I knew that OJ Simpson’s book, If I Did It, was coming out again after the original version was pulped. But I hadn’t realised that it was Fred Goldman (the father of the murdered Ron) who was publishing it:

Fred Goldman and his daughter, Kim – the father and
sister of Ronald – have faced widespread criticism for publishing the
controversial book after it was scrapped by its original publishers.

Denise
Brown, Nicole’s sister, has said she is "shocked and horrified" and has
vowed never to speak to the Goldmans again. She refused to appear with
them on the Oprah Winfrey Show on US television.

The
book, in which Simpson wrote of how he might have killed the pair in
June 1994, prompted such outrage that the publisher, Judith Regan, was
sacked and hundreds of thousands of copies were pulped.

Mr
Goldman then gained rights to the book under terms of a 1997 civil
court judgment that held Simpson, an ex-American football star,
responsible for the murders despite being found not guilty in a
criminal trial. Mr Goldman arranged for it to be published again.

The book goes on sale in the US this weekend and more than 100,000 copies have already been ordered.

I take it that OJ won’t be doing any publicity for it then?
