How I could have killed my wife, by O. J. Simpson
From Catherine Philp in Los Angeles


THEY call it “The Interview that will Shake the Nation”. But two weeks before it is due to air, America is reeling with the news that O. J. Simpson is to describe, before an expected television audience of millions, how he would have murdered his wife.
Mr Simpson, who was controversially acquitted 11 years ago of the murder of his estranged wife, Nicole, and her companion, will detail over a two-hour interview how he might have carried out the crimes had he been the killer.


The former American football star has always denied responsibility for the murders. The interview, to be shown on Fox TV this month, comes before the release of his book on the subject, titled If I Did It.

“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 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 is to be conducted by Judith Regan, of ReganBooks, the publisher of the extraordinary hypothetical memoir. ReganBooks is a subsidiary of HarperCollins, which, like Fox TV, is owned by News Corporation, the parent company of The Times.

News of the interview has outraged relatives of the murder victims and media commentators, who accuse Fox and HarperCollins of indulging in a distasteful ratings war.

Mr Simpson was acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman after a sensational year-long trial. But a subsequent civil trial held him responsible for the killings and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the Goldman family.

The family say that they have yet to receive a cent. One report said that Mr Simpson had received a $3.5 million (£2 million) advance for his book. Fox TV has not disclosed the size of his payment for the interview.

The interview and the book are set to reignite the debate over whether Mr Simpson escaped justice when he was acquitted of the two murders.

The National Enquirer, which broke the story about the book last month, cited a source familiar with the project describing the account as “so detailed and chillingly realistic — with O. J. as the central figure — that it leaves no doubt it is a confession of what really happened”.

Fox has released few details of the interview but its website carries a video clip in which the interviewer says: “You wrote, ‘I have never seen so much blood in my life’. ”

Mr Simpson responds: “I don’t think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood.”

Denise Brown, Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister, said in a statement: “We hope Ms Regan takes full accountability for promoting the wrongdoing of criminals and leveraging this forum and the actions of Simpson to commercialise abuse.”

She also said she regretted that the Simpsons’ two children “will be exposed to Simpson’s inexplicable behaviour, and we will provide them with our love and support during this time”.

I agree with you, Petunia! Why would anyone want to interview him in the first place??

Or represent him, or publish such trash. Sad part is Sept. people will read his book and I bet it's a best-seller.

Now there's a news flash -"... television indulging in distasteful ratings war."


It was only a matter of time before this story reared its ugly head again - and I would say, in TV land, 10 years would just about be the right (or ripe?) time for this to occur.

Unfortunately, EVERYONE will be watching this (just like the trial); and of course, the book will be a best seller, because after all, the two hour interview will only be "tittlating tid-bits" to further whet people's appetities...

So predictable, how the media manipulates...

I saw part of an interview on Larry King last night. The publisher was quoted by King as saying: "I consider this to be his confession..." (Sure you do...)

Well, I consider this to be a money-grab for both Simpson and the Publisher/Media. To hell with the victims, as usual.

Altered State

Well, I consider this to be a money-grab for both Simpson and the Publisher/Media.

Exactly.

GRRRRRRRRRRR ARGHHHHHHHHHHH GROWLLLLLLLLLL

[(JD)]

I think what we tend to forget is these people (movie stars, professional sports, and, the media!) live and breathe exposure through the media... that is their job... they don't know anything else...
it has nothing to do with sensitivity, truth, justice or the American Way ,imo

[darkeyes]

He's disgusting, I do not know how he could live with himself, knowing what he did. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!

[LILITH]

I have worked in Domestic Violence for over 20 years. I am appalled over this whole new TV interview. But maybe we will find out how he did it.

[nothemama8]

what upsets me the most is he can now out right say I did it and get away scot free, double indemnity

i posted......under weezilgirl................which part of "fair and balanced" is this for Fox?

[seeker1950]

He is a complete textbook Narcissist and sociopath.

[sabby]

That he is seeker...that he is. The only comfort is to know that what goes around comes around. In the end he will be judged by the almighty....

[(JD)]

I never believed that he did it...alone. IF he did it at all...it wasn't alone. I don't know how much more the family and the rest of the community can take of him touting like he does. IMO if he leads us all to believe he really did it, through the interview process, I fear someone taking revenge upon him. This has to be a very greedy step, very stupid and very greedy perhaps?

[JustAPixie]

This whole thing disgusts me!!! Why isn't he sitting in a corner crying about what happened???

[Boopers]

How sad and disgusting.I can only imagine how the families are taking this news.

So sad,
Linda

[darkeyes]

Well, say he didn't do it alone or he paid someone to do it,to me it would be just as bad,even if he didn't have the weapon in his own hand.
Just my own feelings on this. Several celebrities have gotten away with murder, and sadly to say their wealth brought them freedom, but does or will the guilt hold them prisoners in their mind? We'll never know, I guess.

[seeker1950]

Remember the long SLOW car police chase after the discovery of the murder? What was that about?
Last week on one of the TV tabloid shows, he was featured with women doing lap dances on him at a party he was giving, and him saying, "Thank you, Jesus!" (It's so sad to see women debase themselves in this way!)
He is just low life scum.

IDK I just saw the same type of video clips with Swartzenegger and such dancing.

[oksomaybeimnuts]

according to CNN and Fox, the OJ book and the tv special have both been cancelled.

Hello Folks

I don't know how many of you have seen on the News about what O.J. Simpson has done, it's really kind of hard to believe that this Guy wrote a book about how he would do it if he was going to kill his X-wife and her boyfriend.

You talk about a person with GALL and, AUDACITY and a VILE Manner, this O.J. Simpson, takes the cake..

The Goldman family has started an online petition at www.dontpayoj.com, urging people to not buy the book or watch the interview, and to denounce anyone who profits from it

Just imagine how this will make both those families relive the pain as O.J. Simpson got Acquitted of the murders and now it is gonna try to profit from a concocked story of how he would have done it..

Take Care
Bruce

you can sign an ONLINE petition here www.dontpayoj.com

This guy is out of his ever loving mind.!!!

Wonderful news for the people!!! If we stand together, it can change an outcome.
