O.J. Simpson, who died of cancer aged 76 on Wednesday, once published a book about how he would have hypothetically murdered his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend Ron Goldman, over a decade after he was accused and acquitted of all charges over their deaths.
In 1994, Simpson was arrested and charged after Brown and Goldman were stabbed at her Los Angeles home. A year later, he was found not guilty in a highly publicized, televised criminal trial. It was a watershed moment for the TV news business: an estimated 150 million people watched Simpson's verdict in 1995.
Brown and Goldman's families later sued the former football star, and a civil jury found Simpson liable for their deaths in 1997 and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages to the families.
In 2006, almost a decade after the civil trial, Simpson announced he would release a book about the murders originally titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," but the book was quickly scrapped following public outcry.
After a bankruptcy court in Florida awarded the rights of the book to the Goldman family, the book was finally published, but with a new name: "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer."
The family also added new sections to the book, including commentary from the Goldman family on why they went through with the publication, as well as a prologue written by the book's ghostwriter, Pablo Fenjves, in which he describes his meetings and conversations with Simpson.
Goldman and Brown's family also received all the profits from the book.
However, Brown's sister, Denise Brown, disapproved of the publication. She told "Good Morning America" in 2007 that the book is a "manual on how to commit murder" and called any profits from the book "blood money."
"To me it's going to promote more killings instead of helping victims of domestic violence, who already know they're living a nightmare," Brown said. "We don't need to promote O.J. Simpson. We don't need to sensationalize him."
Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, and sister, Kim Goldman, defended the publication, telling Fox News in 2007: " We can take his words and show him to be the monster that he is."
Here are some key moments from the book.
