Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Simpson said he was approached about the book and TV project, which he viewed as fiction but also as an opportunity to describe more fully his life with Nicole, their post-divorce relationship and other personal details. What he labeled "the incident" is covered in about half a chapter and involves a fictional character named "Charlie," Simpson said.
Uhh... what?

Wow, all of those people who bought the book would have been so disappointed when they found out that the murder only took up half a chapter.

"Absolutely not, and I maintained my innocence from day one," he replied, adding a little later: "No matter what everybody wants to say, I didn't do it."
Simpson also said he told the writer, "I have nothing to confess."
I truley believe that he believes this. It used to happen to me too. When I was in H-S I used to want to stay over at my girlfriends so I'd say I was stayin with one of my buddies. We had it all setup. He'd call my parents before I left and asked if I was there, if I could come over.. then I'd go up there, hang out then spending the night at my girlfriends.
My point to this story is simply this. Once you lie enough, lies become truth in your own subconsious mind.
OJ will rot in hell one day, when that day comes I will be the happiest person not connected to the murder..ever.

Well, if he didn't do it, that doesn't make this whole book thing much better. No matter what he's profiting from two brutal murders in which he had some degree of involvement. Ron Goldman would still be justifiably pissed off at him.
It would also make his doing all of this all the more strange. He had to have known that people would take this as a near confession. If you're innocent, why would you want to solidify the impression in everyone's minds that you're guilty?
But, that's just addressing what it would mean as far as this book, and it's pretty clear that he did it. Sometimes when something is obvious, it's because it's true.

Shouldn't he be justifiably pissed at Ron Goldman if he is innocent? The courts acquitted him of murder but Goldman had his mind already made up and is doing everything he possibly can to hound OJ for the rest of his life.

No because Goldman saw the same evidence we all did and determined that the most logical conclusion was that OJ murdered his son. So, he charged OJ with a civil suit and won.

If someone you loved was killed and it seemed glaringly obvious who committed the murder, I doubt you'd just say "oh, well, gotta trust the justice system I guess." and go about your life. You'd feel that justice wasn't done.

Maybe. All that guys money wouldn't really solve the problem of my kid being dead.
Is justice taking all of OJ's money, pretty much forcing him to take any money they'll throw at him because he can't obviously get a job anywhere else?
Obviously not because the whole incident just gets brought back into the limelight, forcing him to deal with it over and over and over again.
I think Ron Goldman has to accept the fact that his son is dead and that any revenge he tries to exact on OJ or OJ's family is really not going to bring his kid back. Taking all of OJ's money has exacerbated the problem.

Well, you can't blame Goldman for wanting to punish OJ in some way. He was totally within his legal rights to bring a case against him, and since OJ was found guilty, the legal system did what it does and OJ has to pay out most of the money he makes for the rest of his life.

And saying this:
I think Ron Goldman has to accept the fact that his son is dead and that any revenge he tries to exact on OJ or OJ's family is really not going to bring his kid back.
doesn't really follow, logically, because you could say that about any crime. Why press charges against the person who killed your son? That won't bring him back. True, but it probably eats him up inside thinking that his Son's killer got off Scott free.

I dont blame him, but because he's continued to pursue him after that case, this book was written. It truly is his own damn fault that he has to deal with this.

No it's not. YOu can't blame Goldman for OJ's book because Goldman went after OJ after the suit was over. OJ's wrong for doing it no matter what. Goldman might have put the hurt on OJ, financially, which led OJ to make the decision to write, but that doesn't make it Goldman's fault. I have a hard time faulting a guy for doing anything when his son's murderer is walking around.

If he let it go, and actually went about his life, the book wouldn't have been made.

whether OJ ever pays him or not, shouldn't really put anything to rest for the goldman's... according to the courts he after the wrong man...
the only reason he won the civil case because the threshold for necessary evidence was lowered... the threshold is where it is for a reason... so that one can be sure beyond a shadow of a doubt...
since the courts can't be sure, can the goldman's really be sure...?
sometimes we believe what we want to believe... no one wants a loved one who's murdered to have a killer that can't be found... we need it for our own sanity...
fyi: i think the proper description for OJ would be "alleged" killer, or "accused" murderer, since he was acquitted... the point I've been making all this time is .... "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"... either we apply the rules of the game evenly or not at all

{"commentId":397602,"authorDomain":"munzilla"}
but my point is that we need to be aware of the times the system fails. I don't "want" to believe that OJ did it, but the case against him was enormous and mismanaged by the prosecution. So, maybe it wasn't a "failure" of the system as much as a failure of the players.
The Goldman's are upset because it's quite obvious who killed their son. The fact that the courts decided otherwise wouldn't be a comfort to most in his position.

since none can "absolutely certain" beyond a shadow of a doubt... since we weren't there, think of the possibility that there "could" be a killer he walked completely free who no one is looking for...
just a possibility... unlikely... but possible... that would bother me as a father... it would probably be easier to just hope that OJ did it...

True, it's just that, after all of the evidence and circumstantial evidence, and some common sense is weighed in, it's far more reasonable to think the killer is OJ. Put that together with what you said, and you've got a pissed off Ron Goldman.
