In case you haven't heard, one of OJ's longtime friends and ex-agent Mike Gilbert has written an autobiography account of his dealings with his one-time friend OJ Simpson.
Quoting a comment from this attached site (Gilbert quote) is a pretty specatacular comment to say the least......, much less shocking. Supposedly, weeks after the double homicide of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, OJ confided in Mr. Gilbert with the following quote:
"He said Simpson had smoked pot, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when he confided at his Brentwood home weeks after his trial what happened the night of June 12, 1994. Simpson said he went to his ex-wife’s condominium, but did not bring a knife with him. Simpson told him Nicole Brown Simpson had one in her hand when she opened the door. In a soft mumble, Simpson told him: “If she hadn’t opened that door with a knife in her hand … she’d still be alive.” “Nothing more needed to be said,” Gilbert writes. “O.J. had confessed to me. There’s no doubt in my mind.” "
WOW!
This evening on my local sports radio show here in Lincoln, NE, ESPN 1480 members interviewed Mr. Gilbert on his relationship with Mr. Simpson, and his eventual book that he has recently published. The show in Lincoln is called "The Spread". For info on this program click this site. (I will give credit at the end, but can only comment on what I can retell from listening to this evenings show on the radio.)
In one of the questions that was asked, they said (non-verbatim): "What was the final straw that made you cut your ties with OJ."
Mr. Gilbert's response? (also non-verbatim) "It was when he was 53 years old. OJ has been the only person in my lifetime who has ever offered me cocaine or ecstasy. I asked OJ, "Hey man, we gave you a second lease on life. You are 53 years old, doing cocaine and ecstasy and you have two beautiful children who can consume your life that you can make a difference with." OJ's supposed response? "My daughter is just like her mother, and I can't wait until she is old enough to be out of my house."
Supposedly after that comment, Mr. Gilbert alleges he has since dropped all ties with Mr. Simpson. From his comments, Mr. GIlbert acknowledged that Mr. Simpson has tried to contact him on several occasions, but he has not returned his calls.
In the end, Mr. Gilbert claimed that he has no doubt in his mind that OJ was guilty of the heinous crime he was charged and suspected of.
Like I said, don't blame the messenger. I'm just here relating some shocking stuff that seems to be extremely interesting............ and then some.
NOTE: I am simply giving you some very interesting news. I personally have not given any quote of my own other than the afformentioned....WOW!. Do I believe in what Mr. Gilbert is saying? Personally, I'm not sure. But in the least, it is quite intriguing.
It just goes to show you what a joke our judicial system has become.
A ton of money will get people off the hook where other people who are facing the same charges and can't afford legal council get the nice juicy sentence.You watch what happens to the people who are awarded a public defender most of the time. lol
Wow, another #### writes a book to make some coin. Can anything be trusted in this read? Sure, I'd want to believe every sleazy comment, yet I won't read it.
Hmmmm....I have an idea.
I'll write a book.
"How Nostradomus and Lisa H stole my milk money in thrid grade."

Kelly's so outraged by it, in fact, that it has to be said twice! As a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan I have always been devastated that any one of our beloved Bills could ever have done anything so egregious, so callous toward another human being and get away with it. Yeah, he sure has proven how sterling a character he is over the past couple of years hasn't he? I'm with husker on this one, though. Maybe Gilbert has something new or relevant to say, maybe not. But, you can be sure that "truth" is not his objective here but cold hard cash.
I have to agree with slshusker on this one. Gilbert could be telling the truth, since most think OJ is quilty. But why is he makng money off of it? Perhaps if he donated the profits to a charity, such as a battered women's shelter, it would be credible. Too many scum*bags in the world trying to profit off other scum*bags.
husker - did you get your chocolate milk that week?
There was never any doubt that he did it. If the police, the crime lab and the prosecutors office had done their job instead of trying for short cuts by making fabricated evidence fit the crime we wouldn't be having this conversation.
But then we probably would. This nobody would still want the money from the book.
