It can’t be just me (at least I hope it isn’t) that is absolutely horrified by this week’s announcements that
- Reagan Publishing is going to publish a book by O.J. Simpson. One where he still swears he "didn’t do it," but details how he would have done it….if he had.
- Fox Broadcasting’s decision to air a two-part interview with O.J. in which he himself will say how he would have done it.
What in the name of all that is holy are these people thinking? You’d think O.J. would have some concern for his children, who should not have to read or hear how their father would have killed their mother "if he had." But in all that has gone before, O.J. has already proven himself an asshole supreme (my apologies to my more delicate readers). I just would have expected more from a publishing company and even from Fox, who doesn’t always have the best judgement. I guess it all comes down to one thing…$$$$$$!
What a sad comentary on the direction our society is headed, but we can redeem ourselves by not buying, borrowing or reading the book and by not tuning in to the interview.
Stacy the only reason I wasn’t blogging about this hideous, despicable, egocentric, wicked, souless bastard is because I can’t think of enough clean words to depict what a piece of crap he is. I’m disgusted with the publisher and he’s so arrogant I could literally punch him in the fact if I ever saw him. I hope the book loses millions. I hope the stupid jerk reveals some clue that was missed in the original investigation that lets the case be reopened and sends this jackass to the gas chamber. But not before he’s someone’s b….

Kat, I think he can’t be tried twice, if double jeopardy applies to his case. I can’t remember if it does or not. If it does, he can announce that he did indeed kill them, and not be charged with the crime. But it would severely cut into his moneymaking potential. I think this is a way to say “yes, he did it” without the repercussions.

I would never buy or read that book. The man is insane and insensative.

I wouldn’t read the book if it was the only book on the planet. Judging from other bloggers, you’re not the only one who is irate. I’m not sure I believe in hell, but I hope he goes there.
By the way, happy anniversary.

I believe you’re right, Janet, about double-jeopardy applying to O.J.’s case. He could thumb his nose at everyone and flat-out confess in all the gory detail and there wouldn’t be a freakin’ thing anyone could do. What a creep (which is a really lame name for the guy, but I’m not getting into the filth he inspires).
