If I did it? Is he serious? I read this article about OJ this morning and I'm almost (but obviously not totally) speechless. What a sick, twisted, inconceivable, demented, horrifying thing to do.

My immediate thought is for the families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. I pray that they will not read this book or watch the interview because I think it would be more than they could bear. But having recently seen Ron's sister and father on TV in an interview, they still have such a burning hatred for this man, that I wouldn't be surprised if they do. Hopefully they will be able to find some legal loophole that offers something they can take back to prosecuters who could hopefully find a way to prosecute him again that wouldn't invoke double jeopardy. That's a totally intriguing prospect, and I really hope it comes to fruition.

Now, why exactly would OJ do this? Could he be so desperate for cash that he is willing to sink to a level unthinkable to any normal, rational person, especially one with children who will be undeniably, irreparably harmed by this admission of alleged guilt. (Give me a break.) This would prove what I've often wondered over the years, that he is criminally insane. It's unfathamable that he would do this without being assured it can't hurt him by his legal experts, but he has so often mocked the legal system and spit in the faces of those who would judge him, that it wouldn't completely surprise me.

There's also the option that he is just a complete egomaniac, so in love with himself that he can't imagine a circumstance where this would get him in trouble. I think there's evidence that could totally back that up.

The more intriguing option to me, though, is that he has been so overrun with guilt for the past 12 years that this is the only thing he can think of to try and gain a sense of absolution, without just coming out with a confession. According to this article, when being interviewed for the TV special, he was asked to read from one of the chapters of the book about the night in question and he broke down in tears, claiming that he "can't have his kids hear him say this." That would suggest a conscience, something I'm sure most people would be surprised to discover he has.

So, what do we make of this? If he wants to confess, shouldn't natural consequences follow? I think he's seeking punishment. I think he's trying to face the demons that have been haunting him for over a decade. Let's give him what he wants, please.

What must those jurors that acquitted him be thinking now? I was so disgusted with the verdict when it came down in the face of such overwhelming evidence. But I remember watching a documentary where I learned that the jurors were not privy to much of the information that the general public was, and that was the fault of some pretty lousy prosecution by the State. But they were able to see all that information afterwards, and I'm sure many of them have tried for years to tell themselves that they didn't set a guilty man free, no matter what the evidence suggested. What will they do now?

Pray for Sydney and Justin, those poor, poor kids. And for Nicole's sister, and her and Ron's families. Hopefully this will be the beginning of the last chapter of a long and twisted saga, and this time the killer won't get away.
