Topic : 07/02 The O.J. Book Battle

you say you would not purchace the book, but from what I understand, all the proceeds go to the goldman family, so yes buy the book, don't read it burn it and let the goldman's have all the proceeds

people need to stop attacking the jury in the oj simpson trial. it is not because they were dumb or stupid in any way. they were asked to do a job ( one that most of us don't want ) and they did it to the best of their ability. people  are so self righteous on this board it's ridiculous. if that was the decision that was made then that's that. many of innocent people go to jail every day, and most of you shouting for oj's blood are those promoting a flawed justice system. why not get the people wrongly accused justice? better yet leave people who were proven not guilty alone. what about nicole's children? do they not deserve a break? and those stupid racial slurs that are going around? people grow up, you make nothing in this country better all you do is yap yap and nothing gets done. go out and exact change in the world by doing something positive. have you gone to an inner city school and tried to help the youth, or visited a homeless shelter and given of your time, or better yet when was the last time you tried to walk in someone else's shoes to see how difficult their lives are? do something more worth while than putting others down. or is the problem really yourself?

I am so happy to see a victims family fight back !! OJ might have "gotten off" with a not guilty but the Goldmans have persued him and made his life miserable. I agree with Dr. Phil that Ron would have been proud of them. I hope the actions of the Goldmans have tormented OJ!! What I can't figure out about people that feel sorry for OJ is this... why would you pity such an obviously sick and twisted person? No one with an ounce of morality or compasion would contrive such a book. He is evil!!! Just because someone has a sports talent doesn't make them good. We need to stop holding these sports stars up as idols- they are what they are- talented in a certain area. That doesn't make you a role model.

All OJ is doing is making money off being a smug a$$....flaunting how he got away with murder...this book should be boycotted the only good thing is the goldman family gets some profit from he book but they will never see the money with the lifestyle OJ lives.  OJ needs to rot in hell!!!

I am very happy the Goldman's have gravitated more towards closure with the O.J. "confession".  Long time coming.  However, I believe that Judith Regan deserves not only a public apology from the Goldman's but also a world of thanks and gratitude for getting this sociopath comfortable enough to open up to her and "confess!"  Any journalist would have killed Ms. Regan to get that interview.  But instead they turned on her, Geraldo included, because of the fire behind the smoke!  BTW, it was Ms. Regan who got O.J. to confess on camera, not Pablo Fenjves, though he has been made a sole hero for all his efforts.  After winning the rights to the book and finally reading the book, the Goldman's approached Ms. Regan, saying, " It is a confession!  You were right!  Would you like to re-publish it?"  Who knew? She did.  Naturally she declined.  Afterall, she single- handedly sold 1 billion dollars worth of books for Harper Collins so she will go on like Clive Davis did from Arista. How many of us can say that?  Rupert Murdoch, the Goldman's and the infamous Denise Brown should re-evaluate their positions with her.  In the original deal, O.J. wasn't to acquire a dime from the profits so Ms. Regan wasn't conspiring with him in any way for him to get rich.  As a result, she was fired from Haper Collins, lost her book imprint, Regan Books, millions of dollars in book deals she had in the making, public humiliation and a ridiculous anti-semitic smear campaign brought up against her by the powers-that-be!  Has anyone ever heard of Denise Brown admitting she was advanced 1 million dollars for producing the rights to Nicole's diary from Ms. Regan?  I think not.  She never produced  after swearing she had the rights to it.  She walked away with 1million dollars then went straight to the media to bash Ms. Regan.  You do the math.  Example.  When the feds are dealing with a perp, and the perp wants a helicopter, cash, a getaway car, etc., the feds comply to their wishes because there's no time for failure with the intentions of capturing the perp and getting it all back at the end of the day.  You could look at any advances of monies made by her as such.  There was a much bigger picture!  Koudos to Judith Regan!  Rupert Murdoch was wrong and he'll never find another publisher as strong as she is in his lifetime to work for him!  Ms. Regan was right on target and way ahead of them all!  On another level, Ms. Regan only did her job and extraordinarily well be it unorthodoxed to some I might add, to cover a "confession" interview with a man who got away with murder and was ready to sing to her.  The woman publishes books of all kinds, some controversial, like this one.  The largest court case of the 20th century, which by the way got Gretta Van Sustern her show, Starr Jones launched and a host of employees jobs at Court TV.  Gotta give her her props people!

 You seem to be forgetting that "the children" are no longer children. They are both of age now and both had to sign off on the book deal as was stated on the program today. One can only guess what the circumstances were regarding that. One thing is certain and that is they either signed off on it of their own volition, in which case that makes them vultures feeding off of their dead mother's carcass, or they were pressured into it by their father for the funds that were " supposedly " to be put in trust for their future. Regardless of the circumstances,what kind of father would ever dream of writing such a book? "Hey kids! If I would have stabbed your mother to death and almost decapitate her,oh and another innocent person who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, this is how I would have done it." Are you kidding? You seem to be so righteous about the justice system. Well juries are wrong all the time my friend. Just because you are found not guilty doesn't mean you didn't do it and vice versa. You are also forgetting there was a jury in the civil case who did find him guilty beyond reasonable doubt. If O.J really wanted to secure his children's welfare, how about getting a job? I'm sure there are plenty of people out there of questionabl morality who would be happy to hire such a bottom feeder. But maybe he doesn't have the time. After all, he's probably out there looking for the real killer between rounds of golf.

If I understand correctly...the book will be available for sale soon? And if so, does the Goldman family receive the profits? Oh, and to be clear on one thing...OJ DEFINITELY DID IT! I think this book is his "bragging rights" and he is proud of it. What a sick @#%*! I feel for Ron and Nicole's family.

I'm sorry, I do not feel any more sorry for the Goldmans any more than I feel for any other victims family. O.J. is not the sharpest tool on the sheds, and seems to be around the bend mentally (too many head tackles?

 

BUT, at the time of the murder, Ron was estranged from the rest of the family, cast out as a bad son and brother for his lifestyle. He gets murdered and it is the greatest tragedy since Macbeth. The "loving" family gathers round like wounded puppies (granted, they will NEVER be able to patch up their differences). OJ was found innocent by a jury of his peers and later found guilty in a wrongful death civil suit.

 

It appears to me that the Goldman's new idea of justice is the same old idea of justice since the Egyptians. Money. Pure and simple. Money. The Goldmans were never well to do and Mr. Goldman and his daughter come across that the death of his son and her brother is a financial gold mine.

 

Where are the Browns? Moving on with their lives. Mr Goldman gets all choked up on the show about details in the book. Don't read the damn thing. They has it shut down once, and when the GOLDMANS found out the GOLDMANS could make money, they went to court to get the book published.

 

 

Mr. Goldman is not pushed by the tragedy of their son's death. They are pushed by one simple emotion:

 

GREED

  What amazed me about this show is how the Goldman's can still call OJ a killer and a murderer after he was found not guilty in a court of law and then sue him for killing some one he was found not guilty in a court of law. They are entitled to their opinion, but to go on national television and call him a killer seems like slander to me. Was any effort made to let OJ or anyone representing him to tell his side of the story. I do not believe the ghost writer at all, he does not seem credible to me. As far as OJ knowing details about the crime goes, he was at the trail and heard the other side offer their opinion on how he killed them. What he did in Vegas was wrong and if he is found guilty he should go to jail. As far as the crime he was found NOT GUILTY of let it go and give it a rest. I expect better from Dr. Phil.
