How OJ Simpson says he would've murdered Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman - 'if' he did it

ReutersO.J. Simpson.In 2006, the announcement of a book by O.J. Simpson that would give his allegedly hypothetical account of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and Ronald Goldman made waves.

With the planned title, "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," the book was to be published by ReganBooks, a division of HarperCollins. Shortly after the announcement, however, the book was canceled following outrage over the former football star profiting from the deaths.

Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995, but was found liable for the wrongful deaths of Brown and Goldman in a 1997 civil suit.

In 2007, the Goldman family was awarded rights to the book by a Florida bankruptcy court and went through with the publication, changing the title to "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer."

Since 2008, Simpson has been imprisoned in a Nevada jail for a different crime. He was found guilty that year of the armed robbery and kidnapping of two sports memorabilia dealers. Simpson has a parole hearing on Thursday that could get him out of prison by October, after having spent close to nine years in jail for the crime.
