According the the National Enquirer (a great source of honest journalism) O.J. Simpson is in such dire need of money that he is going to confess - hypothetically. He is being given $3,500,000 to write a hypothetical book about the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Somehow, he has a lot of detailed information about the murders:

> The early part of the book tells how Simpson fell in love with Nicole and how the marriage collapsed, reports the tab. He goes on, according to the article, to describe in gruesome detail the killing of his ex-wife and Goldman; he stipulates that the murder scenes are “hypothetical.” But, notes the tab, the descriptions are “so detailed and so chillingly realistic” that readers are left with little doubt as to what really happened.

He reportedly plans to spend the money so fast that it will not have to be paid out toward the civil judgement against him.

If I read this article about any other accused killer, I would that it was to crazy to even consider. But about O.J.? Yeah, I think he would do this…

I can’t believe this. It sounds impossible on so many levels. Regardless of the MSNBC link I think this story is complete BS.
