O.J. Simpson to confess — hypothetically

O.J. Simpson is confessing. Hypothetically, that is.

The former football great, who was acquitted in criminal court 11 years ago of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, reportedly has been paid a whopping $3.5 million to write about the double murder that shocked and riveted the nation in 1994, according to a detailed report in the new National Enquirer.

But Simpson is not actually confessing to the murder — rather, he’s 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 can never be retried for the murders because of double jeopardy laws, according to the Enquirer, which also claims that Simpson aims to keep any book money instead of paying it out in a civil suit judgment against him by spending it all quickly

I saw some piece on TV where he some gag skit show called "juiced" and all i can say is wow OJ is creepy as hell.
One skit he had his white Bronco and was trying to sell it on some car lot to people complete with an autographed bullet hole on the quarter panel.
His sales pitch was that the bronco has great "escape-ability"

"If I Did It" - what a ****ing heartless bastard. I'm sure there's a special place in hell for people like him.

 

[moff_quigley]

Anybody else notice that the original report came from the National Enquirer? Since when has a supermarket rag printed an actual factual story? Well except maybe Batboy. Batboy lives!!!!

We can only hope so....George Bush...OJ....all those guys

 

[Echo]

I call shenanigans on this story.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

I find it hilarious that MSNBC gets their info from the Enquirer....but I'm not surprised either....

 

[blt2ride]

To be honest, this certainly sounds like something O.J. would get involved with. O.J always makes it sound like he is hurting for money; despite reports that he receives about $40,000 a month from his NFL pension.

After everything O.J. has done (and not done—like attempt to pay his judgment), you really have to feel for the victims’ families.

The best OJ skit of all time has to the SNL piece where he was a sideline reporter. He scribbled plays on the screen that spelled out, "I did it." Tim Meadows made that skit work, and oh man, did it ever.

I remember that! It was right after his acquittal—probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

You're right, Meadows played that part very well...

 

[Atomic Dog]

Well except maybe Batboy. Batboy lives!!!!

Damn straight.

Can someone just sniper his ass? preferably in the gut, so he can die real slow-like? Actually, in the thigh... shatter the femur and let him bleed to death.

Seriously, it's really not that hard to murder someone these days...

 

[rooftest]

I prefer to remember OJ for the great running back and poor actor that he was. Go 32!

exactly...I don't get why folks are not more upset with the justice system that allowed him to walk....D

I don't get why folks are not more upset with the justice system that allowed him to walk

Here's Why:
1. blacks (and all minorities) are happy that someone of color FINALLY stuck it to the man.

However, what those minorities fail to realize is that OJ isn't a black man he is (was?) a green man. His "sticking it" wasn't good for black people, it was good for the wealthy.

2. White middle class people are a little more distracted by 'President' Bush. There was an outcry back then, but really, it was a double murder so the uproar died away. It's not like OJ stole billions of dollars from investors ruining 1000s of lives. Or touching little boys every chance he gets. Or invading other countries. Or bombing buildings and killing 1000s.

Sad? Sure. Big deal? Nope.

It helps when the cops don't walk around with vials of blood in their pockets.

I think they framed a guilty man. And if that's true, the jury did the right thing (for the wrong reasons, however.)

I wish he'd just fade away like his approach on #9 at Sawgrass.

O.J. Simpson to discuss killings

In a new TV interview and book, O.J. Simpson discusses how he would have committed the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend "if I did it."

The two-part television interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29 on Fox, the TV network said Tuesday.

"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."

"This is an interview that no one thought would ever happen. Its the definitive last chapter in the Trial of the Century," Mike Darnell, executive vice president of alternative programming for Fox, said in a statement.

The interview, conducted with book publisher Judith Regan, will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It," goes on sale Nov. 30. The book "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed," the network said.

The book is published by ReganBooks, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers run by Regan.

Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was acquitted in a criminal trial of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in 1997 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.

Messages left with Simpson and his attorney Yale Galanter were not returned Tuesday night.
