O.J. Simpson Tells Playboy He's Innocent

POSTED: 9:15 a.m. EDT August 26, 2003

LOS ANGELES -- O.J. Simpson says without the money to pay for a "dream team" of lawyers, he wouldn't have been acquitted of murder charges.

In an interview with Playboy magazine, he reaffirms his innocence, saying he got off because he didn't commit the crime. But Simpson does admit that money was key to his freedom.

He doesn't know if he could have proved his innocence without spending the big bucks.

In the interview, he also revealed that after his acquittal he smoked marijuana to get to sleep. He says when he got out of jail, he appreciated pot more than ever.

It helps him forget the gurgling noises he heard as he chopped off two people’s heads.

Look out!

LOL! Yeah, we don't want our double-murdering kids to take up with mild drug use.

Hobbes? The same one who is advocating the slow roasting of human beings on a different thread? He thinks OJ is innocent?

I seem to recall that in a subsequent civil proceeding, he was declared by a court of law to be "responsible" for the deaths of Nicole and Ron Brown. So his innocence was not "affirmed." Thus, he has nothing to reaffirm.

Well for once I believe that he is being honest, his $$$ did save his butt in the criminal trial.

That happened. The other poster pinged the genius. And I don't extend common courtesy to people who call me Jag-ff on other threads.

Seeing as the interview is in Playboy, is anybody going to actually READ the interview?
