Publishing Industry Won’t Let O.J. Simpson Profit From Murder Tales, But His Friends Can

Memorabilia dealer Mike Gilbert claims in his new tell-all book that O.J. Simpson confessed to killing Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman when the ex-footballer was high on the maryjane, sleeping pills, and booze. Gilbert is also taking credit for suggesting O.J. “bloat his hands” so the leather gloves wouldn’t fit, though it’s unclear whether he also intends to take credit from Johnny Cochrane for “If the gloves don’t fit, you must acquit.”

The book, How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse, whose claims Simpson’s camp is refuting, is supposed to hit bookstores today. [AP]

So, let’s get this logic correct: When O.J. wants to write a fictional book confessing his sins, and profit from its sales, the publishing industry launches an uproar about padding the pockets of an alleged killer. But when one of O.J.’s ex-friends, who claims to have helped O.J. get away with murder, wants to do the same thing, major book retailers have no problem carrying it?

that’s right. this dude is actually an unindicted co-conspirator after the fact. just another example of the pathetic police work and inept prosecution in LA where everyone is star-struck and people only cooperate with the police if they can see making a buck. if he were a MENSCH, a human being with a moral sense of right and wrong he would have testified against the juice.

HEY, WHERE’S AL COWLINGS? he’s been invisible ever since the trial and he was with OJ during the famous car chase. that dude is due to resurface and really make some major BANK.

I don’t believe what this guy says for one second. Well even if it’s true, why should he profit for helping a murderer get away. So many people have profited from that murder with their books. I say lets boycott all of them. The authors are just as bad as OJ with his ‘IF I did It’. The only book worth reading on the whole OJ thing is the one by William Dear the private investigator. Now there’s someone not looking for quick cash. The guy has spent the last 13 years investigating the case with his own money and now he’s come up with something worth listening to.

Why doesn’t he go to jail as an accomplice or something? This is a confession right?
