Why Give to Habitat When You Could Give to This?
In case you missed it, O.J. Simpson has written a book, “If I Did It,” explaining how he would have committed the gruesome murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman. Of course, it’s easy for Simpson to hypothesize how he would have butchered those two people since he actually did butcher those two people.
Does any sane person actually believe this man is innocent?
Because O.J. apparently loves hypotheticals, I have one for him. What if thousands of Americans across the country each donated five dollars to a legal defense fund that would be used to defend whatever person ends up getting charged with murdering O.J. Simpson?
I know O.J. is all about justice, so if anything ever were to happen to him, e.g. if someone were to shoot him at point blank range, he’d probably want his accused killer to enjoy the same type of legal defense that he enjoyed last decade, don’t you think? Perhaps the government would even allow such donations to qualify as charitable contributions for income tax purposes.
Comments
maybe his kids might have been the only ones who thought he was innocent, but now even they probably think he's a murderer without a drop of soul.

Yeah, my theory is that he's desperate for the cash.
He must have seen that Ashley Judd Double Jeopardy movie one too many times.

Is it too late for the feds to get him for violation of civil rights?

I think it would be difficult to find anyone out there who thinks that he is innocent. I just hope that his book doesn't sell... please don't let people buy that shit.

My question about his legal defense team is: were they really the best that money could buy? Or was the prosecution in this case just so inept that they got lucky? I think a lot of people consider Cochran & Co. the "best" because they got paid a lot of money to do what they did, but throwing a lot of money at an attorney does not mean he's better or make him better, no?

The prosecution was completely incompetent. Pick up a copy of Vincent Bugliosi's OUTRAGE for more!

Ugh, it's all beyond repulsive.
His publisher needs to be bitch slapped.
Oh and Happy Thanksgiving a little early ;-)

Even though I loathe the man, I admit that I'll probably watch this Fox special to actually see if he'll confess. If nothing else, it might provide the necessary evidence to convince three of the smartest (yet blindest with respect to OJ) people I know that he's guilty.

This really is shocking and unbelievable, even to me. And I really think, as much as it sickens me, the American people will buy this book in large numbers. Because we're just that un-principled.

And right after I commented, Fox canceled the book and interview.
I've got so much pull in this world.
