A 2006 interview where O.J. Simpson gives a hypothetical account of the events that occurred on the night his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were slain, was shown for the first time on Sunday night on Fox.
The planned showing in 2006 of the interview was canceled a week before it was to air by News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch also dropped plans to publish the book Simpson had written, “If I Did It.”
Simpson was acquitted in October 1995 of criminal charges in the June 12, 1994, killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman in front of her Brentwood residence. A civil court jury, however, found him responsible for the killings and ordered him to pay $33.5 million in restitution to the victims’ families.
