LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- On the night Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were brutally murdered, O.J. Simpson's ex-wife was planning to have sex with her waiter friend as a prelude to a menage a trois with a female friend, according to transcripts obtained by CNN.
The information is contained in a sworn deposition given by Cora Fischman, a close friend of both Simpsons, in the wrongful-death civil lawsuit filed by the families of the victims. The civil case is expected to go to trial.
O.J. Simpson was cleared in October of the June 12, 1994, murders of his ex-wife and Goldman.
Since Fischman was a confidant of Nicole Simpson, much of the questioning revolved around Ms. Simpson's relationships with men other than her former husband.
Under questioning by attorney Daniel Petrocelli, who represents Ron Goldman's father, Fred, Fischman claims that Ms. Simpson's friend, Faye Resnick, related the following story to her after the murders.
Fischman said Resnick told her that on the evening of the murders, Resnick talked to Ms. Simpson and was told that Goldman was on his way to the Bundy condominium.
"For what purpose?" Petrocelli asked.
"They were giggling that they were gonna 'do it,'" Fischman quoted Resnick as saying. Fischman says she understood that to mean that Nicole Simpson and Goldman were planning to have sex.
Fischman says Resnick told her that Ms. Simpson wanted to find out if Goldman was "good in bed." If so, according to this account, Ms. Simpson planned to have a three-way sexual relationship with Resnick and Goldman.
When asked if she took this seriously, Fischman said, "At that time I thought they were serious because they already have done it before with another guy."
Fischman stated under oath that Ms. Simpson told her directly that she, Resnick and a man engaged in sex together. Fischman had disclosed during a television interview before the criminal trial started that Resnick and Ms. Simpson had had a sexual relationship.
This is the reason Resnick has stated she disclosed that information in her book "Nicole Brown Simpson: The Private Diary of a Life Interrupted." Resnick, however, did not mention a three-way tryst.
However, Fischman, who admits to a strong dislike for Resnick but claims warm feelings toward Ms. Simpson, says Simpson's ex-wife was not attracted to Goldman and does not believe they ever had sex.
According to the transcript, Fischman claims Ms. Simpson told her that Goldman consistently tried to "verbally" seduce her, weeks before the murders, but that she was not interested.
Also in the deposition, Fischman confirmed that Ms. Simpson and Kansas City Chiefs running back Marcus Allen were having an affair shortly before her slaying -- "whenever Marcus Allen was in town." It began a few months after Nicole Simpson moved out of her husband's Rockingham estate.
Fischman says she does not believe Simpson killed his ex-wife, but she says the two were obsessed with one another.
Fischman said she warned Ms. Simpson about what Fischman considered to be a decadent lifestyle, according to transcript excerpts obtained by The Associated Press.
Fischman said Nicole Simpson led a "dangerous life" in her final weeks that included club-hopping and possible drug use, besides the invitations to men to join her in three-way sex.
