IATTBYB Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Link to CNN story Please God, let him demonstrate on himself how he would have killed his wife and Ron Goldman. LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- In a new TV interview and book, O.J. Simpson discusses how he would have committed the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend "if I did it." The two-part television interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air November 27 and November 29 on Fox, the TV network said Tuesday. "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." "This is an interview that no one thought would ever happen. It's the definitive last chapter in the Trial of the Century," Mike Darnell, executive vice president of alternative programming for Fox, said in a statement. The interview, conducted with book publisher Judith Regan, will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It," goes on sale November 30. The book "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed," the network said. The book is published by ReganBooks, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers run by Regan. HarperCollins, like Fox, is a unit of News Corporation. 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 returned Tuesday night.

quarter23cd Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Why on Earth, if you have been vehemently denying a murder charge for over a decade, would you agree to do a TV show demonstrating how you "would have done it"? I can't possibly see how this could help people believe he didn't do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Now wait just a minute here. "If" he did it? If?! He's maintained his innoncence all these years....I feel so used. This'll be sweet to watch though. He's an excellent actor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. Peel Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Every penny earned from the book sales had better go to the victims' families. Doesn't he owe them a shitload of money from the civil trial? What a sick fucking bastard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'd watch a Celebrity Boxing Match between OJ and Heather Mills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I wonder if whatever sort of guilt he's felt over the years (in addition to having people yell "Murderer!" at him wherever he goes) has finally gotten to him to the point where he's really gone crazy. He needs to get this all of his chest somehow, and he thinks that by saying "Here's what I would have done, if I had done it" won't really count as a public confession. Just in case a few people believe him. This is weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 O.J. Simpson's acquittal was the nail in the coffin for me having any faith in the judicial system. What a dickhead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I predict that I will be able to stomach approximately 7 minutes of the interview before either hurling or hurling my shoe into the television. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anodyne Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 i'd be more interested in him explaining how he didn't do it. he still doesn't really have an alibi for the night of the killings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jhh4321 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Fucking FOX. I thought they wouldn't be able to top themselves with the team of midgets racing an elephant in pulling a 747 across a tarmac. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Personally I found the midget relay vs. a camel to be more exciting than the 747-pull. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The article doesn't mention it but I wonder if he is going to touch on his progress with finding the real killer(s). I hope that he finds the bastard(s). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tandylacker Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 The article doesn't mention it but I wonder if he is going to touch on his progress with finding the real killer(s). I hope that he finds the bastard(s). The real killers! Ha! Did he ever set up a 1-800 number for that? It was like 1-800-FIND-THEM. I don't know. Anyway, hope he accidentally releases some information that was kept from the public. Forgets what he's supposed to know and what he's not supposed to know. Its been 10 years... maybe it will happen. OJ - "I'd wait in the bushes eating pistachios." POLICE - "Hey, we found pistachio shells at the scene" That's how it will go down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 It doesn't matter. He could come out and say "Damn right I killed them and I'm glad that I did it" and they still couldn't charge him for it again. He's hedging his bets by making this hypothetical, but there's no legal reason why he can't just come out and say he did it. Plus, he already knows all of the evidence that the cops have against him. Or at least any evidence that they used or even had thought about using in the trial. They had to give all that to his defense team before the trial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anodyne Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 because of double jeopardy, maybe. i don't know - if he confessed, even if he was found not guilty (although no one likely believes he's fully innocent), i'd think they'd lock him away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
