If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer

If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer

I read this book and I couldn't believe how good it was. It simply, in my opinion, is OJ admitting that he did in fact commit this crime, and also HOW he committed it, down to the tiniest detail. There's no 2 ways of seeing it, in my eyes. I always knew, like the rest of the world, that he was guilty as hell, and now I know it and it's because of his own admission in a twisted, scared to come right-out and say-it, kind of way! This author did a good job interviewing Simpson, and getting him to basically admit what he did that night in Brentwood. I am very glad that the Goldman family took over this project like they did, however they had to come about it; they deserve owning title to this book, as maybe they will recap some of their legal loss. The Brown family chose not to partake; to each their own. I'm just glad OJ doesn't own rites to this book! How dare he make a dime off of Nicole and Ron's deaths. This is another excellent True Crime book that goes in my library! And of course, NOW - since OJ screwed up again - in Vegas this time, not Cali, he is certainly where he belongs, but it sure took long enough!!! I say karma is alive and well.

If I ever had any doubts about whether OJ was guilty or not, I sure don't have any now. There is NO question that this guy murdered those two innocent people. I am not an avid book reader, but I honestly could not put this book down. The Goldmans should be commended for not giving up in their pursuit of OJ and justice for Ron. At the time of the murders, I had a son the same age as Ron Goldman and who was also a waiter. I often thought, what if my son was doing a customer a favor and ended up dead by the hands of a jealous husband. I don't know if my grief would let me be as relentless as the Goldmans in seeking justice. I'm so glad that by purchasing this book, the money is going to the Goldman Family and the Ron Goldman Foundation.

My heart goes out the Goldman family. The Goldman's prelude to the book helped me to understand what they had been going through. Their story should have been more publicized. Ron was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I have read several books by different people, from Faye Resnick to Mark Furman. Nicole was no saint but she did not deserve to die so brutally. After reading what O. J. Simpson wrote, it confirmed what I had thought all along. He is a Narcissist and a Sociopath and he is guilty of this horrible double homicide. It is a shame that he got away with this.

The beginning is full of the Goldman family trying to make you see their side of why the book was printed. Although I can see where they are coming from it was repetative and really did not need to be so long. It made for a slow start to the book. The ghostwriters comments were a plus to the book as they gave some insight into how OJ really was. The actual book itself (the "hypothetical" story told by O.J.) was amazing. There is no doubt that this book really is a "confession." It's sad to know that our justice system is so flawed.

This is a "novel" supposedly written by OJ about how he "would have" killed Nicole "if" he had done it, of course. If he's innocent, he's at best out of his mind for even writing such a book (or having it written for him, which is more likely). If he "did" do it, as 99% of unbiased minds believe, then he's basically spitting in the face of Nicole's corpse by writing such a book as this.

The book itself was fairly well-written and I admit it held my interest and kept me turning the pages. But it also gave me some very uncomfortable moments.

Any way you cut it, he's a lunatic or sicko, or both.
