Throwing the Book at Simpson

“I made a promise to Ron,” Goldman says, “that I would pursue this bastard.”
That pursuit escalates to heights not seen in a decade, when Goldman was scheduled to go on the Oprah show to tout the macabre book he took away from Simpson, If I Did It.

The book — in which Simpson wrote of how he MIGHT have killed Nicole Brown, his ex-wife, and Ron Goldman the night of June 12, 1994 — prompted so much negative reaction that the original publisher, Judith Regan, was fired and thousands of copies pulped. Goldman then gained rights to the book and arranged for it to be published again.

He hasn’t changed a word of the text or the title. But, in a stinging bit of irony, he has reduced the size of the word ‘If’ to a microscopic level. With the subtitle, the cover now appears to read: “I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.” Goldman also added an introduction, prologue and afterword, by himself and others, that recasts Simpson’s book as both an indictment and a confession by the man himself. The book will be in stores this weekend.

But Goldman’s decision to publish the book has enraged Brown’s family. Denise Brown, her sister, refused to be onstage with Goldman on the Oprah show. She vows she will never speak to him again. “This is evil, this is blood money,” she says in a telephone interview. “It’s written by a man who is evil. And now (Goldman) is writing in the same book? This is disgusting.”
