Date for Simpson Book Rights Auction Set
Tuesday, March 27, 2007
Sacramento, California judge orders sale on April 17th.
Going, going, gone. That might be how a reporter or commentator once described one of O.J. Simpson's amazing football runs - one of the many that helped land him in professional football's hall of fame. On April 17th, that will likely be the last words spoken before the rights to "If I Did It" transfer to a new owner. Authorities today ruled that April 17th will be the day the rights to the quasi-confessional book be sold to the highest bidder, according to Reuters.
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, according to The Associated Press.
