FOX Airs OJ Simpson's "Lost Confession"


While this almost feels like Geraldo Rivera is going to jump out of the wings with a wild conspiracy theory or a second vault that might have belonged to Al Capone, last night FOX aired O.J. Simpson - The Lost Confession?

FOX planned on airing the interview in 2006 in conjunction with Simpson's book If I Did It but an outcry of objections pressured the network into cancelling the TV special.

After being acquitted of the double murder of his wife Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1995, O.J. Simpson gave this "interview" to publisher Judith Regan in 2006 wherein he explains a "hypothetical" version of events the night of the murders.

It's hard to understand why Simpson would even go down this road. Throughout his "hypothetical," he slips with "I remember" and "I was" comments that really help cement that this was a kind of subconscious confession.

Regan joined moderator Soledad O’Brien along with prosecutor Christopher Darden, Nicole’s friend Eve Chen and retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente for a panel to discuss Simpson's comments as part of the TV event.

While he escaped punishment for the 1995 murders, Simpson was arrested and convicted of armed robbery in Las Vegas and spent 9 years in prison. He was paroled last October.
