O.J. To Describe Double-Murder In Interview!
O.J. Simpson is in the news again, and its still not good. According to the National Enquirer, O.J. has been paid $3.5 million for a book that is tentatively titled “If I Did It”.
According to the article, the book describes “…in gruesome detail the killing of his ex-wife and Goldman; he stipulates that the murder scenes are hypothetical.” The detail in which the murders are described is so chilling that there is little doubt to be left in the minds of the readers as to what actually transpired. Simpson, though, can’t be retried for the murders because of double jeopardy laws.
As if the book wasn’t chilling (read maddening) enough, Fox will be airing a two-part interview in which Simpson will describe the double-murder, which he insists he didn’t commit.
The interview will be conducted by Judith Regan, who is also the editor and publisher of the former football star’s upcomming book, and will air at 9 p.m. November 27 and 29 on Fox.
Interestingly enough, O.J. Simpson has yet to pay the $33 million awarded to the families of the victims in the civil suit judgment. Let’s hope at least some of the $3.5 million will go towards that payment.
Here’s a link to a promo of the interview.

One of the articles I read stated that he could get around paying towards the settlement if the payment for the book didn’t come directly to him. It talked about how a little creative lawyering could keep the money away from the victims for a long time.
While this is definte purely a ratings grabber for FOX, it should definitely make his supporters rethink their decision.

[...] Just when we were getting ready to see O.J. describe in graphic detail, murders that he didn’t commit, it appears that Fox has decided to commit a double-murder of its own. As a result of the extremely negative reaction that Fox was getting from mainstream media they have decided to kill the book and TV interview with O.J. Simpson. “I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project,” said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. “We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.” [...]
