Guilt? Perverse pride that he got away with it? A last-ditch attempt to make money off this debacle and regain the spotlight?
Or is he just thumbing his nose at the legal system that can't re-try him because of double jeopardy?

Vanessa makes a good point, how could any father write (even fictionally) about murdering the mother of his children?

Because he's crazy and doesn't care about his children that lost their mother. He needs professional help. Seriously.

I don't think it's a slam-dunk that he did it. The defense was able to introduce reasonable doubt. (It is quite reasonable to believe that Mr. Simpson did the car-chase thing because he was afraid of the treatment he would receive at the hands of the LAPD, the three-ring circus-style trial, and the aftereffect of losing a number of lucrative endorsement opportunities because he had been convicted in the media.)
That said. . . .
If he didn't do it, then I would say that the book might be evidence that all the stress arising from the murders and the public perception that he got away with murder has made him blow a mental gasket or two and he is no longer entirely sound of mind.
If he did it, then it is possible that he is blowing off some guilt.
Evidence was introduced in the trial that Simpson had reasonable cause to believe that he would be treated as a second- or third-class citizen in the police system and his name would be smeared in the media. He has lost several lucrative contracts and any public career he might have wanted is over. If he didn't do it, then he has paid a terrible price for someone else's action.
A Chinese guy I know who is married to a white woman asked me at the time what I thought of the case. I answered that I didn't like the way they convicted O.J. in the media, and I didn't like it that I thought he was guilty. I did ask my friend why O.J. ran. He is the one who brought up the issue of O.J.'s speculating how he would be treated by the LAPD, and a possible wish to avoid that treatment.

I think it is disusting. I think he is making fun of the legal system for not getting him donw on trial. I think he is mockinh the woman he killed, and that he does not even feel sorry for it. He is thinking about no one but himself. It makes me angrey thining about it. His children must feel worse, and if I were the I woukld cut off all contact. Even if he did nto do it, to capatalize on her death.
It makes me so glad that Borders is giving all profits to a womens abuses charity.

Life experience is a good way for any writer to get started. He might be running a little low on money or thinks he needs more.

I think its funny how the cover of ther book has "if" in white letters blending with the cover and the "I did it" is in red and pops out. He is probably trying to make peace with god. I am sure there is some davinci code type message in there.

I think you narrowed it down well enough. It's really very obvious how greedy it is.
