OJ Simpson is confessing. Hypothetically, that is.
The former football great, who was acquitted in criminal court 11 years ago of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, reportedly has been paid a whopping $3.5 million to write about the double murder that shocked and riveted the nation in 1994, according to a detailed report in the new National Enquirer.
But Simpson is not actually confessing to the murder — rather, he’s writing a “hypothetical” book — which the Enquirer reports is tentatively being called “If I Did It, Here's How It Happened”
The early part of the book tells how Simpson fell in love with Nicole and how the marriage collapsed, reports the tab. He goes on, according to the article, to describe in gruesome detail the killing of his ex-wife and Goldman; he stipulates that the murder scenes are “hypothetical.” But, notes the tab, the descriptions are “so detailed and so chillingly realistic” that readers are left with little doubt as to what really happened.
Simpson can never be retried for the murders because of double jeopardy laws, according to the Enquirer, which also claims that Simpson aims to keep any book money instead of paying it out in a civil suit judgment against him by spending it all quickly.
Don't you just love an effective justice system?
UK has recently eliminated double jeopardy law.
Who's to say the US won't follow suit?
I just don't know whether to laugh or cry at the pure gall of this.
Admitting to murders you can never be tried for.
And making MONEY out of it, when he's not even paid back the money he owes to the civil court.
"This is Fred Goldman's 9/11"
yeh i am with you HEB, this moron should just shut up and die.
For a country mad about the death penalty and 'justice' (yes, am aware of ridiculousness of those two things being in the same sentence...) it's hard to believe that the Americans haven't led the way overturning double jepordy rule.
that hypothetical stunt makes me sick. reminds me of how the WA police convicted Mallard... poor bastard wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and they egg'd him on into explaining how, hypothetically, he would have killed the lady. Then wham, bam, thankyou man, they had a 'confession'. ANd yet if someone pulled that stunt on OJ, you won't see me complaining... ha.
This is a far more disgusting and disgraceful thread than the 'Couple Shoot Bear, Fuck On It' thread
Oh man!!!!
Oh, and in the United States the double jeopardy rule is enshrined in their Constitution (5th amendment). It aint going no-where.
So when does the LIndy Chamberlain, How I would Have Killed Lil Azaria book come out.
OJ in an inverse Jesus scenario -JC died to cover for the sins of everyone (or so they say) OJ got off to cover for the massive sins committed against all African Americans.
Bit of commentary from the Onion "OJ Talks About How It Would Hypothetically Feel To Hypothetically Stab His Hypothetical Wife"

This is amazing... So is he being strung up yet?
Murdoch pulls book, interview
My respect for Rupert Murdoch just went up a couple of notches.
So he's now only lower than a snake's cunt, worksafe?
From satans ballsack to satans cock?
I hope they can use this shit as evidence. Or they leak it onto the net.
Pretty much.
So do you think Kramer's outburst was part of a consipiracy to keep OJ free?
this is floating around the torrents now...
He's going to the big house.
about time.
i read the book,it turns out the butler did it,
who would've thought?
huzzah
retrial?
what's going on?
He robbed some dudes trying to sell some of his memorabilia.
No slow-mo freeway chase this time.
No race riots. Not since the saviour of the world was elected.
no, far out, it's a trial for something else
armed robbery of a sports memorabilia store?
x-post
obvs
After getting away with murder, most people would lie pretty low.
Well, he had to pay elephant bucks to the family after the result of the civil trial.
and never did, apparently, so the family took his unreleased book and incorporated the manuscript into a book published under their own names. Good on 'em, hope they made a few bob off it.
The whole book thing seems a bit creepy if you ask me. Would you want to make money out of someone's retelling of how they murdered your daughter?
hahahahahhahahahahahahahhaa
