Now, O.J. either just wrote a book or is writing a book telling how he would have committed the murder...but in an interview, a journalist said that O.J. pretty much admitted to the murder. Now if you can't be tried for the same crime twice, if O.J. really did admit that he killed them, can he be tried again?

He cant be tried twice for same crime BUT, they could charge him with something else. So that is why he is not straight out publicly admitting it. He is saying if I had... If I were the prosecutors, I would be looking into the possibilities. The prosecutor's that initially represented the state are no longer employed there, in fact I believe Marsha and the male under her (no pun intended) that she was accused of having an affair with work for different Universities.

No. Legally that's called 'Double jeopardy.' They would have to charge manslaughter or someother crime that would fit into that category. I think that applies in civil court also. They couldn't charge him with perjury (lying under oath) because he never took the stand during his trial. Hope this helps.

Nope. Same thing happened with the KKK members who murdered Emmitt Till as a young black kid then after they were acquitted they went and bragged to relatives.

The book has been canceled and he can never be tried again.
