Because We Really Need Another OJ Book

mike-gilbert-headshot.jpgWhile I was hanging out at Tools of Change, Observer publishing guy Leon Neyfakh caught the news from the Publishers Marketplace deal wire that an O.J. Simpson crony has a book deal. Mike Gilbert's aptly titled How I Helped O. J. Get Away With Murder will, according to the press release, cover a "late-night confession" Gilbert says Simpson made to him, along with new evidence said to prove Simpson's culpability in the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman and " information on Gilbert's crucial role in obtaining the not guilty verdict and why he stayed silent for so long."

Neither the press release nor the Observer article mention why Gilbert isn't Simpson's licensing agent any longer—a rift that stems from Simpson's belief that Gilbert had stolen several of his personal belongings...the same items that Simpson is accused of attempting to steal at gunpoint last fall from someone else who once did business with them both.
