How I Helped O. J. Get Away with Murder

The Shocking Inside Story

De: Mike Gilbert

Narrado por: Mel Foster

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.

Good follow up to If I did it.

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.

Author Should Be Ashamed

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

Excellent!

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.

OJ's Inner Circle

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.

outstanding

anyone interested in OJ's trial, and acquittal, has got to read this book. this is most certainly a must read. had my full attention thru the entire book. a very good narrator.
