According to [Simpson's Manager, Norman Pardo], Simpson agreed to claim authorship of If I Did It after being promised a $600,000 payout by NewsCorp and its subsidiary ReganBooks."I remember when that book was coming out. O.J. called me. He said, 'Here's the deal,' because it was in the news that he was going to do an interview.""I said, 'O.J., don't do it, it's stupid.' He said, 'Hey, they offered me $600,000 not to dispute that I [wrote] the book.' He said, 'That's cash.'""I said, 'They're going to think you wrote it.' He said, 'So? Everybody thinks I'm a murderer anyway,'" the Juice reportedly told Pardo then. "'They're not going to change their mind just because of a book.'"Amid public outcry, the project was yanked, and in 2007, the family of Ron Goldman acquired its rights to satisfy the 1997 wrongful death suit against O.J.

Zimmerman isn't a bad person. Anyone who still buys into the "dindu nuffin" story of Trayvon Martin is mentally challenged.
