O.J. Simpson’s Book Titled ‘If I Did It: Confessions Of A Killer’
O.J. Simpson’s ‘If I Did It: Confessions of a Killer’ did what it was intended to do and sparked outrage worldwide. The book served as a hypothetical account of how Simpson would have committed the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, his ex-wife, and Ronald Goldman, her friend if he were the killer.
It generated significant controversy and backlash even before its release. Additionally, critics argued that the book and its publication were exploitative and insensitive to the families of the victims. However, O.J. in an interview with the NY Times clarified that the book was not a confession. ”This was an opportunity for my kids to get their financial legacy … I made it clear that it’s blood money,” he said.
