The O.J. Simpson Best-Sellers
Orenthal James (O. J.) Simpson was charged with murder in June 1994 in the double homicide of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
Mr. Simpson was acquitted of the murders. Following his acquittal, prosecutors in the case, Christopher Darden, Marcia Clark, and Hank Goldberg, signed multi-million-dollar book contracts to write about their experiences during the trial. Alan Dershowitz, Johnnie Cochran, and Robert Shapiro, members of the Simpson defense team, signed six-figure contracts to write books about the trial from the defense perspective. Daniel Petrocelli, the lawyer who represented the Goldmans in their civil suit against Mr. Simpson, also wrote a book, Triumph of Justice: The Final Judgment on the Simpson Saga. Mr. Simpson has since written another book, If I Did It, and made a video detailing his side of the story.
Is it ethical to profit from a crime and a trial? Are these contracts a form of making money from the deaths of two people? Many TV stations refused to carry advertisements for Mr. Simpson's video. Would you have declined this advertising revenue?
