Enough, Already: O.J. Simpson's Book Should Never See the Light of Day, No Matter Where the Money Goes

Fred Goldman has managed to secure the rights to all proceeds from the sale of O.J. Simpson's book "If I Did It" and plans to have the damned thing published.

Denise Brown, sister of Nicole Brown Simpson, is shocked and encouraging everyone to boycott the book. I am in complete agreement with her call. That rag (aka Simpson's book) should never see the light of day. I never expected Fred Goldman, father of the late Ron Goldman, to have the rag published in the name of the victims.

As is expected, the families of the victims are not in agreement over the fate of this book. Simpson was cleared of criminal wrongdoing but was found responsible for their deaths in a civil suit and ordered to pay $38 million. Every penny that has gone into that settlement has been due to court action, not Simpson paying up voluntarily.

I was against this book when word broke that it had been written (see November 16, 2006 entry: OJ Simpson is OUT of His Mind...) I'm still against it. It's based on pure evil, no matter where the money goes. Fred Goldman is wrong to do this.
