O.J. Simpson's hypothetical account of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her
friend Ron Goldman will be printed by a New York publisher.
A literary agent for the Goldman family has made a deal to repackage and
publish If I Did It after relatives were awarded rights to the book by a
federal judge in Florida last month (30Jul07).
Michael Wright, a spokesman for Los Angeles-based literary agent Sharlene
Martin of Martin Literary Management, says, "The family and publisher have
pledged to leave Simpson's manuscript entirely intact, but they will also add
key commentary.
The Simpson book, in which he explains how he might have committed the
killings, was not released last year (06) as scheduled after provoking public
outrage. Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman were found stabbed to death outside Brown's
home while her children were alseep upstairs.Evidence such as a bloody sock found in Simpson's beroom was proved to be Nicole's blood,
a glove found at the scene which contained brown, Goldman and Simpson's DNA and Simpson's
hair found on Goldman's shirt led to Simpson being tried for murder.Despite the overwhelming evidence against Simpson he was found not guilty, a decision that
shocked America.
