Fox plans to broadcast an interview with O.J. Simpson in which the former football star discusses "how he would have committed" the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, for which he was acquitted, the network said.
The two-part interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29, the TV network said.
Simpson has agreed to an "unrestricted" interview with book publisher Judith Regan, Fox said.
"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."
The interview will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It," goes on sale Nov. 30. The book, published by Regan, "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed."
In a video clip on the network's Web site, an off-screen interviewer says to Simpson, "You wrote 'I have never seen so much blood in my life.'"
"I don't think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood," Simpson responds.
Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was acquitted in a criminal trial of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in 1997 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.
Messages left with Simpson and his attorney Yale Galanter were not immediately returned.
Sick, sick, sick
OJ is desperate for money.
NO "If I did it" - YOU DID IT, YOU SOB!
No thanks.
Sleazy, slimy slug.
And Judith Regan ... unbelievable .. trafficking in such filth. Fred Goldman must be going crazy ..and who could blame him?
Wants to gloat about how he got away with it. Unbelievable.
This "man" sickens me!! I will only sit through as much of his nonsensical jabberings as I can stand. But thanks for the heads up!
Nancee
Fox can save some postage and forward the check for this monstrosity directly to the Goldman and Brown families in partial payment of their civil judgment.
Yeah OJ, and Ted Bundy "consulted" on how those girls in Washington went missing. You can thank the botched job the prosecutors and judge did in your case for the fact that you're not sharing Bundy's fate.
Colonel Mustard in the driveway with a knife?
After searching every golf course in the country, I can't believe OJ has not found the real killer yet.
What passes for journalism these days, makes the carnival look like a reliable source of credible information. The Schlocks News Channel is on the downward spiral.
Let's play "Double Jeopardy!" You bet your life!
No Thank You
"Messages left with Simpson and his attorney Yale Galanter were not immediately returned"
They would be if they offered this creep $50 to call them.
Simpson: "I want justice!"
Cochran: "How much justice can you afford?"
He had enough to afford a stacked jury and walked...now he is selling his rotten soul to the devil...the MSM.
To quote Nancy Reagan, "Just say no...", Fox.
There is no justification for putting this on the air.
O. J. is druming up book sales. And Fox is going to facilitate that? No, they should take a pass on this.
I sure will.
Situations like this make me deeply ashamed of our legal system. This man will get everything he richly deserves some day, but there's no justice in that. I hope his book bombs.
