It remains to be seen what the consequences of the semi-admission will be. OJ could be tried again in the Federal, but not the state courts ("dual sovereign rule"). But it isn't obvious that he committed any federally-cognizable offense: typically a second, federal trial after a failed state prosecution is on the basis of a violation of civil rights. Federal homicides usually concern the kiling of a federal officer, or a kiling on a federal establishment or protected reservation.
A California prosecution for perjury is out because (to my recollection) OJ never took the stand.
The fact is that a substantial proportion of crimes -- even murders -- are never prosecuted, or never successfully prosecuted.

"She i tell anyone if he admits to the murder in the book?" Is that english? If you bought O.J.'s book, would you even be able to read it? I'd hope for your sake it had some pretty pictures in it so it wasn't a complete waste of money.

If it's right there in the freakin' BOOK, why would you need to tell anyone?
Also, the book's never coming out, so you don't have to worry about that.

They never released the book, but if they somehow did, and you found out, I would hope you would tell us!

won't make a difference - he can openly admit it - because he has already been found 'not guilty'
called double jeopardy - cannot be tried twice
