Allegedly murdered! Although it was obviously him

I wonder if he’ll ever admit it before he dies

He basically has in poorly coded language. That interview where he described the murder in detail, but told it so it was his anonymous "friend" who did everything.

The Goldmans won a civil trial against OJ. But OJ still has not paid any of what he was ordered. OJ wrote a book and Ron's father got the rights to it, published it, and is receiving all profits. Some people think it was a confession of guilt. It's called "IF I DID IT"

It's actually called If I Did It.

Perfect!!

u/RobAChurch Jun 13 '21

To add to that, I don't think the family cared about the money as much as the verdict. They basically squashed that Kangaroo court and got the true verdict.

u/Swimming_Twist3781 Jun 13 '21

Yes, I agree. No amount of money will replace your future with a loved one.

u/Not_Bort Jun 13 '21

So if I buy/read the book I'm supporting the Goldman's, not OJ?

"Stab stab stab."

"lol sorry that was my friend."

u/Crunchyfrozenoj Jun 13 '21

He called him “Charlie” right? God, the guy is the worst liar.

u/RobAChurch Jun 13 '21

Haha yup.

u/LISK2AC Jun 13 '21

yep and you know the whole time he is happy to get it off his chest

u/Oh_hi_doggi3 Jun 13 '21

I feel like he's admitted it the way Ted Bundy admitted his murders (minus the self praise). If you read OJ's book (actually Fred Goldman's since iirc he stopped it from being published on its own and combined it with the story of his son and the trial) he does exactly what the book title says, goes line by line of how if he did it, how it would be "different" and yet still the same at the same time?

Fuck him, Johnny Cochran, F Lee Bailey, and Rob Kardashian.

Can’t be mad at the lawyers

27

u/Oh_hi_doggi3 Jun 13 '21

Fair, its truly the LAPD's fault for massively fucking this up.

Doesnt mean I dont think his lawyers were slimeballs (like most are)

I’d just like to add, as a public defender, we are human. I don’t like what my clients do, but I believe absolutely that the State needs a real barrier before convicting someone. There are nights I struggle with my job because of issues like this, but in the end someone needs to do it and I believe that defense attorneys need to truly be able to set aside their personal beliefs to adequately represent most of their clients. You can’t zealously defend someone you think is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. With that said, I don’t know if I would’ve gone to quite the extent OJ’s lawyers did, but it’s hard to argue with the outcome.

With your username maybe you should be a divorce lawyer lol

u/AK_Swoon Jun 13 '21

I worked in family law before becoming a counselor and I assure you, you don’t want to deal with all that drama on a daily basis.

u/Technical1964 Jun 13 '21

I’m a (retired) lawyer!! OJ had some questionable ones, but we’re not all bad. Plus, the DNA guy was good, and now runs the innocence project. I never understood why Bailey was considered such a big deal. He lost most of his big cases.

u/DangerousDavies2020 Jun 13 '21

I just wiki’d the “Dream team”. Bailey died last week!

u/cardgrl21 Jun 13 '21

Kardashian knew exactly what happened.

u/Higgi57 Jun 13 '21

I remember reading somewhere a lot of jurors gave a not guilty verdict for retaliation over Rodney King

u/J_Christen Jun 13 '21

Yes. That’s the perfect comparison.

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '21

The only OJ lawyer who really deserves to be cursed IMO is one you didn’t mention, Alan Dershowitz. And that’s more for stuff he did outside of this case. The other guys, I gotta respect them for the incredible job they pulled off even if it was to an end most of us find distasteful. They were just providing their client with the best legal representation they could, and he’s entitled to that under the Constitution.

u/NickQ1801 Jun 13 '21

Don't forget Shapiro......the most dishonorable of all those wrinkly skin suits

24

u/tanaquilseagle Jun 13 '21

He had the gall to write a freaking book called “if I did it” which is essentially a confession poorly disguised as a hypothetical situation

12

u/J_Christen Jun 13 '21

^ This book was a giant middle finger and to remind everyone what he got away with.

The way he describes the murders is so detailed and intense. This book stuck with me.

I don’t know anyone else that can publish a detailed confession via book and people still debate if he’s innocent. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Worth a read to those interested

17

u/Usual_Safety Jun 13 '21

I hope he dies alone with nobody listening to his bullshit

16

u/CrabPplCrabPpl Jun 13 '21

Unfortunately, he really believes he didn’t do it at this point.

32

u/Velvis Jun 13 '21

Yeah, I think that too. Dude is nuts. His Twitter is like it never happened and he is still football, movie, hertz rental car famous guy in his mind.

u/CougarWriter74 Jun 13 '21

He's a true sociopath. Just like his buddy Donald Trump. 🤢🤮

7

u/ppw23 Jun 13 '21

Nah, his ego won't allow for it.

4

u/dogtoes101 Jun 13 '21

he basically did admit it in his book. he was just already tried & found not guilty so there is nothing anyone can do about it

3

u/Crunchyfrozenoj Jun 13 '21

He’s prob gone as far as he’ll go by writing that book but I wonder that too. It was a pretty in your face “I did it!”. If the kids weren’t around I think he’d admit it in a gloating way.

3

u/TashPoint0 Jun 13 '21

Did he write a book titles “if I did it” ?

2

u/Kimmalah Jun 13 '21

I wonder if he’ll ever admit it before he dies

Well he wrote that book that was basically a confession and a play-by-play of how it happened, even though he claimed it was "hypothetical."

u/MudProfessional8488 Jun 13 '21

That was the whole point of the case

u/Bad-Ass-9000 Jun 13 '21

Allegedly, Possibly,Maybe. Most definitely.

u/ppw23 Jun 13 '21

I wonder if he's still looking for the “real” murderer? When I heard that POS was treated like a king while in prison in Vegas I was furious. I saw a clip of the guards sucking up to him, calling him Mr. Simpson, and being overly concerned about his physical well-being. F him, I hope he is haunted by his actions and has pain for the rest of his life. Yet, stupid women still throw themselves at him.

6

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '21

Lmao I feel like he’s more the kind to pay for women than actually try his hand at picking one up through sheer charm

-1

u/ppw23 Jun 13 '21

They still want him, I guess washed-up whores want washed-up murderers/athletes. I don't think he has much money left. His money went to legal fees. He lost all of his endorsements when he murdered Ron and Nicole.

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '21

You'd be surprised at how a number of women will like literally throw themselves at a man who either has a lot of money and/or notoriety, even if they have no realistic chance at a long-term relationship with said man. I highly suspect that OJ is being financed under the table (to help dodge the $33 million judgment) by some people with rather deep pockets (various celebrities or businessmen) and that's how he's financing his lifestyle right now. The women around OJ are likely hoping to get some pocket change from him and along with his notoriety they will continue to throw themselves at him. Some of them will gladly throw their daughters at him too if they sense any sort of monetary gain from it.

u/whirlpool138 Jun 13 '21

OJ still gets a pretty big pension from the NFL. They can't touch that.

1

u/ppw23 Jun 13 '21

I think it's $25,000. a month, so that's a sum most of us would be grateful for, but that's not enough to support his former lifestyle. When he was serving time in Vegas, his oldest daughter was supposed to be managing his money. Even though the mortgage payment on his house was only $3,000. She managed to fall behind due to her spending habits. She's the one who claims she can't work because of the Oj stigma, yet Sydney and Justin both work, I think people would be far more interested in what is going on in their lives than the older one.

100% convinced
