Why we are still waiting on the OJ to confess

What is our fascination with OJ? He was found not guilty by the judicial system.  I am saddened that Oprah thinks that OJ would confess to her.  If OJ got away with murder, he will take that with him to his grave. OJ is locked up for a very long time. Can we just let him serve out his time in peace?

There were rumors flooding the media that Oprah Winfrey had landed a jailhouse murder confession from O.J. Simpson. According to the Daily Mail via the National Enquirer, the NFL player turned actor turned murder suspect was ready to admit to killing his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.

On June 12, 1994, Brown and Goldman were found dead outside her home. Simpson was tried for the double-murder and was acquitted. At a recent convention, Oprah said such a confession was her dream: "And I am going to make that happen people," she said. "I don't just want the interview. I want the interview on the condition that you are ready, Mr. Simpson."

But it was not to be. It turns out there is no confession from Simpson. Rather, it was a hoax. Nevertheless, it is telling that the world's biggest media personality listed an O.J. confession as her ultimate dream. Combined with the lingering attention paid to this 17-year-old case -- June 17 marked the anniversary of O.J.'s infamous high-speed car chase in his white Chevy Bronco, which interrupted coverage of the NBA finals -- it tells you that the O.J. trial is still on people's minds. O.J. is behind bars as you read this piece, for a kidnapping and robbery conviction in an unrelated case.

Yet, in a classic example of tending to unfinished business, arguably unreasonable, perhaps, some people out there still want to hear him say "I did it."
