If I Did It, O.J. Simpson's memoir-cum- homicide-handbook, simply refuses to wander off quietly to the place where tastelessly conceived double-murder confessionals go to die. Fred Goldman won the auction rights to the cancelled project, and has been actively shopping the book around town, with the reasoning that the only way to really get back at the man he is convinced killed his son is to have him watch helplessly as the If I Did It-dollars roll in. Making matters even more bizarre, Simpson is now taking Goldman to court to block the auction:

Goldman's attorneys said they contacted Hollywood studios, publishing houses and talent agencies.

The turnaround "shocked'' Nicole Brown's sister Denise, a source close to her told ABC News. A long-standing if uneasy alliance between the two murder victims' families was broken for good.

With an irreparable rift now dividing the two grieving families you stopped caring about 13 years ago, the Simpson case continues to reveal the darkest and most unseemly sides to human nature—something we'll try hard to overlook when we show up to line the victor's pockets dressed as our favorite Simpson trial character (Ito!) to opening day of New Line's If I Did It: The Movie, co-starring Leslie Nielsen as himself.
