OJ CONFESSES IN TELL-ALL BOOK
National Enquirer ^ | 10/20/2006 | CAWats

OJ CONFESSES IN TELL-ALL BOOK

O.J. Simpson confesses to the bloody slaughter of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her pal Ron Goldman – and reveals he had an accomplice at the scene--in a bombshell new book!

Eleven years after Simpson was acquitted of the Murder of the Century, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that O.J. is being paid $3.5 million to describe the brutal knife attack blow-by-blow.

“Only that kind of money could have tempted O.J. to finally tell the truth,” a West Coast source familiar with the top-secret book project told The ENQUIRER.

In the book, “he describes how he grabbed a knife from a man who accompanied him to Nicole’s home -- and moments later found himself covered in blood and looking down on the bodies of Nicole and Ron,” said the source.

With its publication only weeks away, the tell-all blockbuster has remained the most explosive secret in publishing—until now.

In its early chapters, O.J. paints a vivid picture of his life with Nicole and details their bitter divorce amid her affairs.

Finally, the disgraced Hall of Famer gets to June 12, 1994 – the night of the infamous double murder.

“O.J. prefaces these key pages by almost half-heartedly claiming this part of the book is hypothetical,” said the source. “But I don’t think anyone is going to be convinced of that.”

Because of “double jeopardy” laws, legal experts say O.J.’s confession will not likely lead to any legal trouble for him.

The book’s working title is “If I Did It.” But Simpson’s account of the slayings is so chillingly realistic that it leaves no doubt it is a confession of what really happened.

I always thought he either had help, or hired someone to do it. Interesting.

He's probably going to implicate George W. Bush. It's all in the timing, you know.

I don't believe this. Has the civil judgment been satisfied completely? If not, couldn't the plaintiffs in the civil case attach this payment to Simpson?

This makes no sense. OJ woould never see this money due to "son of sam" laws.

Another hypothesis is he killed them but in what amounts to self defense.

Goes to the house. Wife comes out with a knife. She stabs him in the hand (remember the cut he said he got from crushing a glass). He picks her up and pushes her against the wall brutally. She passes out and slumps to the ground.

Ron Goldman arrives at the house with Nicole's lost glasses just as OJ tosses her. He runs to her assistance by jumping on OJ's back, but OJ's a big guy and grabs Goldman and lifts him into the air and slams him to the ground. Goldman goes unconscious.

OJ calls his lawyer who tells him to make it look like a narcotrafficante killing ~ tells him to slit throats and pull out tongues like a tie.

OJ dutifully does this.

On the other hand, Nicole and Goldman were only unconscious, not dead.

The Prosecution had all the evidence they needed to get a second-degree murder on the basis of that hypothesis ~ just needed to know who the lawyer was and it was all over.

Couldn't identify the lawyer so they went for first, and lost.

IMO, the word "confesses" in the title should include "".

Aren't they setting themselves up for a lawsuit?

He did it. I don't believe its hypothetical. That being said, I am surprised. Murderers usually deny to their dying day they committed the dastardly deed. I guess when there's money involved, sealed lips open up fast.

Nope. Trial's over. He can't be tried again. Civil suit's already been brought. He owes the Brown's & the Goldman's for that, but lawsuit days are pretty much over & done.

O.J. Simpson: Okay, well, let's go the telestrater now. Here's a play that your offense has been going over a lot this year. -- your tight end has been running a curl pattern -- -- Now, when Kelly fakes play action, the defense is frozen.. -- allowing you a Wide open to be open on the other side -- -- opening a hole in the middle.. -- and a seam on the left --

It's not a Tell All confession. It's just a hypothetical account that he's being paid big bucks to write.

Simpson can never be retried for the murders because of double jeopardy laws, according to the Enquirer, which also claims that Simpson aims to keep any book money instead of paying it out in a civil suit judgment against him by spending it all quickly.

How ridiculous. I mean how much ripple can he buy? Perhaps plaintiffs are seeking an order attaching the money now, so that any spending of it would be a contempt of court or something.

I believe he's sadly mistaken on keeping the book money. He has civil suits to pay off. The money off this will go far in doing that. I think the only thing they can't touch is the football pension. Everything else is up for grabs. And I hope they do.

This is the same man who butchered their mother & left her nearly decapitated in a river of her own blood for them to potentially find themselves. They easily could have gotten up in the middle of the night & stepped outside to that gruesomeness. OJ's never given flip about anybody except himself.

Did you ever wonder just what O.J. is living on all these years?

He declared himself broke and a personality like his goes through a lot of money quickly.

In 2004 The Enquirer reported that President Bush--who has practiced total abstinence from alcohol for several years--was drunk again due to stress from the Iraqi conflict. It quoted unnamed "insiders" as sources.

OJ's legal jeopardy ended with his aquittal. He can never be tried for the murders again because it would be double jeopardy.

Federal hate crime laws could get him the way it did the Rodney King cops, right?

He could also be subject to federal prosecution for violating the victims' civil rights. This law was used decades ago in the Jim Crow South to prosecute white defendants who were acquitted--usually by all-white juries--of murdering black people. It was also used in Chicago a few years ago, I believe, against policemen who brutalized someone in their custody.

This has always struck me as a bit too close, in principle, to double jeopardy--even if it doesn't quite meet the legal definition of it. Bur OJ seems to be going out of his way to taunt others with his Get Out Of Jail Free card. So if anyone ever deserved to be prosecutrd this way, he is the perfect candidate for it.

Even so, don't hold your breath...

It is my understanding that the US Supreme Court has declared the "Son of Sam" laws unconstitutional.

Please note that I am NOT an attorney, or an expert on this matter. If someone else is a bit more certain about this matter, I will gladly defer to him (or her).

I am almost certain that Florida does not allow for the garnishment of anyone's wages or salary, regardless of the circumstances of the case. (If that is correct, it no doubt explains why OJ left California in favor of the Sunshine State.)

In any case, I don't know if it would be legally possible to attach the proceeds from OJ's book, as long as he resides in Florida. Someone from Florida--and with a bit of legal knowledge--could answer that one much better than I could.

That hypothesis has all the evidence needed for a conviction. The hypothesis used by the prosecution ended up relying on questionable evidence and failed.

I think the question here is do you want a murderer in jail, even if on a lesser charge, or wandering about loose in public because you over=reached.

You have your choice. I have mine. Best these guys go to jail, or maybe we could bring back hanging for second-degree.
