Oprah And OJ

Well, the rumor that OJ Simpson has confessed to Oprah that he killed Nicole Brown Simpson appears not to be true. Even if it were, I’m not sure what Oprah could possibly think she could achieve by getting a man who already wrote a fictionalized confession to say more definitively that he killed his wife. Especially if he maintains something absurd like that he was defending himself when he nearly decapitated his wife, who had filed for divorce from him, and slashed her breasts. What is she going to achieve? Peace for his children? For the Brown and Goldman families? The police investigation into Simpson’s role in Brown’s murder was clearly deeply tainted. Mark Fuhrman is racist and shouldn’t have had a job with the LAPD given his prior conduct. But does anyone really believe that OJ Simpson didn’t murder Nicole Brown Simpson? This story is over. Oprah should be embarrassed to be continuing the media spectacle over it.
