(11/15/06 - LOS ANGELES, CA) - In a new TV interview and book, O.J. Simpson discusses how he would have committed the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend "if he did it."
The two-part television interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29 on Fox, the TV network said Tuesday.
"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."
The interview, conducted with book publisher Judith Regan, will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It," goes on sale Nov. 30. The book "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed," the network said.
Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was acquitted in a criminal trial of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in 1997 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.
Messages left with Simpson and his attorney Yale Galanter were not returned Tuesday night.
I won't watch this crap... or spend a penny for this book. Amazing...
Most people believe, without a doubt, that this guy murdered his ex-wife, and that guy. And now, he's going to make frakkin' money off of this.
I guess that he showed up at some event in Vegas, and everyone was booing him, and yelling out "murderer" etc... He's quite unpopular.

I could care less how OJ feels about who and how is ex-wife and her friend were killed. The court of public opinion has certainly made their judgement known.
I'm just saddened that the prosecution screwed up so badly as to allow the defense to shred its evidence to pieces and get him acquitted. I watched that entire trial; if I were sitting on the jury, I would have found him not guilty based on the evidence presented.
HECK! said this in post #6 : His blood on the crime scene. Their blood in his car. The cuts on his hand. The Bronco chase.
-HECK!
Here's how I questioned those:
1) There was no time associated with his blood on the crime scene, their blood in his car, and the cuts on his hand. In other words, (a) the age of his blood at the crime scene could not be established as the same age of the victim's blood at the crime scene; (b) the age of the blood in his Bronco could not be established as the same age of the blood at the crime scene; (c) the time he received those cuts cut not be established as the same time the murders occured at the crime scene.
As for the Bronco chase, I don't see where that has a bearing on the murders. The bloody glove behind the bungalow carried more weight, in my opinion, than the Bronco chase.
If we're talking reasonable doubt, you are totally right. There was reasonable doubt because of the prosecution's inability to present a seemingly slam dunk case and the defense's overblown, grandiose tactics. It was a show, a mockery almost.
Nonetheless, I would have still voted guilty. While you are right about the time's not being able to be proven, I don't think it takes a mightly leap to connect the dots. That's why in he was found liable for their deaths in the civil case.
I watched that entire case, and then some. I was in school at the time, and law was my major. So, this was something that I was very interested in.
The prosecution was sloppy, and there was reasonable doubt. But, as Heck said, it really doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots! And those dots were in blood. I would have voted guilty.

Regardless of the case, does anyone else find it creepy that dude is talking about the murders in this way? What about a book of theories describing other people who might have done it... or how he is finding the real killers. So much for never resting on that mission.
If I was OJ Simpson I'd just come out and say.. " Yeah, I DID IT! Whatcha gon do about it? That's right, I said it, Ever hear of "Double Jeopardy" SUCKAS?!!
Then I'd run real fast to my waiting jet plane and never step foot in the USA again. I'd give the paparazzi the finger and hope my plane lands safely in some remote country and declare myself "King".
