O.J. Does It -- Book to Be Released

O.J. SimpsonNow the world can finally find out how O.J. Simpson "did it."

The controversial O.J. book, "If I Did It," will be repackaged and published, a New York literary agent announced today. In a statement, a rep for the agent proclaimed, "The family and publisher have pledged to leave Simpson's manuscript entirely intact, but they will also add key commentary." And by "commentary" one can only assume they mean scribbling the word "murderer" over every picture of O.J.

Plans to publish the book -- and an accompanying TV special -- were scrapped last year after great public outcry. Last month, a federal judge granted the rights to the book to the family of Ron Goldman as part of the $33.5 million in damages Simpson owes them. Portions of the proceeds will go to the Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice -- none will go for steak dinners.

151. I will never buy or read this book. I would never buy it if OJ published it and I will never buy it from Goldman. This is blood money either way. All these years, Goldman is crying for the money. Like this blood money will bring back his son and closure? This Goldman guy has a strange way of mourning for his son.

152. egriffin, there was plenty of evidence, the morons on this jury chose to ignore it. he should have been tried in the county the crime was commited in. instead of orange county they moved to l.a. if this case was tried in the right county and not televised he would have been found guilty.

153. The courts should be garnishing every penny that OJ gets until his debt is paid off. If he ends up as a bum on the streets begging for food and shelter. oh well, it is better than what his victims got, and he deserves much worse.

154. I hope that people do not purchase this book. Not only did he get away with murder, now he's trying to profit off of it! This guy is sick and twisted.... he should have shot himself in the back of the Bronco. Then we all would be able to live our lives without seeing his face.

155. Lets get the facts straight....O.J. Simpson is not the one getting this book published, there was enough public out cry several months ago that the book was pulled. Now it is being published by the Goldman Family!!!! How is this right. Bad publishing if done for O.J., but good publishing if done for the Goldmans?? This Publishing House should be ashamed. This book should never be published at all for anyone. The Goldman Family have not figured out yet that nothing no matter what will bring Ron back. But that is not what they are intersted in, they are only interested in money. Regardless where it comes from......can we say BLOOD MONEY!!!!! YOUR SONS BLOOD!!!!! How can they show there face in public?

159. Damn...why don't you folk just let it go! Still mad at O.J. ten years later...as if that is the only injustice that has happened in the past 10 years. And what about goldman first if OJ made money (which he was not it was set up to go his kids) it was blood money and he wanted the book destoryed and the publisher was damed to hell as well as fox for even saying they where going to do the interview with OJ all this and now it is good for his family to get the money from a source that was so fowl and that was an out rage. And for the record OJ's NOT PUTTING OUT THE BOOK FRED GOLDMAN IS!!!!!!!!!!! BITCHES!!!

160. I never knew much about O.J. but I watched the trial and came to the conclusion that I could not have found him guilty of these crimes if I were on that jury. I do not think that he is guilty!!! Not enough time, too little evidence (evidence that could have been planted). In my opinion he is an innocent man who's life has been ruined by the media and public opinion. He is trying to make the best of what is left of his life. Fred Goldman was just a nobody who has reached fame and fortune - thanks to O.J.. He was not some great father and had no contact with Ron for a very long time before he was killed. He makes me sick when he refers to O. J. as "The Killer". He really has no idea who killed his son. nor does he care (my opinion). O.J. is a famous personality so that puts Goldman in the media spotlight, getting paid for each one no doubt. Now because of this book he will be a very wealthy man indeed.

161. I am in agreement with Shuffle_Demon on this one.......I wouldn't pay a dime for this book before the Goldman's won the right to it, nor will I pay a dime for it now. Who in the HELL would want to read how he killed the mother of his children and an innocent bystander. And nowhere have I heard that the Brown family would receive any of the profits. Hooray for the Brown family for moving on......Though my heart has always gone out to the Brown's as well as the Goldman's - I don't think this book should EVER see the light of day!!!

162. To Sara Miller, I had sympathy for the Goldman's until I found out they are the ones that are now putting this book out after blocking O.J. from having it published!

I am sorry but this book should never see the light of day from anyone. I think O.J. is a killer but I also frown on how hypocritical the Goldman family (specifically Fred Goldman) is being in this situation. They decried the book months ago calling it "blood money" but now they are profiting from it! Not that the Browns are saints but at least they haven't touched this and they are at least moving on with their lives. Words is now there is bad blood between them because they (the Browns) think that the book shouldn't be released at all by anyone!

165. 16. Burn in hell MURDERER>>>>>>>!!!! one of the saddest things that happened after the murder was the placement of Nicoles children with their murderous Dad (if you can call someone dad who just killed MOM!) OJ.... Someday OJ. god will be the final judge and with him there are no lies...If your kids are reading this i implore them to run as fast as they can to the family of Nicole, they will shield you from this beast u think is a Dad, he is not worth ever looking back on, go on with your lives, and RUN LIKE HELL>>>>>>>>we all pray for you, there is a life after this I encourage you both to find it..............
