UK Daily Mail "O.J. Simpson's former lawyer and an investigator who worked on his case have revealed plans for a book they say will finally put to rest the public's disbelief that he was acquitted of murder.
"F.Lee Bailey was one of several lawyers who worked on Simpson's case in the 1990s.
"He was brought on by the lead counsel Robert Shapiro after Simpson was charged with murdering his estranged wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.
"Simpson was acquitted in 1995 but, since he was released from prison in Nevada earlier this year on separate charges, his old defense team say the public interest and scrutiny which they experienced during 'the trial of the century', has been revived.
"Now 84, Bailey and Pat McKenna, the investigator who the defense hired, are shopping a book to publishers which they say will finally address what millions have been incredulous over for decades - how did OJ get off? " . . .

"'Never in my life have I been punished more for getting an acquittal.
"'Lawyers and judges have remonstrated with me for prostituting my talents because, they say, I was the reason O.J. got acquitted,' he complained.
"He said prosecutor Marcia Clarke was 'not the brightest lawyer I ever met' and that she and the LAPD put forward a 'BS' case. " . . .
