Sorry, OJ.

Fox will run an interview in which OJ will discuss "how he would have committed" the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Just a hunch, but I think that this would include "stabbing them repeatedly." Because, you know, that's how he did it in the non-hypothetical world.

Anyway, here's how The Spectre handled this case, twelve years ago:

"And then in the court, I'd be sure to not try too hard to put the glove on, and show off how it doesn't fit, even though it's a leather glove so it stretches and my lawyer would be smart and have me wear another glove to make it easier.

"I mean, uh.."


Jesus. Why doesn't he just say "yeah, I fucked killed her, and I got away with it. What you gonna do?"

[yendi]

Well, that's pretty much the gist of it, as far as I'm concerned.

You know one of these days he's going to find the real killer - he's been checking every golf hole on every golf course for YEARS now.

That'll be the day he buys a mirror.

I like the way they've whitened up "B.J."

I figure that changing the skin color, dropping the sports reference, and exchanging a gun for a knife ensured that the lawyers would be happy.

This is appalling. I guess the law about not profiting from crimes doesn't apply to civil cases.

You know, if his children snapped and killed him upon the release of this book, I bet not a jury in the world would convict them. It would be...poetic.

[yendi]

Well, the law doesn't apply because he's a murderer, but not a convicted murderer. Frustrating as it might be, due process does exist for a reason.

He does owe the victims' estates several million, so any income over his (sadly substantial) pension goes to them.

Incredible that someone who proclaims he's innocent would even consider this one. Even on a 'Well, I'd have paid someone to have them kidnapped and shot, so obviously it wasn't me who cut them up, honest' level.

Right after the trial, OJ gave an interview on BBC Radio that had a reply that began (and I shit you not)...

I did not kill Nicole or Ron, but if I *had*, it would have been because...

[hookncrook.livejournal.com]

Can I be aweful and ask what 'supposed' reasons he listed?

[darth-spacey.livejournal.com]

I only wish I could remember. It was literally right at the end of the trial. I just remember the utter wrongness of that part of his answer, and the utter willingness of the interviewer to let it slide and move on to the next question.

I suppose it's one of those things that I *thought* I'd find automatically and permanently memorable, and that I therefore didn't bother to memorize.

I read in "Bitch" that Nicole's family all knew he committed the murder when they found out she had been slashed across the breasts--even the pathologist said it was a weird wound to make on her.
