The shocking tale told in How I Helped O. J. Get Away with Murder is unlike anything you've read before. It isn't Mike Gilbert's "version" of what happened'; it's the unvarnished truth - the truth about O. J., the murders, and the infamous trial, not as Gilbert imagined or would like it to be, but how it actually was. Gilbert doesn't spare anyone, not even himself - he helped deceive the jury and feels deeply responsible for the "Not Guilty" verdict.

So why is Gilbert speaking out now? Has he gone from sinner to saint? Is he making a play for sympathy or looking to make a quick buck? No. (Proceeds from this book are going to the March of Dimes and other selected charities.) Gilbert has written this book because he regrets what he did for his adored childhood idol. He can no longer find any excuse for how he has shielded O. J. Simpson, and he is determined to tell the full truth, including:

  • O. J.'s late-night confession to Gilbert
  • How Gilbert was responsible for O. J.'s hand not fitting the murder glove
  • Why O. J. murdered Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman (it was more than jealousy)
  • Why Gilbert defended O. J. for so long - and what finally convinced him he could do so no longer
  • How O. J. ignored his financial obligations to the Goldman family and milked the tabloids for money
  • The real reason why an armed O. J. burst in on the memorabilia collectors in Las Vegas (Gilbert had what O. J. was looking for)

    Told with searing candor, no one comes out of this book with his reputation intact - including Gilbert. He casts a glaring light on how celebrity can corrupt, how power can mislead, and how friendship and loyalty can be perverted. His book is meant to set the record straight, to lay to rest the ghosts of that dreadful night that have haunted him ever since, and to now play what little part he can to forward the process of justice.

    The author should be ashamed of himself. He knew all along that Oj was guilty but made money anyway

    This was my favorite OJ Simpson book out of others that I have read on the subject. I found it very informative. I believe Mike is truly sorry for the people he has hurt.

    Excellent!

    Like I said in the title, this book was a great follow up to If I did it. It fills in a lot of blanks and explains things that are missing in OJs book.

    Good follow up to If I did it.

    Interesting listen if you're interested in the case. Chronicles events through the eyes of OJ's former agent and close friend. The Sleaze is strong with this author--not a character to be admired--but the book seems fairly credible and honest. A good account of the aftermath of the acquittal and how OJ's life fell apart that is extremely self-pitying because the trial cost him his lifestyle. Reminds me of "With Hitler to the End" by Hitler's valet. If you're interested in the Simpson case this will give you unique, obscure details to plug in to the larger story.

    I’ve read several OJ books from different perspectives, and watched many hours of documentaries related to the case. I believe this is a must read for anyone interested in knowing the truth.

    A must read.

    Interesting to know the Brown family sold topless photos of Nicole to make a buck.

    The Browns are shady.

    I know the story so well, as I lived on the west side of Los Angeles when all of this was happening. I can attest to the affect it had on the local community, as I was probably one of two black men in America, who believed he did it. However, my coworkers and neighbors could not “see” my position and after the verdict, some wrote me off entirely and stopped speaking to me. So I picked up this book because I wanted to learn as much detail as I can as to support my position of seeing Simpson as guilty. The author relies on his perspective as being a long time, friend and agent of Simpson, thus he provides gossipy and juicy snippets of everyone that he ever came into contact with. Some parts were riveting, but even the boring parts had enough continuity to carry you over to the other things that you knew were coming. I like historical books or biographies that fill in a lot of blanks, and rely on actual evidence. The only part where this book fell apart, was toward the end when the author created a scenario as to how Nicole was killed: dialogue, movements, etc. I thought that was a waste.

    The moments of contrition by the author is refreshing.

    I listened to this book, but it still leaves a lot of unanswered questions. He said that Oj told him he did it. But I still don’t think Oj did. I believe Oj covered it up for his son. It’s a whole lot of unknowns, but still a good listen if you’re learning about this case.

    I was reluctant to listen to this book because I would hate to profit anyone from this horrible case, but it was a great listen. To hear how those closest to OJ continue to lie and hide assets was mind boggling. This book did reveal things I didnt know about. The only comfort in the end is that OJ found his way into prison where I hope he takes the time to reflect on his actions and changes his ways. We shall see. My thoughts are on OJ's children with Nicole, now they've lost both parents, very sad. Although, based on this book, he didnt have a good relationship with them anyway.

    Wow!
