Oj what if i did it

The interview, like the book, would be a rehashing of the atrocious murders, all with Simpson giving commentary about how he would have hypothetically pulled it off. He would get into details about why and when his anger exploded, how Nicole struggled, how bloody the event was.

It was going to be an absolutely vile television event. And — surprise, surprise — people were aghast when Fox announced their intentions. Immediately after it was revealed, over a dozen major Fox affiliates refused to show the special.

The outcry was vast and nonstop, sending Fox into a PR nightmare. For her part, Regan said that she decided to do the special as an attempt to find closure after being abused in the past. And the people who denied it, they were there, too. And though it might sound a little strange, Nicole and Ron were in my heart.

And for them I wanted him to confess his sins, do penance, and to amend his life. This book and TV special got nothing but pure hatred from people and, like all things Simpson, the scandal became a huge topic of interest for America. Shelves: murder. This book was so revolting that I stopped reading it after about the first 40 pages. OJ continued to assert that he was better than Nicole, and that after they had gotten divorced, she begged to get him back even though he was dating Paula what's-her-name, and that she wouldn't stop phoning him and trying to win him back.

It was disgusting. The prologue, written by the Goldman family, was equally foul. They wrote of their desire for vengeance, and while I understand that, seeing that OJ obviousl This book was so revolting that I stopped reading it after about the first 40 pages.

They wrote of their desire for vengeance, and while I understand that, seeing that OJ obviously murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, give it a rest. There was also a prologue written by the ghostwriter, who had met with OJ to get all of the details of the 'if I did it', which was supposed to be a thinly veiled 'confession'.

I don't even understand how this man could have stood to be in OJ's presence and not wanted to vomit. OJ continued to assert his innocence and that IF he had done it, he wouldn't have been able to do it alone. After the book had been written, the ghostwriter claimed, he sent copies to OJ and OJ wanted him to remove the ENTIRE chapter on the murders, saying that he hated it and that it wasn't correct at all.

I was simply disgusted by the few pages that I read, and I don't recommend it to anyone with even the remotest shred of decency. View 1 comment. Jul 07, Reneau Reneau rated it it was ok. A strange concoction that tries to be a kind of "Hey, to be honest with you, I didn't do it, but supposing I did, Nicole, to tell you the truth, really drove me to it, she was such a slutty cokehead, but I loved her and could never kill her, and besides there's nothing to that domestic abuse shit, but even if there was, she was the heavy, not me, I'm all crippled with arthritis, to honest, but to sell this book here's a hypothetical scenario for your entertainment.

If you're doing research on criminal minds, or have a particular interest in the O. I can understand why the Goldman family would want to see it in print. But as entertainment, it's a dud. Sep 28, Christina rated it liked it Shelves: own , true-crime. OJ is a delusional wanker. Does he really expect people to believe he had nothing to do with the murders?

The answer is yes Throughout the book he tries to paint a picture of himself as the perfect ex-husband, someone who loved Nicole and could never have committed these crimes. I didn't buy his innocence before and I sure as hell don't buy it now. Mar 11, OJ Simpson rated it it was amazing. Jan 23, Allen Price rated it it was amazing. Go right out and get this book because you will be donating to very good causes battered women's programs led by the Goldman family.

You also won't believe what OJ's ghost writer tells him to his face. You'll get more insight into the Hollywood celebrity lifestyle than you may want, but you'll end up with a much broader perspective of "why he did it", not "if, I did it".

Insightful and chilling. I'm glad the Goldmans wrestled with agony of publishing this book.

I will post a full review after I recover from reading this book. For now, all I will say is that this book is the worst and the ugliest case of a character assassination I've read or heard about in my life.

I would have never read this book if the proceeds of this book would've still be going to OJ Simpson. I admire Goldmans for not giving up the fight for justice. Full review to come View 2 comments. First up, fascinating story. You would have to have been under a rock during the early 90s not to know this story, and the trial.

