O J Simpson: "If I did it, Here's how it happened"

Original Article

Over 10 years after he was tried for two murders in the “Trial of the Century” that captured the attention of the world, 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. Noted publisher Judith Regan will talk with Simpson in a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred interview that will be the basis of a two-part special, O.J. SIMPSON: IF I DID IT, HERE’S HOW IT HAPPENED (working title), airing Monday, Nov. 27 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Wednesday, Nov. 29 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

The Simpson criminal and civil trials captivated people around the world for a decade, and now no topics are off-limits – Simpson has agreed to an unrestricted interview with Regan. 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. It’s the definitive last chapter in the Trial of the Century," said Mike Darnell, Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming.

Although acquitted of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, Simpson was later sued in civil court, found responsible for both murders and ordered to pay $33.5 million in restitution to the families of the victims. A decade later, Simpson has written a book that hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed. “If I Did It” will go on sale Thursday, Nov. 30, under the REGAN imprint.

======================================

So Yeah....I wanna watch this maybe. I honestly don't know what to think about this. The trial was sensationalized to the point that I didn't believe anything that was put forth.....it should be interesting

I think...

That this is his way to confess to it without actually confessing. Therefore, he can rid his consience and feel more at ease.

This show should be killer. I'm just dying to see it. I think this show is going to murder anything else in it's time slot, and anyone who doesn't watch it is making a grave mistake. I dunno, just thought I'd take a stab at some humor here.

You gotta love double jeopardy. If he really did do it, he could come right out and say it with total immunity. Amazing.

And make a few extra bucks, too. Everyone's a winner!

...and so television takes another blow for the team. Honestly *sighs* Why the hell would you say what you would've done if you murdered someone? That is just plain stupid.

Wait, what the hell? I realise I'm centuries late here, but he was found guilty and didn't go to jail? Let's just assume I'm missing something here.

Anyway, this is ridiculous. Seriously, what the hell is this? 'I didn't kill anyone, BUT LET'S SAY I DID, THIS WOULD BE HOW'? Really now. Disgusting.

And Stryker, let's not turn this into a racial matter. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with you, but just don't.

And make money off of it. Not to mention, that by giving a detailed discription of what he DIDN'T do, it some how exhonorates him from doing what he actually did. At least in his warped mind.

I don't think it was EVER a matter of race, but of celebrity. A lot of people hated what he did (and he did it) because he was famous and got away with it. Meanwhile, Martha Stewart goes to prison for some stupid stock broking insider deal. There's the American Justice system for you.

Hey! Maybe that lame ass hacktor that was on Barata will write one of these books too. And Michael Jackson will relase a book called, "If I molested these children, Here's how it would look."

He wasn't found guilty, actually. He was found innocent. But it was a huge... error on the part of the jury. So many facts seemed to prove otherwise.

I realize that I am just igniting a fire, and I DO NOT want this thread to get all messy...

But I think race did have something to do with it, but celebrity had EVERYthing to do with it. I won't explain further, because I don't want this thread to go down that path. But yes, celebrity made him 'not guilty' of murder.

Actually, I wanted to go onto this big joke about it becoming the most homo-erotic novel ever produced, but that's highly inappropriate to get into.

He was found innocent in the criminal trial...the one that would have sent him to jail. It also means that if he did do it...and walked into a police station and said "yeah I killed her. I did it...me...not gonna say I didn't do it anymore." they couldn't do a darn thing. Can't be tried for the same crime in the same type of court twice.

He was found Liable in the civil courts...which meant he had to pay lots of money to the families....but no jail.

Like I said before, the case was so sensationalized that I decided not to make a judgement. I never saw the evidence for myself and the media is biast whether we like it or not.

It is awfully weird and damning, though, to write a book on how one MIGHT have killed someone else...

He never paid a cent of it, though. Nor will he have to give up any of the proceeds of the book, most likely.

Actually, he was never found "innocent", he was found "not guilty." I don't mean that as a nitpick and it might sound exactly the same to some people but legally there is a difference. Innocent means exactly that, you are innocent because you did not commit the crime. Not guilty does not necessarily mean you didn't do it, it means that there is not enough evidence to prove that you did do it beyond reasonable doubt.

Personally, I don't think anyone who was innocent would go and write a book about how "If I did it, Here's how it happened." Also, anyone who would write a book or give an interview about how he would have killed the mother of his kids is definitely not innocent of anything and actually guilty of so much more.
