Blood money row as OJ 'admits' killings

ELEVEN years after O J Simpson walked free from America’s most controversial murder trial, the former star athlete is at the centre of a row over reports that he is being paid $3.5m for an autobiography in which he describes how he “hypothetically” might have murdered his ex-wife and her male friend.

Relatives of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, the two victims of the 1994 double murder that made headlines around the world, expressed disgust and frustration that Simpson might be continuing to profit from a crime that most Americans are convinced he committed, despite his notorious acquittal.

“If this is true, that is blood money and it’s evil and disgusting,” said Denise Brown, the sister of Simpson’s former wife who has become a prominent campaigner against domestic violence. “Any company that actually pays him for this is just as bad as he is.”

The book is reported to have the working title If I Did It. Details were published by the National Enquirer newspaper last week on the same day that Goldman’s father, Fred, launched a new court attempt to seize some of Simpson’s assets in part repayment of a $33.5m judgment against him after he lost a 1997 civil court case.

1. I'm so damn appalled I just don't know what to say except that in today's

America, amoral and soulless as it is, this shouldn't be a surprise.

2. No words - just

:puke:

3. .

I hope that this is some kind of sick joke. Otherwise it's way to weird.

4. He's Ridiculous And Pathetic

5. "If" he did it is an insult,

but I sure would love to know exactly what happened. To see if my theories were correct.

One of the most amazing things that, if you look at the body photo and this was never picked up on, Nicoles fingers were in the form of an "O". Impossible to explain the position by rigor mortis.

I was never more obsessed by anything in my life than that trial. I didn't work the whole time.

9. I'd never heard about Nicole's finger position...

Do you have a link to further info on that? That seems a very important detail...

[Justice Is Comin]

12. This was really tough to find again and it is not the one picture I

was looking for because I wanted the picture that showed it from the front and more of her body. But this shows it perfectly too.

Close your three fingers down and see how deliberate you have to be to put your fingers in that configuration. And more important, see what you get.

What's particularly important to note is that her thumb is closed against her forefinger. That is unnatural and your fingers would never make that shape due to rigor mortis alone.


She was trying to send the message who did it with her last dying breath as she was going to the grave.

14. It is a very UNNATURAL hand/finger position...

Intriguing....

God, I feel so sorry for her parents and the Goldmans... OJ seems to delight in rubbing it in their face.... At least the Goldmans could walk away and let their lawyer persue him... Nicole's parents have to deal with him, given the grandchildren..

The karma that OJ has earned is going to be something to behold....:shrug:



(an FYI to any of the extremely rare DUers who think OJ was innocent: I won't be engaging in that discussion)

6. Take the money and give it to Nicole Brown kid's.

Then put that no good S.O.B. in jail.

[pretzel4gore]

7. OJ was innocent...

a jury of his peers weighed the evidence and concluded OJ is like Norman Bates mama; he wouldn't hurt a fly even if it on his arm.
(i wonder how many people realize the simpson event, a shabby domestic murder, specifically its coverage, was a psyche op, which helped prep us for clinton impeachment, bush, the 2k election and 911?)
when we get to hell, lucifer will explain how it worked

[Giant Robot]

8. Just...

at a loss for words.

[Scout]

10. this is disgusting

what's even worse, it will probably be a huge bestseller if it's published.

:puke:

[The Gunslinger]

11. Whoever buys it is a sick freak.

I alredy know OJ is, and so is the company who will publish it.

[Kingshakabobo]

13. I'm against the death penalty but I'm not against revenge......

......in a situation like this. If this book were to come out and I were Ronald Goldman's father, I would walk up to Simpson and shoot him right in the head. I doubt a jury would convict him.
