If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer
by OJ Simpson
Get the full story in O.J. Simpson’s own words!
On July 31, 2007 Federal Court Judge A. Jay Cristol awarded
the Goldman family the rights to If I Did It. Thus began
one of the strangest odysseys in publishing history.
The book, called “one of the most chilling things I have ever
read” by Barbara Walters, skyrocketed up bestseller lists across
the country in fall 2007 as the national media relentlessly covered
O.J. Simpson’s dramatic Las Vegas arrest for armed robbery and
kidnapping.
Originally written by O.J. Simpson, this edition includes
essays by the Goldmans and a member of the Goldman family legal
team that reveal the fascinating story behind the bankruptcy case,
the book’s publication and the looming court proceedings, that
would eventually lead to his conviction.
In 1994, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were brutally
murdered at her home in Brentwood, California. O.J. Simpson was
tried for the crime in a case that captured the attention of the
American people, but was ultimately acquitted of criminal charges.
The victims' families brought a civil case against Simpson, which
found him liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of
Ron and Nicole committing battery with malice and oppression. In
2006, HarperCollins announced the publication of a book in which
O.J. Simpson told how he hypothetically would have committed the
murders. In response to public outrage that Simpson stood to profit
from these crimes, HarperCollins canceled the book.
The Goldman family views the book as his confession, and has
worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn
the truth. This is O.J. Simpson's original manuscript, approved by
him, with up to 14,000 words of additional key commentary.
