OJ Just Couldn't Stand It

Simpson to tell how he did it-if he had done it


By EDWARD WYATT, The New York Times

LOS ANGELES (Nov. 14) - O. J. Simpson, who was acquitted 11 years ago in the 1994 death of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald L. Goldman has written a book and will appear on television telling “how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible,” his publisher and the Fox television network said on Tuesday.

'If I Did It'

Judith Regan, whose publishing imprint ReganBooks will release Mr. Simpson’s book Nov. 30, also conducted the television interviews, which will be broadcast on Fox in two one-hour segments on Nov. 27 and Nov. 29. Both ReganBooks and Fox are owned by the News Corporation.

According to a news release, the book and the TV special, which has a working title of “O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened,” will depict Mr. Simpson describing “how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade.”


Mr. Simpson was acquitted of criminal charges, but a civil court found him responsible for the deaths, and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in restitution to the families. Only a part of the amount has been paid, and relatives of the victims have continued to pursue their claims.

The TV special is being produced by Ms. Regan, who moved to Los Angeles from New York this year. Ms. Regan has previously produced shows for television featuring her authors, including a special with Jenna Jameson, the sex-film star and author of the book “How to Make Love Like a Porn Star,” which was also published by ReganBooks.

The TV special will be on Fox during the final week of the November sweeps, the period when local network affiliates measure viewership in order to determine what rates they can charge for advertising.

Like most murderers, he just HAS to tell. He's proud of it, no doubt.

speaking of whores

I guess that's what the Fox network is, too. Or the "News Corporation."

News indeed.

Ahhh, but he has to make $$ to pay his restitution, see. He's just making a living like the rest of us, trying to pay off his debt to society.

The only reason he is doing this now is because he is a washed up hack and wants back in the limelight. It is just a sorry attempt to capitalize on his "innocence". Blah!

Fox is a bunch of pandering whoremongers who wouldn't know nor care about what was true or factual unless Factual sauntered by, dragging a big bag of money by its penis.

Same goes for most in the mainstream news media...

yeah, Fox and Ms. Regan deserve some kind of Sick/Greed award, but my real problem is OJ "pretending" and then carrying out that "pretending" of Nicole's and Ron's death. I'm asking--if your beloved had been brutally murdered (I saw the photo of Nicole--she was very nearly decapitated--classic overkill) would you engage in fantasies about "well, you know, if I had done it, I would have done so-and-so..."

OJ is a narcissist. I think he really does want to flaunt the fact that he got away with two murders.

I guess there's nothing to do but wait for Michael Jackson to hawk his book: "I DID touch them!"

I don't think she was his beloved after she took him to the cleaners and drove away in his Ferrari. Guys like that don't handle losing well.

That's why he cut out her breast implants.

I don't handle losing well, either. Once, my little brother beat me at "Chutes and Ladders" so I picked up the game and smashed it into the television set. Then I set my mother on fire, and let the house burn down. I ran down the street keying every car I ran past. I shot 5 people who were waiting in line for flu vaccinations. My temper...my little brother and I still giggle over it.

True. She was not his beloved but she was his property.
