O.J. gives 'hypothetical' accounts of 1994 murders in 2006 FOX interview
Warning: Video contains graphic content
In a never-before-seen interview aired on FOX, O.J. Simpson described a hypothetical account of his involvement in the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.
The two-hour special "O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession?" hosted by Soledad O’Brien, featured Simpson's 2006 conversation with Judith Regan, who published his 2007 book "If I Did It." The program also included a panel of analysts, including Christopher Darden, one of the prosecutors from Simpson's criminal trial.
In the bizarre interview, Simpson speculated about the night of June 12, 1994, when Brown and Goldman were murdered.

Simpson was clear to state his account is purely "hypothetical," and it nearly left the FOX panel speechless.

While the "Juice" did his best to avoid implicating himself, he made sure to illustrate the effects the event had on his life.

The public has long been split on Simpson's guilt, and this special is no sure bet to alter already-strong opinions.
