Ex-NFL star to say 'how he would have committed' killings of ex-wife, friend

MSNBC News Services

Fox plans to broadcast an interview with O.J. Simpson in which the former football star discusses "how he would have committed" the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, for which he was acquitted, the network said.

The two-part interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29, the TV network said.

Simpson has agreed to an "unrestricted" interview with book publisher Judith Regan, Fox said.

"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."

Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was acquitted in a criminal trial of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in 1997 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.

Denise Brown, the sister of Nicole Brown Simpson, said in a statement, "We hope Ms. Regan takes full accountability for promoting the wrong doing of criminals and leveraging this forum and the actions of 'Simpson' to commercialize abuse," the Washington Post reported.

Brown also said Simpson's two children "will be exposed to his 'inexplicable behavior and we will provide them with our love and support during this time."

The interview will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It," goes on sale Nov. 30. The book, published by Regan, "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed."

In a video clip on the network's Web site, an off-screen interviewer says to Simpson, "You wrote 'I have never seen so much blood in my life."'

"I don't think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood," Simpson responds.

Messages left with Simpson and his attorney Yale Galanter were not immediately returned.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Crap like this is exactly why I refuse to watch FOX (Except for their NASCAR & Baseball coverage), more typical garbage for ratings.

You'd think a respectable network like Fox wouldn't show such things. :rolleyes:

He claims to be speaking hypothetically. It's rediculous.

but speaking 'hypothetical' about a murder that you're linked too seems very surreal to me.

Guess FOX offered Regan more $$$ for more BS, and who more to fill the BS-barrow than OJ "As innocent as Bush" Simpson

You know, I still believe we can thank Mark Fuhrman for all this. If the news hadnt come out about his racial slur, I think there would have been a different result.

I doubt it. OJ bought his freedom, pure and simple.

You may be correct, but I have a distinct reccolection of that moment when Fuhrman was outed for saying that, that "Opinion" turned to OJ's favor.
