The controversial O.J. Simpson tell-all If I Did It has gone onto the presses. Its publisher, Beaufort Books, has ordered a first run of 125,000 copies, and claims to have sold almost the entire run already.The idea of this book sickens me. I understand that, by court order, the proceeds will be awarded to the family of one of Simpson's victims, Ron Goldman. His family apparently believes that readers will see through the ruse of presenting the work as fiction, and take it as Simpson's confession.
Even if the profits are appropriately distributed, I don't think that justifies buying the work. I'm aghast to think anyone would spend a penny on this book. The mere existence of such a confession rubs our collective noses in the failure of our legal system, and the publicity surrounding its publishing is bound to benefit the author in some way. We all know what he did, and how he did it, and that he hasn't, and won't pay the price for his crime.
The best we can do now is turn our backs on him. Completely. Here's hoping Beaufort Books ends up with 125,000 remainders.
