Publishers offered O.J. Simpson $3.5 million dollars to write a tell-all about the double murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Simpson, who was found not guilty in his notorious criminal trial, but later found responsible for his ex-wifes death in civil court, will write the book as if he did slaughter his wife and an innocent bystander.
Simpson is not actually confessing to the murder rather, hes writing a hypothetical book which the Enquirer reports is tentatively being called If I Did It.
The early part of the book tells how Simpson fell in love with Nicole and how the marriage collapsed, reports the tab. He goes on, according to the article, to describe in gruesome detail the killing of his ex-wife and Goldman; he stipulates that the murder scenes are hypothetical. But, notes the tab, the descriptions are so detailed and so chillingly realistic that readers are left with little doubt as to what really happened.
Simpson still owes the Brown and Goldman families millions of dollars from the civil judgment, but none of the money from the book deal will make it to their pockets; Simpson allegedly vowed to spend the $3.5 million as quickly as possible in order to avoid paying up. Photo Location
He used to be able to run with a football and now, now he reveals "chillingly realistic" writing skills.
Who knew he had such an imagination!
I hope he doesn't get saddled with the old sophmore slump and keeps putting quality writing out. As long as I'm not on the receiving end the next time he goes out to do some "research" for the next novel...

For a sequel he could write a book about a guy who likes to golf all day and owes millions of dollars, then gets busted for selling illegal satellite TV descrambler chips.

OJ is our prime example of how the system doesn't work at all. His defence was an elaborate story, maybe his lawers should write the book for him.
Except the small fact of his lawyer and the whole dead thing...

Wasn't the investigation into the case severely fucked up by the cops in the case? I seem to remember reading about blood samples getting shuffled around wrong, evidence being tampered with and racism on the part of the investigators. I'm not arguing that he's innocent, I don't know one way or the other about it, but I don't think he's evidence that the system is somehow completely broken. It's imperfect, but still pretty good compared to the various alternatives.
Everyone already knows OJ is worthless scum. I think the indviduals behind the publishing should be exposed and called out as worthless scum. Anything for a buck.

Completely broken would be an exageration, but IMO, the system was never intended to let the defense make up any story it wants in order to create reasonable doubt.

This is like giving R. Kelly 3.5 million to write a story about hypothetically pissing on 15 year old girls.
A total waste.
Maybe I'm fucked up but I personally have no problem with OJ simpson or R. Kelly.
