Synopsis
IF I DID IT, O. J. Simpson's supposedly hypothetical account of how he would have committed the double homicide he was acquitted of, is one of the most bizarre, outrageous, and divisive books of the 21st century, and is considered by many to be nothing less than a confession. Simpson describes exactly how he would have gone about murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman that fateful day in 1994, even down to the details of how he "thinks" the blood would have splattered. Widespread criticism of the publication led to Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp (of which Regan Books was an imprint) canceling the book and eventually to the termination of superstar publisher Judith Regan. In 2007, a Florida court awarded the rights to the book to the Goldman family, as part of the unpaid restitution that Simpson owed them. As a result, a repackaged version of the book has finally been released, this time including exclusive commentary by the Goldman family, and featuring the new subtitle: CONFESSIONS OF THE KILLER.

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 found not guilty of criminal charges. The victims' families brought civil cases against Simpson, and he was found liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole by 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. A Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the Goldmans in August 2007 to partially satisfy the unpaid civil judgment, which has risen, with interest, to over $38 million. The Goldman family views this book as his confession, and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn the truth. This is the original manuscript approved by O.J. Simpson, with up to 14,000 words of key additional commentary.--From publisher's description.
