Denise Brown, the sister of the late Nicole Brown Simpson is calling for a boycott of the O.J. Simpson book "If I Did It". She says she is "shocked and horrified" that Fred Goldman had reached a deal to publish the controversial book which describes how O.J. would have brutally murdered his own wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994 -- if he had done it.
Last month a federal bankruptcy judge awarded rights to the book to Ron Goldman's family to help satisfy a $38 million wrongful death judgment against Simpson.
It will be published with Simpson's original manuscript intact and include commentary. The Goldmans and the publisher will donate portions of sales proceeds to the newly formed Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice to help victims of violent crime.
In her statement, Brown accused Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, and other family members of hypocrisy for publishing a book that he had called "disgusting and despicable" when Simpson first planned to publish it last November.
David Cook, an attorney for Goldman, called Brown inconsistent for denouncing the publishing plan after lawyers for her and her family sought a share of possible profits from the book for themselves.

O.J. is still drawing the attention to keep anyone from figuring out the truth with this book. All the drama in the past protected the guilty.Show biz worked in the past so why stop now? Why was O.J.'s son never investigated? Didn't he already have a history of pulling knifes on people. Was he not mad at Nicole when his mother and step dad ended up on the street because O.J. would not give them money using Nicole as an excuse. Was he not staying in the guest house? Would his blood not be similar to O.J. Was his alibi found to be false the night of the murders? O.J. has not changed he is still protecting his own. He lost one child. He will not let anything happen to the remaining children. He is back to his dramatics to draw any attention to him and away from his son.
