Resumen del Editor

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 he was ultimately found not guilty of criminal charges. The victims' families brought civil cases against Simpson, in which he was found liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole by 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 partially satisfy the unpaid civil judgment, which has risen, with interest, to over $38 million.

The Goldman family views this book as Simpson's confession, and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read or listen to this book and learn the truth. This audiobook was produced from the original manuscript approved by O. J. Simpson, with additional insight from the Goldman Family, Pablo F. Fenjves, and Dominick Dunne.

Can you say narcissistic?

The main thing this book does is show how incredibly narcissistic OJ is. Good on the Goldman family for using his own words to show his true colors.

If you're looking for a description of the murder, he kind of blacks out during that part. It's mainly about how he views his relationship with Nicole.

The freak show continues. . .

In true form to one of the weirdest criminal trials in history, this book is equally as bizarre, unsettling and cryptic. The work is a seething nest of inconsistencies: Simpson's rage, during that infamous moment of passion is fueled by Nicole's flagrant disregard for their children's welfare, (engaging in sexual and illicit activity with the children under the same roof). Yet did he consider leaving her partially decapitated corpse on the front steps responsible? Every chapter, except one, attempts to explain, why O.J is a misunderstood, mercilessly vilified and profoundly innocent man. But the key chapter (and the one reason why anyone would ever read the book) is clearly confessional, even if written in a cliche, 'Film Noire' style, i.e. "my mind went completely blank and only when the fog lifted, did I realize that my hands were covered with blood. . . "

By far the most disturbing aspect of the book is its' outrageous inference that the murders are a mere footnote to a far greater 'crime'. To Simpson, that injustice lies in the fact that we have all been hoodwinked by the lies of the media and the prosecution and blinded to the real reason why he would ever dream of committing such a heinous act. The evidence presenting him as a paranoid psychopath trying to rekindle a dead relationship was maliciously false. In reality it was Nicole who was badgering him. He, on the other hand, was completely over her and trying to move on with his life. Ultimately he was the true victim, trying to escape her and her crazy, obsessive, drug fueled lifestyle (at times Simpson barely conceals his utter contempt for her). While there may well have been some truth to these assertions (we will never know), in the end it really doesn't matter nor does it make the killings any less horrific.

The book offers little if any contribution to literature but hopefully it will be the final nail in the coffin of a subject that should have been long buried.

HE DID IT.!!.KNEW THAT FROM THE TRIAL..

It's sad and disgusting that this guy got away with this horrible crime.Americans blinded by fame,lies,and racism.
His narcissism and ego (and probably has a dark soul ) will catch up to him-perhaps an illness will eat away at him like a cancer-Slow death. 😑
He THINKS that his smooth talk can fool everyone-but not true.ENJOY HELL KILLER.
GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES-RON AND NICOLE ARE IN THE ARMS OF HEAVEN-
😇😇😇

Chilling

It's so clear that he is guilty and for a law student. It just seems to be that anytime he almost seems to be wrongly accused O. j. definitely shows how that could not be true.

No doubt this is his confession!

This book gives a haunting account to this shocking crime and the amount of detail it gives proves to me even more that OJ killed them. The way he portrays Nicole in the year leading up to her murder is sickening and you can just feel the loathe he has for her dripping off of him. He tries all he can to put her into a horrible light which to mean just adds more fuel to the "OJ did it" fire. This being the first big court case I ever remember I was always curious about what really happened and I fully believe this book has solved that riddle for me.

Just buy the book

If you had the interest to look up this book, you’re going to like it.

Interesting, creepy, and accusatory

Fascinating confession, but disturbing in how much it blames the victims and justifies actions.

What a nutbag

What a nutbag. Psycho to the bone and delusional. cringe-worthy extreme. I can't believe he was acquitted

Fascinating!

It’s fascinating, heartbreaking, and maddening. I absorbed it in 3 days. I definitely recommend it to those interested in true crime.

Worth the listen

I’m playing a small violin for OJ. He’s so freaking guilty. Congratulations Goldmans for turning his confession against him.
