O.J.'S BOOK

The question is why it needed to be granted in the fist place. He owes them if my memory is correct.

The Goldman's won a wrongful death lawsuit, but because of the trial, O.J. lost all of his endorsements and job opportunities, so he hasn't been able to pay them the money he owes.

The he writes this book which is supposed to be fiction, detailing how he could have pulled of the murders on his own. Because of the "Son of Sam" law, no one can profit from the crimes they supposed to have committed, so the judge granted the Goldman's the rights to the book. That way if they decide to publish it, they would get the proceeds and possibly the amount of the judgement they were awarded in court.

I think the judge was right in this ruling. Even though he was not convicted of the crime, you know he did it. He once said that he wouldn't stop until the real killer was caught, but it doesn't look like he is trying too hard.

No he isn't, and he wrote this book as a confession and he can't be convicted because he was already acquitted at trial. I've always said it was possible that he did it, it's just the police mishandled the crime scene before the coroner's dept took possession of the crime scene. Therefore any evidence found wouldn't be admissible in court.
