It seems like nobody's asking the right questions these days or they're just completely avoiding them all together. Why would a 60 year old man, who's already been in the frying pan before(to escape unscathed), jump right back in??? Johnny Cochran is probably turning over in his grave. It just doesn't make any sense... unless you put the puzzle together.
After the "trial of the century" Ron Goldman's family filed a wrongful death suit against O.J. and won. $8.5 million was the amount awarded by the jury. But it seems as if they were unsatisfied with the amount that was honored and decided to seek more money for punitive damages.
Being that most of his assets were exhausted by legal fees and civil judgments. Unless O.J. won the lottery or inherited a substantial amount of money, he was heading for the poorhouse. O.J. was on the verge of releasing, "If I Did It." One of the most controversial books ever published, but due to a public outcry, on the eve of the release, the publishing company decided to withdraw. O.J. still received an undisclosed amount for the book in an out of court settlement, but millions of copies of the book still sat dormant on shelves in warehouses instead of bookstores.
In light of this, the Goldman's gained the publishing rights to the book, "If I Did It." A book that graphically details the murder of their son and Nicole Brown Simpson. But honestly, what good is obtaining the publishing of the works if you cannot receive the royalties from it??. Which brings us to September 2007.
O.J. commits a robbery which he admits to doing, but not to levels of which he's accused of. He was supposedly just trying to get his personal belongings back. The Goldman's then make a public announcement that they have decided to publish O.J.'s book, the following day. If you haven't yet put the pieces together, let me help you out.
Due to the media frenzy that O.J. has spurred in prior and current events. Once the book hits shelves. It's going to be an instant best-seller making the Goldman's multi-millionaires in the process. Which in turn, gets them those punitive damages they were seeking almost a decade ago.
There is definitely a moral issue at question here. They are basically, marketing, promoting, and distributing the works of their sons alleged killer, who they still believe did it. Just for financial gain. Seriously, what is this world coming to???

This whole thing is a media circus. There's more important things going on that we need to focus on. Like are boys in Iraq that need to come home.
These people make me sick.Completely and utterly despicable.

People nowadays do not have morals. As we all know money is the root of all evil, and it's bringing the evil out of the Goldman's. It's a shame.

Can't we all just get along?
