O.J. Simpson's arrest for armed robbery in Las Vegas has had a fantastic effect on the book sales of his infamous faux memoir, If I Did It: sales are booming.
Late Tuesday afternoon Las Vegas prosecutors filed 10 felony counts against author O.J. Simpson and his cohorts, including surprise charges of assault and kidnapping in connection with the robbery of Simpson sports memorabilia from two memorabilia dealers. Simpson is due for arraignment in Las Vegas this morning. Simpson claims that the memorabilia was his and he was just retrieving it.
Meanwhile, back in New York, Beaufort Books announced that it was going back to press for an additional 50,000 copies. "The arrest brought the whole question of O.J. and the law back into everybody's consciousness," Beaufort owner Eric Kampmann told the AP.
If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer is now #2 on Amazon.com's bestseller list today. We cannot believe that we're going to be subjected to another O.J. Simpson criminal trial! What is wrong with this guy, anyway? Could it be that escaping justice once made him even cockier, to the point where he thought it would be ok to conduct his own "sting" operation to get some sports memorabilia back at the point of a gun?
