O.J Simpson to write book that details murders

[SuperJerk 0]

If the Bobster wants us to take his word for something, he needs to give reasons instead of just making assertions.

 

I'm getting terribly annoyed by how very few around here ever bothers to explain themselves anymore. We used to have real discussions. Nowadays people can't be bothered to say more than a few words, but still expect the rest of the world to treat their opinions as valid.

I'm still waiting for the day when Fred Goldman just snaps and guns down OJ in cold blood in front of a 100 witnesses. When's he going to do it???

I think your problem is more when people disagree with you. Call me crazy, but you don't get pissy like this until that happens. I mean, trying to tell someone they're wrong because they weren't old enough at the time of the event to fully comprehend it? I demand you post scanned copies of any and all diplomas and degrees you've earned in your life before I take anything you say seriously. Christ.

 

Back on topic, OJ got off because, as noted earlier by a much more intelligent person than myself, the prosecution became the defendants. That and you're seriously fronting if you don't think the jury was afraid of setting off riots in an area that was ravaged by them a mere several years earlier and because the trial was rife with racial tension, even if it was mostly an angle the defense was using.

Since I was 20 years old at the time, and presumably Jerk will allow ME to say it:

 

The prosuectors were incompetent, Darden let Cochran walk all over him.

[bobobrazil1984 0]

I remember watching the trial every day (almost) on E!

 

Frankly, the defense did everything they were supposed to, they did their job well, raising kernals of doubt in all the scenarios and effectively restaging the debate into the LAPD's racism. The prosecution didn't do its job of refocusing the trial on the evidence they had.

 

I was young at the time and had a dream that OJ would be innocent, and then the real killer would appear somehow, and it'd be an evil twin of OJ named "grape juice" (i'm not joking by the way). I remember OJ running through some crowds and giving Grape Juice a football tackle and catching him. true story. the dream that is.

Wait, this isn't what happened?

Would have been a better ending too.

I had no doubts OJ did it, but I didn't believe for a second that the prosecution made a solid case. Their evidence was flimsy at best, their witnesses were some of the biggest laughers on the planet, and the officer they put on the stand was a walking nightmare and could have made it so Charles Manson got off.

 

The city spent like 12 million and did a piss poor job with the case.

I would be furious any anyone for buying this, for giving that murderer a freaking dime...

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'm buying it.

Seroiusly though, no way in fucking hell OJ killed them HIMSELF. Now, he paid someone to do it, and should rot in jail for the rest of his life for it, but he didn't personally kill them. It was the obvious work of professionals. ANd if the prosecution was so up their own ass with trying to get the famous guy in jail for commiting the murders, they would have done the obvious and got him for paying someone and got that fucker the needle.

 

Instead you have this shit.

I don't see what's so hard to believe about a man stabbing two people to death.

 

I'm sure you have some excellent explanations for why his DNA was all over the crime scene.

He was still fucking her, and cut himself shaving his pubes in her bathroom sometime in late May 1994?

It should be one sentence:

 

"If I did it, I would've gotten convicted.

The end."

 

 

Oh, I s'pose that's 2 sentences...

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Wasn't he kind of found guilty in the civil trial, though? I'm totally confused trying to remember the whole thing...I'm talking about the second trial, not the first one.

[bob_barron 0]

He was found liable

I remember the joke that came out of that...

 

"California: The only state in the union where a double homicide is punishable by a large fine."

And he also paid this person to leave his blood everywhere?

This should make a great companion piece to Shawn Michaels' 1999 bestseller.........

O.J. Simpson to Discuss Killings

By Associated Press

6 hours ago

 

 

O.J. Simpson speaks during an interview at the Fox ...

LOS ANGELES - Fox plans to broadcast an interview with O.J. Simpson in which the former football star discusses "how he would have committed" the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, for which he was acquitted, the network said.

 

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

 

Simpson has agreed to an "unrestricted" interview with book publisher Judith Regan, Fox said.

 

"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."

 

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

 

In a video clip on the network's Web site, an off-screen interviewer says to Simpson, "You wrote 'I have never seen so much blood in my life.'"

 

"I don't think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood," Simpson responds.

 

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 immediately returned.

That could be great television. And I know what I'm putting on MY christmas list this year!

I still want Ripper to explain his nonsensical belief that OJ paid a hitman to commit the murders when the whole case against him was based on physical evidence linking him to the crime scene.

[devo 0]

Fox has no shame. Not that that's news or anything, but still.

I should write OJ a letter about how if I were to theoretically steal a book, this is how I did it.

Victims' families lash out at Simpson

 

LOS ANGELES - Relatives of the victims in the Simpson slayings case are lashing out at the planned publication of a book by O.J. Simpson in which he discusses how he would have committed the killings of his ex-wife and her friend "if I did it."

 

"He destroyed my son and took from my family Ron's future and life. And for that I'll hate him always and find him despicable," Fred Goldman said in an interview broadcast Thursday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

 

The book, "If I Did It," is being published by ReganBooks, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. It goes on sale Nov. 30. Fox, which like Harper Collins is owned by News Corp., is airing a two-part TV interview of Simpson on Nov. 27 and 29.

 

Denise Brown, sister of Nicole Brown Simpson, accused publisher Judith Regan of "promoting the wrongdoing of criminals" and commercializing abuse.

 

She added: "It's unfortunate that Simpson has decided to awaken a nightmare that we have painfully endured and worked so hard to move beyond."

 

Regan refused to say what Simpson is being paid for the book, which is being offered for $16.47. She said he came to her with the idea.

 

"This is an historic case, and I consider this his confession," Regan told The Associated Press.

 

In a brief promotional clip from the interview posted on Fox's Web site, Simpson, says, "I don't think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood."

 

He is also seen setting aside a copy of a book he is reading from and saying, "I can't do no more of this." Neither the title of the book nor the context for his statements was provided.

 

Simpson did not return numerous calls for comment. Simpson's own attorney Yale Galanter said he did not know about the book or the interview until this week.

 

Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of murder in the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman after a trial that became a cultural flashpoint and a source of racial tension. He was later found liable for the deaths in a wrongful-death suit filed by the Goldman family but has failed to pay the $33.5 million judgment.

 

His National Football League pension and his Florida home cannot legally be seized. He and the families of the victims have wrangled over the money in court for years.

 

The families could go after the proceeds from the book's sales to pay off the judgment. But one legal analyst said there are ways to get around that requirement — such as having proceeds not go directly to Simpson.

 

"Clever lawyering can get you a long way," said Laurie Levenson, a Loyola University law school professor and former federal prosecutor who has followed the case closely.

 

As explosive as the interview or book may be, the criminal justice system's protection against double jeopardy means Simpson's book should not expose him to any new criminal charges, she said.

 

"He's snubbing his finger to the system, to the community again," Goldman's sister, Kim Goldman, told CNN's Larry King Live. "He's telling us one more time, 'I'm gonna continue to get away with killing your family members and I'm not gonna honor the judgment and look at me, ha, ha, ha.'"

Looks like FOX bowed to the public anger and cancelled BOTH the TV special and the book.

 

Damn, I wanted to see what the nutcase had to say!
