Money Grubbing

I thought that the whole premise of this book not being published was because it was in poor, poor taste and that it was an insult to the families of the victims. Why, then, is Fred Goldman out to get the rights to the book and probably use it for profit?

The rights to O.J. Simpson's book, "If I Did It," will be auctioned off April 17.

The book, in which Simpson explains how he might have committed the killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, has been the subject of a legal battle between the former NFL star and Goldman's family.

The book and companion TV interview were never released amid public outrage.

Notice of the auction to be held by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department has been sent to publishers, Hollywood studios and talent agencies, Goldman family attorney David Cook said.

It's unknown who will bid on the rights, but Cook said the Goldmans will do so if needed.

As tacky as the entire concept of the whole book is, I never thought it was worth all of the hysteria and worth Judith Regan losing her job. To have this thing being sold and not buried just shows that people really don't care about the victims, families or OJ's idiotic antics. People, Ron Goldman at the helm, care about grubbing a dollar.
