Learn moreIn 1994, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were brutally murdered at her home in Brentwood, California. O. J. Simpson was tried for the crime in a case that captured the attention of the American people, but he was ultimately found not guilty of criminal charges.
The victims' families brought civil cases against Simpson, in which he was found liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole by committing battery with malice and oppression.
In 2006, HarperCollins announced the publication for a book in which O.J. Simpson told how he hypothetically would have committed the murders. In response to public outrage that Simpson stood to profit from these crimes, HarperCollins canceled the book. A Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the Goldmans in August 2007 to partially satisfy the unpaid civil judgment, which has risen, with interest, to over $38 million.
The Goldman family views this book as his confession and has worked hard to ensure that the public will read this book and learn the truth. This is the original manuscript approved by O. J. Simpson, with additional insight from the Goldman family, Pablo F. Fenjves, and Dominick Dunne.
The Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice was established to empower, inspire, motivate, and assist victims of crime. Visit them at www.RonGoldmanFoundation.org.

Reviews
โItโs as if Simpson is sitting across from the reader laying out his side of the story, one-on-one.โ
โA confession? Judge for yourself. My feeling? You bet it is. The case is now officially closed. This appalling but mesmerizing book does it."
โWith an exclusive commentary read by Kim Goldman (Ron Goldmanโs sister), an account of writing the book with Simpson by ghostwriter Pablo F. Fenjves, and an afterword by Dominick Dunne, listeners get an interesting balancing act of interests and motives for the publication of this story. G. Valmont Thomas eerily embraces Simpsonโs sound and speech patterns, making the audiobook more disturbing than the book.โ
