Product Description 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 was ultimately acquitted of criminal charges. The victims' families brought a civil case against Simpson, which found him liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole committing battery with malice and oppression.In 2006, HarperCollins announced the publication of 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 satisfy the civil judgment in part. The Goldman family views the book as his confession, and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn the truth. This is O.J. Simpson's original manuscript, approved by him, with up to 14,000 words of additional key commentary.

He Did It! 24 November, 2008 If I ever had any doubts about whether OJ was guilty or not, I sure don't have any now. There is NO question that this guy murdered those two innocent people. I am not an avid book reader, but I honestly could not put this book down. The Goldmans should be commended for not giving up in their pursuit of OJ and justice for Ron. At the time of the murders, I had a son the same age as Ron Goldman and who was also a waiter. I often thought, what if my son was doing a customer a favor and ended up dead by the hands of a jealous husband. I don't know if my grief would let me be as relentless as the Goldmans in seeking justice. I'm so glad that by purchasing this book, the money is going to the Goldman Family and the Ron Goldman Foundation.

It's All About O.j 29 November, 2008 I, too, have been watching this saga go on for 14 years. I have thought all along that O.J was guilty, and this book just confirms it for me. All through the book, all I read was," I did this because Nicole said this",or "I said this because Nicole did that". The whole book is a portfolio of an abusive man. I am glad that the proceeds of this book go to a charity foundation because I wouldn't want one penny to go to that killer.

If I Did It. 17 November, 2008 My heart goes out the Goldman family. The Goldman's prelude to the book helped me to understand what they had been going through. Their story should have been more publicized. Ron was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I have read several books by different people, from Faye Resnick to Mark Furman. Nicole was no saint but she did not deserve to die so brutally. After reading what O. J. Simpson wrote, it confirmed what I had thought all along. He is a Narcissist and a Sociopath and he is guilty of this horrible double homicide. It is a shame that he got away with this.

Glad They Got The Rights! 29 November, 2008 I think OJ did it, I am glad they perserved, even though they got some bad press.....all of us know he did it, only the jury voted diffrently...Im glad they explained all the legal process, and the judge telling them to print it.
Good Job Goldmans!

I Did It! (not "if I Did It") Such A Page-turner! 27 November, 2008 If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer
I read this book and I couldn't believe how good it was. It simply, in my opinion, is OJ admitting that he did in fact commit this crime, and also HOW he committed it, down to the tiniest detail. There's no 2 ways of seeing it, in my eyes. I always knew, like the rest of the world, that he was guilty as hell, and now I know it and it's because of his own admission in a twisted, scared to come right-out and say-it, kind of way! This author did a good job interviewing Simpson, and getting him to basically admit what he did that night in Brentwood. I am very glad that the Goldman family took over this project like they did, however they had to come about it; they deserve owning title to this book, as maybe they will recap some of their legal loss. The Brown family chose not to partake; to each their own. I'm just glad OJ doesn't own rites to this book! How dare he make a dime off of Nicole and Ron's deaths. This is another excellent True Crime book that goes in my library! And of course, NOW - since OJ screwed up again - in Vegas this time, not Cali, he is certainly where he belongs, but it sure took long enough!!! I say karma is alive and well.
