In 1994, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were brutally murdered at her home in Brentwood, California. O.J. Simpson was tried for the crime in a case that captured the attention of the American people, but he was ultimately found not guilty of criminal charges. The victims' families brought civil cases against Simpson, in which he was found liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole by committing battery with malice and oppression.
In 2006, HarperCollins announced the publication for a book in which O.J. Simpson told how he hypothetically would have committed the murders. In response to public outrage that Simpson stood to profit from these crimes, HarperCollins canceled the book. A Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the Goldmans in August 2007 to partially satisfy the unpaid civil judgment, which has risen, with interest, to over $38 million.
The Goldman family views this book as his confession and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn the truth. This is the original manuscript approved by O. J. Simpson, with additional insight from the Goldman family, Pablo F. Fenjves, and Dominick Dunne.

"OMGosh I just finished this book and anyone who was remotely interested in this case or is stupid and believes the OJ or as he shall be further called by me, the killer, is not guilty, well here's his confession. We all knew it then but this book has his confession. When you read this you will see what I mean. Just the fact that he mentions that Ron Goldman went into a karate stance tells me it's true! In the whole book the killer never does or never has done anything wrong. It was all Nicole and so therefore it was her fault she got killed. I am so glad he is in prison now even if it's not for his worst crime."

“G. Valmont Thomas eerily embraces Simpson’s sound and speech patterns, making the audiobook more disturbing than the book. Hearing Simpson’s words at his most enraged, listeners will be impressed and possibly frightened with how well Thomas delivers this first-person narrative.”
— Publishers Weekly" Very informative book on the OJ's struggles with Nicole. Interesting to see what lead him to his actions. "
— Joshua, 2/19/2014" This could not have made my point any clearer..... aOJ Simpson is a greedy killer. He did this book for fame and fortune. Proving its all about the money and just how fucked up the court system has become. "
— Heather, 2/14/2014" This book was diffrent from all the other books i have read.This is like a real crime of those that that think they are bad.But do things and a mit to it becauase its better to tell the truth than telling a lie.At the same time thought it was cute but then thought about. "
— Dora, 2/11/2014" Go right out and get this book because you will be donating to very good causes (battered women's programs) led by the Goldman family. You also won't believe what OJ's ghost writer tells him to his face. You'll get more insight into the Hollywood celebrity lifestyle than you may want, but you'll end up with a much broader perspective of "why he did it", not "if, I did it". Insightful and chilling. I'm glad the Goldmans wrestled with agony of publishing this book. "
— Allen, 2/5/2014" I have to give it three stars because three stars means I liked it. Why did I like it. Because everybody knows O.J. did it and he admits it. He also gives the Ockham's razor's version of how the murders were committed. What do you know. "
— Cordell, 1/29/2014" Wow, this took me back. An interesting read at very least... Go Goldmans! "
— Jannet, 1/24/2014" I thought it was a fantastic book! I couldn't put it down. Not saying that I agree with O.J., because I 100% think he did kill her and he pretty much confesses within the book. But I was a good read! "
— Caroline, 1/18/2014" This book was OK. It was rather eery when OJ started describing the night Nicole and Ron died. We all know he did it, right? "
— Michal, 1/11/2014" Well he obviously did it but it didn't give any information that we didn't already know. "
— Kara, 12/11/2013" Can you say guilty psycho? "
— Rebecca, 11/23/2013" If you want to hear OJ talk about what a reasonable and giving husband he was for 200 pages this is the book for you! "
