Lynch's Life

Another Glass Of OJ? No Thanks!

OK, so I'm sure you've heard about the new book that OJ Simpson is releasing entitled "If I Did It."  In the book, he supposedly hypothetically describes how the murders of his wife, Nicole Brown-Simpson, and Ron Goldman would have been committed.

Then, I hear that a TV interview with him is going to be airing later this month.  In the interview, OJ supposedly tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crime - even though he has denied being involved in the murders.

So, I'm not going to go into if I think he is guilty or not here.  He was found not guilty, and that's what I will honor and respect.  However, does anyone have a problem with him writing a book and granting this TV interview?   And, especially considering the expected content contained in each of them?

I just dont understand it.  How is this even acceptable in his mind?  This doesnt seem like the way of clearing your name for once and for all, does it?

And, more importantly, he owes money for the wrongful-death suits of Brown and Goldman.  Why do I think that no money from this book/TV deal will go to the families?

What are your thoughts?

After the trial, I thought OJ pledged to find the real killer(s)?  I guess he'll keep searching the golf courses and nightclubs until he's successful.  Somehow, I think any money earned from the book/interview will NOT go to the victims' funds.  I don't believe cash or any other assets can be touched if you're in Florida.  There's something about the Sunshine State that lures people to set up accounts in that state...

This is a stunning display of criminal arrogance by a killer, and a disgusting ploy for ratings by the pseudo-network Fox.  I hope the victims' families can seize any proceeds which OJ may receive if California has a Son-of-Sam law or other legal means of redress.  Viewers of the program are complicit in supporting this nonsense by OJ and Fox, and should boycott the network and advertisers on the program.

"Not Guilty" doesn't mean innocent.

You might find this article fascinating... just as I did.
