You watch Jerry Springer? That's sick and twisted!! kidding... kidding...
I read a long diatribe by the editor about why she interviewed OJ for this book. I believe she was a murder victim survivor herself, and always felt OJ escaped justice. She decided to do this book to get a "confession" and bring about a form of justice for him.
Apparently there's a psychological mechanism that "makes" us want to confess, and it's often common for murderers to maintain their innoncence, but discuss the murder in terms of "well, IF I did it..." With this in mind, she approached OJ, and he agreed.
That's from memory. It was a very, very long explanation from the editor, and difficult to read, so I probably have some details wrong.
Okay, all that said, I believe the book is totally unethical. Even though I think the editor herself had good motives, the end result was ... dare I say ... evil. The Editor's justification for doing something wrong is just that: justification.
Never been so glad to see a link removed!
