Yes, but any copies released early to stores were recalled. That one chapter of "If I did it" is hypothetical and labeled fiction but a great part of the book is likely OJ defending himself against false allegations. One way to approach his acquittal is to consider some of what the jury saw. They heard the Fuhrman tapes where he made highly derogatory statements about blacks then lied underoath. The lead investigator in charge of the whole case freely admitted in court that he took a vial sample of OJ's blood from the lab and carried it back into the crime scene, which is against police policy. The jury saw a video taken by paparazzi of OJ, Nicole, Denise and their parents talking in a nice peaceful manner right after attending OJ/Nicole's daughter's dance recital - and Denise even kissed and hugged OJ (all this was a few short hours before the crime). No murder weapon was ever found and there weren't any witnesses. The "found" glove didn't fit - wrong size (heat shrinks, moisture doesn't). OJ's slow speed drive at 30 mph to his own house is not indicative of guilt. Some may disagree with the jury verdict but it's unfair to state with absolute certainty that this person is guilty. Simpson has always maintained his innocence. Concerning the book, likely the "If i did it" title and chapter was decided by the publisher and network for the sensational value which they thought would translate into higher book sales and higher TV ratings for the interview.

No they didn't. In fact, there was a story yesterday about how he's being sued by the Goldman family.
Apparently, OJ set up a shell corporation so this isn't a personal asset, which would shelter him from this lawsuit. Although I feel bad for the Goldman's, I don't think that his lawsuit is going to hold up.
Here's a link to that story:

No. And furthermore, the would-be publisher got fired.

Good thing too......
He was rich enough to 'pay for a not-guilty verdict'
Must be nice to be able to do things and pay for them to go away
