Simpson was tried for the crime in a case that captured the attention of the American people, but was ultimately found not guilty of criminal charges. The victims' families brought civil cases against Simpson, and he was found liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole by committing battery with malice and oppression. In 2006, HarperCollins announced the publication of a book in which O.J. Simpson told how he hypothetically would have committed the murders. In response to public outrage that Simpson stood to profit from these crimes, HarperCollins canceled the book. A Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the Goldmans in August 2007 to partially satisfy the unpaid civil judgment, which has risen, with interest, to over $38 million. The Goldman family views this book as his confession, and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn the truth. This is the original manuscript approved by O.J. Simpson, with up to 14,000 words of key additional commentary.--From publisher's description.

Add a CommentGreat book! I agree with neither the Goldman family or O.J. but it was a great read. Very realistic!
I thought this book was more a love story then a confession and it contradicted itself a lot. One moment O.J. was saying how he killed her, the next chapter was about how he could never kill her - completely crazy. O.J. has issues!
When a gifted athlete is rewarded with far greater admiration and monetary compensation than the truly brilliant individuals in a society; i.e., the scientists, the inventors and the great leaders, then it's no surprise when said athlete believes he can commit murder and get away with it. Neither OJ nor Nicole ever had to grow up. And yes, she was nearly as troubled as he was. Revisiting this for the first time since the criminal trial, what stands out is Kato Kaelin's role in their relationship. Metaphorically speaking, he was like an acne pustule that indicated far greater problems underneath the skin's surface. He's a classic example of the distraction that couples will use to ignore their real problem(s). It was OJ and Nicole's reaction to him that revealed much of what was wrong in their relationship. Besides Kato, the Kardashian family's involvement is interesting as well as the reminder that Nicole's condo was eerily on a street named Bundy. (I actually listened to this on downloadable audio last week and the audio book, and especially the narrator doing his best OJ vocal imitation, is recommended).
