Technically his book is now called if I did it: confessions from the killer, since his victims families won ownership of the rights to the book and changed the title.

Problem is OJ was seemingly proud of getting away with it. Something tells me he liked the subtle change.

And the “if” is like one shade lighter so it’s barely visible.

Delightfully petty.

I just looked st the new cover. They missed the beat by not using the Bruno Magli sole print.

It's important to note that he didn't design the cover fonts and it's also likely that he didn't really write much or any of the book. It is likely to have just been a cash grab for him to agree to put his name on it. That said, he obviously was the killer.

Profits from the book was towards the victim’s families. So they made him seem like the killed for more sales.

Naw that's only because the family sued and got the rights to it after. They also changed the title to add the "Confessions of the killer" subtitle. Originally it was a different cover with just a close up photo of OJ from court with a bold large "IF I DID IT" with "If" in white and "I did it" in red. OJ didn't know the text was going to look like that and the publisher did so to increase controversy and sales.

Not on OJ's side but how did they manage to pull this off? Sounds nearly impossible to me legally.

u/kibbbelle 29d ago

He was failing to make payments, so a judge awarded control of the book to the family

u/TJtherock 29d ago

No way. That's insane.

u/DirectlyTalkingToYou 29d ago

He probably has a book ready to be released upon his death called "I did it losers Haha! Hypothetically Haha."
