• A blackout? I read all that shitty writing just to find out he had a blackout?!? Kee-rist... That whole chapter can be boiled down to "I felt the knife in my hand, and she laughed no more." Why, oh why, O-o J?
• I also thought there'd at least be a pretense about it. "Once upon a time, there was a man named Bo Jay. He married a lady called Micole..."
• Man, what a lousy writer.
• I refuse to acknowledge that the idiot is living in the same universe.... I won't click the link.
• Doesn't a confession invalidate double jeopardy?
• Hey, HuronBob! Nice universe here, eh? I'm in agreement. Let's not pollute it.
• A confession does not invalidate double jeopardy. In fact, there is no piece of evidence that can overcome double jeopardy. If the case had been dismissed or if the Grand Jury had failed to indict him, then he could be re-charged with the new evidence. But it is all over now. He could release a home movie of the killing and he would still be okay.
• But he'd better be EXTRA careful on his tax forms. Besides, this isn't a confession. It clearly says "IF I Did It". He's engaging in speculative fiction, obviously.
• I don't know, there's a lot of revelation here. Nicole must have been crazy, charging a nice guy like O.J. with abuse, then divorcing him. I know he didn't do it (he'd moved on, of course, and at the time of the murders was dating a woman "who looked a lot like Julia Roberts, only prettier"), but if he did who could blame him? I mean, after they had their first kid, she didn't want to go out on the town as much any more! And then, one time, she got mad because he didn't get her diamond earrings! He was obviously joking that time he smashed her car with a baseball bat! I mean, she was erratic, and moody. She knew people who liked to party. O.J. obviously didn't do it; he wasn't obsessed with Nicole, or anything; on the night in question, after all, he even called a Raiders cheerleader he knew who resembled that month's Playboy centerfold, to tell her he was a free man! He was just trying to scare her straight! He didn't do it, but certainly she deserved to die! There, now you don't need to read it.
• The subtitle should be Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink, Say No More.
• He could release a home movie of the killing and he would still be okay. I doubt he would be OK in the eyes of vigilantes if such a home movie were released. Perhaps the DOS could slap the "enemy non-combatant" label on him, and off to Gitmo he goes! You know, in the interest of national security, and all... I read through the initial pages, and my gut feeling kept saying, "this guy looks down on women". Big surprise there.
• Not to mention that whole not-talking-to-his-father-for-ten-years thing. As if that's something normal, absent any history of abuse or such.
• no it shouldn't, TUM don't besmirch the Pythons thusly.
• And you guys bitch at me about the Paris Hilton link......
• I feel bad for Ron Goldman (and Nicole, too, obviously). Guy is just minding his own business, dates a divorcee, and the first time he meets the ex, the ex goes on a possessive rampage and kills him and the ex-wife he had the temerity to date. Talk about bad luck...
• If he even was dating her. Even more bad luck if he really was just bringing those sunglasses over.
• I hate the guy for ruining the Naked Gun films for me.
• That's always my first thought, too, Flaggy.
• If I did it I would have taken the change from the save-a-penny jar on the dresser to make it look like a robbery.
• This guy writes even worse than he can act! Remind me never to use his ghost-writer.
• Totally with Flagpole on this one. Too bad there's no way to blur out Nordberg as everything else about the Naked Gun films is pure cinematic genius. Plus, regardless of curiosity, trying to read this thing hurt my brain in multiple ways.
• The only thing that would get me interested in this is if O.J. were to kill Paris Hilton with a poorly fitting glove.
• I think it would be cooler if Paris France killed O.J. by refusing to put it in a glove with champagne.
• Where's Hilton, by the way? My geography is stereotypically American.
• Well, think of it this way: OJ's only role in the Naked Gun movies was to get hurt. Usually in the groin area. Repeatedly. If we have to see him at all, might as well be under those circumstances.
• Geez man, what vitriol. Rich guys get away with murder all the time but this is different....how?
• Because he bragged about it endlessly.
• Goldmans buys rights to O.J. book. So... we have to buy it, now?
• O.J. Simpson blasts Goldman family in online interview
• I'm still trying to get my head around this -- he's mad that they'll publish a book that he himself wrote? Why? Because he's afraid it'll make him look bad? And that's a great bit of logic about the blood money. The Goldmans won't take blood money, but they'll take this, so it's not blood money, therefore he didn't kill them. *braincramp* Wow. Mister Klassy, all the way. Shouldn't he still be out on the links, looking for the real killers? How's that going, btw?
• Here's some good news, O.J.
