Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has ditched plans for a controversial book by OJ Simpson and televised interview with him.
In the book and programme, called ‘If I Did It’, sicko Simpson details how he would have killed his ex-wife and her friend if he’d been responsible.
Following outraged to the twisted plans, Murdoch has apologised saying: he is "sorry for any pain this has caused".
Simpson was cleared of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994.
Judith Regan, publisher of ReganBooks, owned by Murdoch's News Corp, had said she considered the book to be Simpson's confession.
"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project,” Murdoch says.
"We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."
During the interview, sicko Simpson goes into detail about how he would have committed the murders at his ex-wife's home in Los Angeles "if he were the one responsible".
The victims’ families have made their views on the book and interview clear.
"It's an insult to my family; it's an insult to Nicole's family; it's an insult to every right-thinking human being," Ronald Goldman's father, Fred Goldman said.
"The fact that he is going to breathe Ron's name or the Goldman name or Nicole's name in some kind of correlation with how he would have done it - there's nothing that's OK about this whole thing to me," Ronald’s sister, Kim, says.
