Now he won't be able to use his theme song--and very little needed to be changed to fit the occasion. (I also understand Simpson can hardly write--much less write a book). If I Did It If I did it Time and again I would try to say All I want you to know If I did it Words wouldn't come in an easy way Round in circles I'd go Longin' to tell you but afraid and shy I'd let my golden chances pass me by Soon you'd leave me Off you would go in the mist of day Never, never to know How I did it If I did it. |

21 Nov 06 - 10:38 AM (#1889917) Subject: RE: BS: Fox cancels OJ interview From: Amos A foxy call by Murdoch; the proposed publication had already generated tons of publicity, which was multiplied by the conscientious cancellation, which altogether was worth tons in advertising costs, and although the book was electrifying, it is not as though it had any special redeeming social value. Hypothetical snuff porn, in effect. Ms. Regan will have been disappointed, I expect, as she was acting as the publisher and seemed to be building quite the wave, but I think Rupert was making a savvy call. A |

22 Nov 06 - 06:04 PM (#1891159) Subject: RE: BS: Fox cancels OJ interview - book cancelled also From: GUEST, Ebbie Speaking of which: It makes no sense for the ban against double jeopardy to be applied in the context of murder. When more evidence comes to light, including confession, why shouldn't a homicide be retried? |

22 Nov 06 - 07:05 PM (#1891220) Subject: RE: BS: Fox cancels OJ interview - book cancelled From: McGrath of Harlow Which has a different, and significantly less rigorous, standard of proof than a criminal court. There is no inconsistency between the two court outcomes. Double jeopardy doesn't apply in cases of murder in the UK now, when new evidence turns up that is strong enough. But a non-confessiion ("I didn't do it - but if I had done it, here is my imaginary account of how I would have done it") wouldn't count for much. |

So much for Regan's statement that the money was going to his kids. If there's such a thing as pure evil, O.J. is it. Wish it were possible to put him in a plastic bubble so that when he does die, the evil can't spread into the atmosphere. |

If his wife was black would he have been found guilty? If he was white and his wife black what would have been the opinion then. If he were not a sports icon would most care? Perhaps too many innocent blacks have been condemmed without a fair trial so some see this as a payback, but do two wrongs make a right? Very subjective questions but did the system fail and why? What have we learned from this, if anything? |

Senior executives at News Corp. said Saturday that although Regan was let go not because of the controversy over either the O.J. Simpson project or another contentious book, a forthcoming fictional "reimagining" of Mickey Mantle's life that had drawn advance criticism for its salacious content, both incidents contributed to her downfall at the company....... .... The last straw, however, came Friday afternoon, when Regan, working in her office in Los Angeles, blew up on the phone at a lawyer from HarperCollins in New York who had been helping the publisher handle problems with the Mantle book. Regan was dismissed for cause shortly after that phone call, according to a high-level source... --end quote-- |
