The Saga Continues 14 Years Later

Just a quick note, but has anybody been keeping up with this whole O.J. Simpson/Mike Gilbert business? To sum up: Gilbert is Simpson's former business partner, and is alleging in his book How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse that one night Simpson smoked a little pot, popped a sleeping pill, and drank some beer. This tasty cocktail led Simpson to confess to the murders, claiming that he showed up at Nicole Brown's residence without a knife, but when she opened the front door, she had a knife in hand. According to Gilbert, Simpson stated "If she hadn't opened that door with a knife in her hand ... she'd still be alive."

What is Simpson's lawyer's response to these claims? "I've talked to O.J. about it. This stuff not only didn't occur but it's not factually supported by the evidence."

I'm sorry, but I just got such a kick out of that. So NOW we should be putting all this emphasis on factual evidence? Does that mean we can also look at the OVERWHELMING evidence indicating that your client did in fact commit those two brutal murders?

It's almost as if O.J.'s lawyer is saying: "That's absolutely ridiculous. Of course he brought the knife."
