So, OJ Simpson gets himself involved in an alleged armed robbery in Las Vegas on the very same day that “If I Did It” is published by the Goldman family, who were previously responsible for Simpson not publishing it.
As usual, I don’t know what Simpson was thinking. First and foremost, why would he write a book like this? Is he dumb or does he just figure he can get away with anything? Such a cocky attitude would certainly seem a natural response to his life since 1994:
- October 1995: Simpson acquitted of murder charges.
- October 2001: Found not guilty after being charged with Road Rage in Miami, FL.
- December 2001: Not charged for selling Ecstasy after his home is raided by federal agents.
You’ll want to point out that the civil wrongful death suit didn’t work out to his benefit. But the Las Vegas incident is sure to boost sales of the book. It seems that even if he doesn’t get the proceeds, he wants people to read it. So maybe he’s getting the civil judgement to work in his favor now.
