The year 1994 will strike a cord in many Americans who remember the brutal murders of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. Ex-husband Orenthal James Simpson (better known as O.J Simpson) was made a suspect and taken in for interrogation for the murders. Later he walked a free man.

The Goldman family were upset, furious and outraged. How could a man like this, who quite clearly was the murderer, be allowed to walk free? Ron was in the prime of his life, he was about to launch his own business. He and Nicole didn’t deserve this. There was surely no God in this world if He could allow this awful tragedy to happen. The law was a joke.

Then HarperCollins announced O.J’s confession, If I Did It, was going to be published and it was rumoured O.J was set to make $1 million dollars in advance. The Goldman’s were yet again infuriated that this man, a criminal in their eyes, would actually be paid for this. In a way it was like paying him blood money for the horrible murders he committed.

Eventually the Goldman’s managed to stop the book from going to press and O.J from profiting. However later they could do nothing about it when the publication option was reopened. After a long battle the Goldman’s were compensated when O.J’s book was published. His children also inherited a great deal of the profits.

This is the story of what really happened to Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson told to us by the man himself, O.J. Simpson. As soon as I read the first page, I found it hard to believe that this man committed these brutal murders. A quote reads:

“I know the players. I’ve seen the evidence. I’ve heard the theories. And of course, I’ve read all the stories. That I did it. That I did it but I don’t know I did it. That I can no longer tell fact from fiction. That I wake up in the middle of the night, consumed by guilt, screaming.”

Can these words really be spoken by a man that killed? I find it hard to believe he could have done such a thing, O.J is a man that clearly has feelings who has a heart who is a human. As I read on, it is clear to me that if there were any problems between O.J and his ex wife Nicole Simpson, it was certainly a two-sided thing. O.J explains to us in great detail how many times he would try to leave Nicole but she’d come back begging for him and even on one occasion, rang up the cops and accused him of hurting her.

Could this just be a man framed for something he didn’t do? Or perhaps something he wasn’t even aware of?

He has written the book in a hypothetical way, not willing to let too much slip out. I think the question is “has he done it” and the answer “yes” for if he hadn’t, why would he write this book? This in my opinion is a way of getting rid of some of that guilt that has been eating away at O.J for so long now. I don’t think he meant to kill anyone, people were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I’m sure if the clocks could be turned back, O.J would think twice about what he did. People need to learn to forgive. Everyone makes mistakes but who did actually make this mistake? Read, decide for yourself. A really good book.
