Fox will air a two-hour interview with O.J. Simpson on Nov. 27 and 29 in which he hypothetically details how he would have murdered his wife, Nicole, and Ronald Goldman more than 10 years ago.
O.J. was charged with the murders, but was acquitted in large part to the late attorney Johnnie Cochran.
O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened” will be broadcast over two nights. “If I Did It” is also the title of the former pro football player’s new book that, Fox said yesterday, hits bookstores Nov. 30
On its Web site, under the headline “The Interview That Will Shake the Nation,” Fox presents a video clip in which someone, presumably Regan, says to Simpson, “You wrote, ‘I have never seen so much blood in my life.’ “
Simpson responds, “I don’t think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood.”
The National Enquirer — which broke the story about the Simpson book last month — has cited a West Coast source familiar with the project in providing grisly details of what it claims to be Simpson’s story in the book. The Enquirer says its source described the book’s account of the double murder as “so detailed and chillingly realistic — with O.J. as the central figure — that it leaves no doubt it is a confession of what really happened.” According to that report, Simpson was paid $3.5 million to do the book.
