The rights to O.J. Simpson’s book, “If I Did It,” will be auctioned off April 17.
The book, in which Simpson explains how he might have committed the killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, has been the subject of a legal battle between the former NFL star and Goldman’s family.
The book and companion TV interview were never released amid public outrage.
Notice of the auction to be held by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department has been sent to publishers, Hollywood studios and talent agencies, Goldman family attorney David Cook said.
It’s unknown who will bid on the rights, but Cook said the Goldmans will do so if needed.
