"If I Read It:" Review of OJ Simpson's Confessions of a Killer

Now that the Goldmans have seized the manuscript in satisfaction of a lawsuit against Simpson's various attempts to dodge paying them what he owes them, they've renamed it Confessions of a Killer and will publish it-- and take most of whatever money it makes. (I assume the rest will go to the publisher and not to Simpson.)

Well played, Fred Goldman. Well played.

If you're interested in the contents, this Radar writer gives most of the good stuff away.

Here's the point in this hypothetical maybe-book where O.J. would probably like the record to reflect that Nicole was the one begging him to stay and not the other way around. He was leaving her, he'd say in an exchange that might go:

"'Are you saying this isn't working?" (Nicole would ask.)

"Christ! What was I supposed to say to that? Wasn't it obvious? 'Well,' I said. 'I'm not feeling all that optimistic. And if you honestly feel it's working, then something is really wrong with this picture.'

"I guess I was trying to be honest, and maybe I was a little too blunt about it, but maybe she needed that bluntness to get her mind around the situation."

The Juice would be the one doing the breaking up. Everyone clear on that point? Good.

There's something particularly pathetic about that, don't you think? The guy murdered her and yet is still playing the eighth grade game of "I was the one who wanted to break up, seriously!"
