In 1994 Simpson was notoriously tried for the murder of his ex-wife and her friend, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

Public outcry - headed by Fred Goldman (Ron Goldman's father) - lead to the cancellation of the publishing. However, later, the Goldmans were awarded the rights to the book to help satisfy the unpaid $38 million wrongful death judgment against Simpson. The Goldmans retitled the book "''If I Did It: Confessions of a Killer''", and published it. This has also raised opposition, including from Nicole Simpson's sister, Denise Brown, who argue that the book's contents are too vile to be published.<ref name="Published2" />
