The Book Deal


O.J. Simpson wrote a book entitled “If I Did It” which entails a description of how he would have killed his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, ‘if’ he did it. The book tells of Mr. Simpson’s and his wife’s early life together and the end of their marriage. He then details ‘hypothetical’ murder scenes.

The rights of the book are owned by the Lorraine Brooke Corporation, which has recently filed for bankruptcy. Judge A. Jay Christol, a federal bankruptcy judge, accused Mr. Simpson of setting up a scheme of defrauding his creditors because he set up the corporation in his daughter’s name. He ruled that Fred Goldman is now the corporation’s largest creditor and is eligible to seek the rights to Mr. Simpson’s book.

Mr. Goldman published the book on September 13, 2007, and changed the title to “If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer.”
