I would think that would be considered libel since he was acquitted in court. Do I think he did it? Heck yes...but I can't go around stating it as fact that he did it. It just doesnt make any sense. Yes, the families are entitled to money, but it seems that Fred Goldman is not only upset that OJ has gotten away scot-free he is using his son's death as a get rich quick scheme. Either way, I just want this stupid thing to end..its been what? 13 years....jeeze

Yea, hes liable for the deaths, but its not a conviction. Libel is the defamation of character...if he proclaims his innocence, and the book is changed from IF I did it...to confessions...that is a change of intent. Therefore I think the Goldman's would be liable for defamation of character

Well, OJ wasn't convicted, but he was found liable in civil court and was supposed to pay the Goldmans, and has lied about how much money he has. I believe that the newest development is that the Goldmans own the rights to his book because of the civil judgment they got against OJ, which he still hasn't even tried to pay them for. So, to answer your question (although some of your facts are a little off), no, he can't turn around and sue, at least with any success. The Goldmans own that book and all of the rights to it, and if they wanted to rename the book, they can.

Yes he can and you can bet he would too!
I wish he would move to Iraq.
Ron Goldman's father is trying to hurt OJ where it hurts the most,in his pocket. He has won the money and should be paid. OJ and schemed and lied all these years and I hope the last word he hears before he dies is you are a murder
If this was your son would you just move on down the road while OJ flaunts his acquittal?

No, probably not. After all, OJ is the one who wrote it....so how is it going to be reasonably construed as libel?

It is up to the publishing company, they had the deal and they know the legalities of it.
