L.A.'s biggest tabloid saga might end on a high note
It may be Sin City's arrest, but a successful prosecution of O.J. Simpson could bring a bit of peace to L.A. years after a massive miscarriage of justice. Read all about it in my Los Angeles Daily News column today:
"...Like the Zodiac killer sending greeting cards to the San Francisco Chronicle and calling police to report his own crimes, Simpson has expressed a creepy, sociopathic desire to make sure the heinous Brown and Goldman slayings stay at the top of the news.
'Let's say I committed this crime - even if I did do this, it would have to have been because I loved her very much, right?' Esquire magazine quoted Simpson in 1998. This before he wrote the almost-confession, how-to-kill handbook 'If I Did It,' which sparked so much public outrage that its release was canceled. When a judge subsequently awarded the book rights to the Goldmans, 'If' became tiny print on a cover that put 'I Did It' in huge, red letters.
Released on the same day as the alleged holdup and shooting to No. 1 on Amazon, commenters on the book powerhouse site were advising other readers to buy the book to back the Goldmans, then throw it in the trash.
And trash is what O.J. keeps producing. Perhaps feeling invincible because of double-jeopardy laws, and feeling if he got away with murder he can get away with anything, he has heaped even more shame on any Angeleno who grotesquely cheered his acquittal.
Except now, there's no Johnnie Cochran around to get him off the hook..."
