On the bad taste scale OJ Simpson rates a perfect 10

Konovalov · 11-16-06, 07:43 AM

I viewed this article from my local paper back home: http://www.smh.com.au/news/people/oj...266678010.html

Quote:

In a deal that some media executives called revolting, OJ Simpson plans a book and TV interview to discuss how, hypothetically, he could have killed his ex-wife and her friend - a story his publisher considers "his confession".

And:

Quote:

One expert noted that the justice system's protection against so-called double jeopardy means Simpson's book, explosive as it may be, should not expose him to any new legal danger.

"He can write pretty much whatever he wants," said Laurie Levenson, a Loyola University law school professor and former federal prosecutor who has followed the case closely. "Unless he's confessing to killing somebody else, he can probably do this with impunity."

Really sickening not to mention sad for the victims families.

What on earth does Mr Simpson have in store next?

We should boycott him, his book, whoever prints his book (if possible, if there is an alternative), his TV Interview, whoever advertises during his interview if that money is going to him (again if replaceable) untill these entities apologize, withdraw, express regret, etc.

To me this is a confession indeed, but that means he must pay for his crime. He can't write pretty much whatever he wants. I could write this because I didn't killed anybody. OJ can't. He actually did commit murder.

Ultimately you are talking about News Corp. because the book is being published by Harper Collins and the TV program is to be aired on Fox television, with an interview by celebrity publisher Judith Regan. Let the boycott begin.

I have no interest what so ever.

Must be the worse feeling ever knowing the person who has killed your loved one is walking free. And now hes putting out a book.

He was aquitted, which means he can never be tried for this crime again (double jeapordy). He could write a book and declare he did it, wouldn't make any difference now.

Correct, but the Feds have a great civil rights case to bring against OJ if he ever admitted to the crime. Murder is the ultimate denial of a persons civil rights.

Well I just hope he has nightmares every night. And maybe we'll get lucky and somebody will send him to Hell very soon.

I confess, I, hypothetically speaking, did NOT pretend not to shoot JR. I deny having shot him and if I did, hypothetically speaking, it was just a dream.

Where's my multi-million dollar contracts, interviews and movie deals.

Anyone?

Could he be charged with perjury for lying under oath???

No. OJ never took the stand, was never sworn, and didn't perjure himself.
