If I did it Confessions of the Killer

What's the gift that you were given? I did it it's OJ's book.

OJ's own entrepreneurial ventures continue to raise eyebrows, especially writing a book titled If I Did It.

Why in the world if you are acquitted of a murder, would you write a book, the title of which?

If I had done it, here's the way I would have done it.

That makes absolutely no sense.

Ultimately we were awarded the rights to the book.

By the court.

So our choice was to publish it ourselves.

It read more like a confession than a pretend book.

He put himself at the scene. He put himself covered in blood.

OJ Simpson, shortly after I joined Fox News in 2004, OJ Simpson through HarperCollins, which the Murdoch's also owned...wrote a book with Judith Regan on sort of an offshoot of HarperCollins. And it was called 'If I Did It'.

And it was basically his confession. And it talked about how he did it. If he did it, this is how.

He called Nicole the enemy. He talked about his outreach against her when she would flirt openly with other men in front of their children.

Down to meal with Cato Kaelin, dressed in a dark sweatsuit. He sped over Nicole's condo in Brentwood. He parked in the alley, put on a knit wool cap and gloves, grabbed the knife that he keeps in his Bronco.

According to Simpson, his intent at this point was to scare her, not kill her. Encounters Ron Goldman, sees him arriving at the condo. Simpson goes on to report that he accused Goldman of planning to sleep with Nicole.

He had a book, If I Did It.

OJ Simpson, If I Did It by Sareeti Butler.

But somebody goes a cancer just released a book called if I had done it.

The OJ Simpson story.

He got away with murder. Yes. I understand that. Went on to even write a book called if I did it, didn't read the book.

He did the OJ. It's a great book he wrote about OJ.

I once listened to If I Did It by OJ Simpson. I don't know if anybody else has had the pleasure.

But the audio book begins with an hour preface from Ron Goldman's sister because they took the rights of the book after the civil trial when they won the civil trial because he declared bankruptcy and there was no money to be had.

And so like it's an hour of her crying not only over her dead brother but over the fact that people now like berate them on the street accusing them of trying to capitalize off of their dead sibling's name.

And so like that's the level of money I feel like these Sandy Hook families are going to get is just like cartoonish.

And so they got a black dude, an older black gentleman to do OJ voice. And it is the funniest choice they could have made despite because it is an hour of the sister crying.

That's why that book's coming out by cancer called "If I Did It".

they won the rights to Simpson's book that he had written and that he said he had nothing to do with.

It was as close as you can get to a confession without being a confession and he says well that was a ghost ride or I had nothing to do with it and they retitled the book, I did it, Confessions of a Killer.

Yeah if I did it I think was you know but he you know it basically laid out how he did it.

So the dog's crazy barking is what set the timeline and would he have enough time to do that crime based on the dog barking? Get to his house on Rocky hand, get changes closed, jump over the fence, get into the room, changes clothes and get to the limo, which the limo said he was late.

And basically the books was him saying, if I did it, this is how I would do it.

And it was like this create this like fantasy weird story where he had this friend, OJ had this friend that was with him and people were like, who's the friend? Is it his older child? What is this?

And most people said, I think it's his alter ego.

And also one thing Kim said in the interview with me so many years ago is they went on Oprah, uh, she and her dad and talked about all of this. And it was like that night or the next day that OJ went and broke into the hotel room and held the guy hostage to get his memorabilia back.

And what was interesting about Faye Resnick's book, and I've said this after 20 years later, when you read it, there was another documentary that ESPN did, 30 for 30, that was truly, if you go back to Faye Resnick's book, everything she fucking said was true.

I remember being at like Barnes and Noble and picking it up and like didn't buy it, so don't worry, I didn't buy it, but I did look through it, and I was going, this is so weird, who writes this book?

The premise of the book was it was from OJ saying I didn't do it, but if I did it, this is this fantasy of a story that may have happened.

He was the most bizarre thing with a knife in his hand covered in blood, so I'm confused.

And then he realized what he was dealing with, and so but we ended up, was he just, was that like, so was that just terrifying for him to be like in a hotel room with him or wherever they met so that he could like get the story down like yeah.

This is kind of like OJ Simpson writing his book, If I Did It.

It's kind of like OJ's book, if I had done it and that's his defense.

Before his death, Simpson paid just $133,000 on the $33.5 million he owed the families of Ron and Nicole. While Simpson was forced to auction his Heisman Trophy for about $250,000 and turn over the rights to video game royalties and the unpublished book, If I Did It, the former Hall of Famer skirted payments by moving out to Nevada and Florida.
