The only solace the families can take from all of this is that hopefully he never gets out of prison after his recent robbery charges.

O.J. Simpson's Former Manager Norman Pardo Says O.J. Was Paid $600,000 To Claim He Wrote 'If I Did It'
Quote:
"If I Did It" was originally announced in 2006 and was planned to coincide with a television interivew, but the project was scrapped in November of that year by NewsCorp and its subsidiary ReganBooks amid intense public criticism. In July 2007, the family of Ron Goldman acquired rights to the book and announced they would publish it in an effort to satisfy what Simpson owed them for the 1997 wrongful death suit against him.

Pardo told HuffPost Live that Simpson had no part in writing the book:

I remember when that book was coming out. O.J. called me. He said, 'Here's the deal,' because it was in the news that he was going to do an interview. I said, 'O.J., don't do it, it's stupid.' He said, 'Hey, they offered me $600,000 not to dispute that I [wrote] the book.' He said, 'That's cash.' I said, 'They're going to think you wrote it.' He said, 'So? Everybody thinks I'm a murderer anyway. They're not going to change their mind just because of a book.'
