Ok, we discussed the book, but now
“The two-part television interview, titled “O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened,” will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29 on Fox,”

Man I could ignore the book and just not buy it, simple enough. But for some reason actually see this f(*& idiot talking about it seems to take on a whole new level.
So who is going to watch, but watching just drives up revenue and encourages more of this shit.
Just another troll. I will completely ignore.
I’ll pass.
Even if he admits to the killing, it’s not like I would be surprised.
"So the folks at Fox Broadcasting, class acts that they are, announced Tuesday they have scheduled not one but two one-hour programs for later this month in which O.J. Simpson, class act that he is, will explain how he would have killed ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
You know. If he had killed them. If."

I won’t be watching. I find the OJ situation to be an interesrting study of the criminal justice system gone wrong due to inept prosecutors, but I will not give ratings to anything he does. Homicidal slimeball.
No Art not a troll at all.
I think the guy is Guilty as sin. The book is a big rip off. but for some reason the TV interview appeals to me. Now if they told me all the money he was making for this one was going to the Goldman family I would most definetly watch.
I cant explain why, I guess its kinda of like rubber necking at an accident.
Sorry, OJ is the troll. Not you. He needs to be ignored.
More than enough said.
I will not be watching it. Actually, I might just to find out who the advertisers are for this spot, so that I can write to them to tell them I will not be buying their products.

If you find out, post it here somewhere. I don’t really watch FOX anyway, but Simpson doesn’t deserve to be making money off this story.
The families of the victims should come out with a book/TV show deal too…
“All about how we would kill the man who killed our children. If we were going to kill him, of course.”
And then follow through. I’m pretty sure no one would blame them.
Wonder how that search for the real killer is going. Maybe he thinks he’ll shame that person into coming…
Crap, I can’t even continue writing. I should be dumbfounded by this, but somehow I’m not surprised or shocked at all at what comes out of Orenthal’s brain and mouth.
I vaguely remember a recent thread about whether or not America had a cultural legacy . . hmmm
If you want another study on inept prosecutors, look no further than my hometown and the Mel Ignatow case.
I saw that on Dateline or one of those magazine shows. Unbelievable.
I’d rather watch an interview with Bart or Homer.
When I first moved back to Louisville I went for a run in Seneca Park. Urban Park, 1.2 mile track with alot of longer routes connecting it with another park, Cherokee. Anyway, I was finishing up around the 1.2 track and come upon a man sitting on a park bench. I ran past and then it hit me, that was freaking Mel Ignatow. The rage that came up inside of me was indescribable. I thought to myself, if I went back there and beat him senseless, would any jury convict me? I came to my senses and realized that everyone will get what they deserve one day, in this world or the next, and that it wasn’t for me to mete out justice. But it was hard. Here was a guy who had brutally raped and killed his fiance, photographed the entire thing, and was just sitting on a park bench free as a bird with a smile on his face enjoying a beautiful day.
I don’t know that story, but looked into it a little and now I’m intrigued. this just went on my xmas list (my inlaws buy me about 4 books every xmas) …

As far as the inverse, the person wrongly tried b/c he was hispanic, despite the hidden confession of a caucasian for the same crime, and a massive political scandal that ensued, see below. As a post-script, then-governor Ryan has since been convicted of federal crimes of corruption and is going to prison. Illinois politics, same old same old.

From the Publisher
Perhaps no legal case has done more to reshape America’s debate over the death penalty than Illinois’s prosecution and conviction of Rolando Cruz. This updated and significantly expanded edition of Victims of Justice tells the pivotal story of Cruz and his two co-defendants after the 1983 murder of ten-year-old Jeanine Nicarico of Naperville, Illinois. The book follows the story from the day the crime occurred to the groundbreaking trial of seven law officers accused of conspiring to deny Cruz a fair trial.
The kidnapping of Jeanine Nicarico from her quiet suburban home and her brutal slaying sparked a public demand for justice. But the longer authorities strove to execute Cruz and the two other men, the more evidence emerged that the defendants were innocent-and that the death penalty process in America itself was deeply flawed.
Here is the start of a chain reaction that led to a moratorium on the death penalty in Illinois and the clearing out of Death Row, as Illinois Governor George Ryan worried about unfairness in death penalty convictions-granted clemency to all those awaiting execution. This is a detailed study of a nationally known case that should be cited whenever serious scholars examine how capital cases are prosecuted in America. Here is the most thorough investigation yet published into the background of the man who-after Cruz already was on Death Row-claimed to be the real killer.
Wow, I hadn’t heard of that one.
Way back in the early 80’s, we lived in Macon GA. At the height of the Atlanta Child Murderer firestorm. I remember sitting on our couch in the basement watching TV and seeing the breaking news that Wayne Williams was arrested for those murders. I immediately looked at my father and said, he isn’t the one. Although he got convicted of one or two of the killings (I can’t remember), it was tenuous at best. Read “The List” by Chet Dettlinger. Paints a pretty clear picture that Williams probably wasn’t the guy. Fiber evidence was used to convict, carpet fibers, and they came from carpet that was in about 80% of low income housing and medium level apartments in the city. Plus, these were fibers that were pulled off bodies that had spent days and even weeks in the Chatahoochee River. So, a body in a flowing body of water is supposed to keep fibers on it for days.
This was a case not of an inadequate defense (as I recall he had some high profile attys on the case) but instead a suspect that believed he was smarter than everyone else and didn’t help his case.
Maybe OJ was guilty. I certainly thought so, but the guy was found not guilty in our American court of law.
Is he in the Football Hall of Fame. If not, he deserves it.
Sorry, OJ is the troll. Not you. He needs to be ignored.
I read about this for the first time, today. My first thought was, that apparently he thinks he has so completely gotten away with it that he can pull a stunt like this off.
I don’t see the need to waste two hours watching this, particularly when these type of shows hype and repeat what they are going to tell you for 95% of the broadcast. If anything, only the last five minutes will have anything of significance.
I’ll take five minutes and read the news reports the day after.
I’ll watch just to find out what companies chose to run Ads during this slot…so I can make sure not to support them.