Secondly, who on earth would write a book about "if I did it" when you received a not guilty criminal verdict guilty civil though. Where were his advisers?! But despite all this, I really wanted to read this book. Simpson is an egotist and I have to admit that I came to this book thinking that he did the crime. The book itself is very strangely written. He spends all First up, fascinating story. He spends all of the book painting himself in a good light, and painting Nicole in a poor, obsessive, drug-addicted light.

It is like he is setting himself up a defence for any resulting actions, or that he never did anything he as accused of. It's simply a book of two halves - he was a nice guy who didn't do it, and then he explains how, even though he was a nice guy, he killed them! It was confusing and odd! Very odd! So, in summary, I still think he did it. And I think this book is filled of rumblings of someone who got away with murder.

Only someone who brutally murdered two people and got away with it would have the arrogance to write a book detailing how he did it. The book is comprised of only eight chapters, sandwiched between a lengthy introduction by the Goldman family, followed by a preface by O. The first five chapters are delusional and self-serving, with O. But because she was the mother of his children, and because he's such a good guy, even after she asked for the separation and the divorce, he continued to be the bigger man; the positive, supportive influence in her life, always remaining the steady voice of reason, regardless of how abusive or irrational she became.

Chapter Six is his thinly veiled "hypothetical" confession, described in revealing detail, the night the murders took place, and it's just plain eerie. Chapter Seven includes the interrogation, which doesn't fully make sense, and raises some flags; and in Chapter Eight, O.

It's hard to rate this book, which is part fact, largely fiction. The fictional chapters were difficult to stomach in far different ways than Chapter Six. The section written by his ghost writer Pablo Fenjves is quite insightful, and he does a great job of capturing the author's narcissistic "voice" throughout.

And if you're having difficulty understanding why the Goldmans moved forward with publishing this book after publicly trying to derail it, read their introduction.

Regardless of what you thought at the time, it cannot be denied that there is no way O. Feb 15, Laris rated it did not like it. Aug 10, Jay Sandover rated it did not like it. He did it. Jul 15, Jackie rated it really liked it. The book was scrapped for publishing as the Goldman's faught for the rights to O. They won. There is a foreword from Mr.

Goldman, Ron's dad and also from the "ghost writer". There is an afterword from Mr. Dominick Dunne who himself mourned his daughter's murder at the hand's of her boyfriend. This book confirms that O. Simpson is a narcissistic sociopath. Most of the book is simply OJ explaining how he was the perfect husband and father who was married to a controlling abusive woman. As he described their crumbling marriage he began to lay the blame for the failing marriage more directly at the feet of Nicole.

To me, this was very much a confession. He describes the way he felt after killing the two people. He describes the anger that only the killer would feel. And the way he phrases the description of the feelings is what one would think a killer of his personality type would feel. I don't think Simpson could have made up those feelings. I don't think he has that capability. He is not that creative. He is not a mental giant. He is a physical person, not a mental person. Why did he write this book?

He saw what happened. And here is how In what amounts in almost anyone's book as a confession, Simpson writes: "Then something went horribly wrong, and I know what happened, but I can't tell you how. I remember I grabbed the knife. Simpson describes himself as soaked in blood and holding a bloody knife, with Goldman and Nicole dead in front of him.

He strips to his socks before re-entering his Bronco. What happened to the rest of the bloody clothes remains a mystery; Simpson's bloody socks were discovered in the bedroom of his home on Rockingham. Seeing the limo parked in front of his house, Simpson enters the estate along a darkened pathway, banging loudly into an air conditioner for Kaelin's bedroom as he attempts to do so. In Simpson's story, he places a second man, a friend named "Charlie," with him at the time of the murders.

Charlie, Simpson reports, attempts to stop Simpson from doing what he's doing--committing murder, presumably. Source: Newsweek , Jan. He attempts to go to Nicole's house and then her grave, but cops are at both. At this point, he is being described as a fugitive.

Simpson says he was thinking of killing himself before hearing Dan Rather on the radio and getting angry, which prompts him to tell Cowlings to take him home. This results in the aforementioned chase. The book ends before the trial begins. For you. World globe An icon of the world globe, indicating different international options.
