LOS ANGELES - Fox plans to broadcast an interview with O.J. Simpson in which the former football star discusses "how he would have committed" the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, for which he was acquitted, the network said.

The two-part interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29, the TV network said.

Simpson has agreed to an "unrestricted" interview with book publisher Judith Regan, Fox said.

"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."

The interview will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It," goes on sale Nov. 30. The book, published by Regan, "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed."

1. Ole OJ must be desperate for some cash to pay the bills

The sequel to his upcoming book?

"Why I'd be better off if I were convicted."

[bloom]

2. So FOX is helping him make money off of a murder scenario.

Nice. :grr:

[EllenZ]

3. This is easy

He needs the money, this is all he has left to sell.

[Beetwasher]

4. Wasn't There A Comedy Sketch Done Like This?

I swear I thought I saw this done as a comedy bit by someone.

[peekaloo]

11. I remember Tim Meadows on SNL as OJ doing play-by-play

commentary and when illustrating a particular run he spelled out on the screen "I did it". :rofl:

[Hav]

5. .

Unreal.
Besides, isn't that just a little bit disrespectful towards the ones who got killed and their families?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

6. Just when I was thinking Fox had attmpted to shed it's "when bears attack" side

They go and class up the airwaves, once again.

[BootinUp]

7. The man is a psychopath. n/t

[Annces]

8. Unbelievable

And this guy has no trouble keeping friends either. This is way more offensive than Borat, please.

[EST]

9. Waitaminit!

I thought the civil suits by his late wife's family had prior claim on any acquired assets other than his enormous NFL pension.

[acmejack]

10. Amazing.

What a filthy bastard! To think that he was actually a popular personality once upon a time.

[H2O Man]

12. There are several books

that tell exactly how he committed the murders.

[lisby]

13. At least we'll finally know what happened that day. NT

:eyes:

Lisby

[peekaloo]

14. Next on Fox: Dick Cheney's musings on "if" we torture people here's

how he'd do it. Followed by his random thoughts on "if" he had engineered the 2001 Anthrax mailings how he would have done it. Followed by...................

15. that's fucking sick

.

[Skinner]

18. Agreed. Fucking sick. (nt)

[DinahMoeHum]

16. Leave it to Fox to promote this shit.

n/t

[Demoiselle]

17. Just how much protection does the double jeopardy rule offer, anyway?

Maybe if he really slips they can get him for aggravated assault and put him away for 20 years. That wouldn't be so terrible.

[CrispyQ]

19. Fucking asshole.

I'm surprised someone hasn't taken him out already.

[RethugAssKicker]

20. WOW !

He's really desperate for money. I wish one day we can find out what
really happened.

As for Fox, well they're just being the slime they are.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

21. Don't interrogators ask suspects to do this?

I thought that they sometimes ask, in a Columbo-like-way, to have the suspect describe how they imagine a crime was committed. In doing so the suspect can incriminate themselves by revealing details not publicized (although everything in this case seems to be public info by now).

[maveric]

22. Being aquitted, he can just come out and say that he did it.

Double Jeopardy thingie. Why doesnt he? He'd just be confirming what everyone else knows.

[DoctorMyEyes]

23. How do his children stand him?

What must this do to them?

[leftchick]

24. and Nicole's family

and Ron's. This is so sick in so many ways. :(

[GeorgeGist]

25. Fox Family Values...

strikesout again.

[ComerPerro]

26. Tons of people got rich off that trial. This isn't much different
