NEW YORK – O.J. Simpson created an uproar Wednesday with plans for a TV interview and book titled “If I Did It” — an account the publisher pronounced “his confession” and media executives condemned as revolting and exploitive.
Publisher thinks book is O.J.’s ‘confession’ – Sports – MSNBC.com
How desperate have we become, that FOX is sure enough that we will be glued to the television during OJ’s debut of his so called confession. They are paying him somewhere around 3.5 million dollars for this charade. This is not entertainment, it is sick! He has the audacity to put his children and the families of the dead through this again! Most of us are reasonably sure that he committed those murders. The only reason he is not rotting away in jail is because he had millions of dollars to spend on his defense.
He was found not guilty of the murders, but found liable to pay 33.5 million dollars in damages, as a result of the civil suit filed by the Goldman family. Simpson has yet to pay any of the money and apparently told them that he would not pay them if he could find a way not to. How can our justice system allow this. It is bad enough that a murderer is running free, to think he is making money on his confession, is absurd. I know the law double jeopardy says you can’t be tried twice for the same crime if found not guilty, but this law gives this murderer the arrogance to speak of his crime. Even though the pretense is hypothetical, this is disgusting!

I agree that this is a sorry display of humanity on O.J’s part. Even if this is in fact a confession it is a sorry one. I guess I will have to read the book and watch the interview before I form a final opinion on this matter but it seems like he is up to no good.

i think the reason fox assumes we will be glued to this show is because of how popular reality t.v now a day is. The O.J. case was publised so much so i bet evryone would want to watch this just as to way to be in the know of it all. I mean people now a days are nosey and of course they would be glued to the tv to find out about someone’s personal life espacilly that it invovles this much drama
