What's up with Fred Goldman?

That news whore OJ Simpson has been at it again this time going "Rainbow Six" on a couple of guys who allegedly stole his stuff. Does anyone else find it a bit odd the entire episode was taped? When OJ busted in did the victim say, "Juice, wait a sec...I want to record this for the kids!"

So now Fred Goldman wants the supposedly stolen memorabilia. Does anyone else find THIS a bit odd. OJ writes this book detailing how he would have done it (WOULD have? Really?). When the Goldmans got wind of the plans, they called "If I Did It" "despicable" and "disgusting." I guess it wasn't despicable enough to get the rights to the book and then decide to publish it. On Oprah's show last Thursday, Fred Goldman defended publishing the book by stating, "Every penny we can take away from this monster is a piece of justice." So if you want to take away every penny from OJ that's already been done. There's no need to actually publish the book.

Or maybe Fred Goldman is trying to help other woman. During his time with Oprah, he said '"I hope that one single woman in an abusive relationship reads this book and says, 'God, that could be me. I have to get out and save my own life,'" Goldman said. "One single woman will be worth it."'

Here's what he told Fox News: “It was very disturbing and bothersome to me to read the words of the man that murdered my son,” Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman, told FOX News. "These are his words. We can take his words and show him to be the monster that he is." So then publish it on the Internet for everyone to read.

So which one is it, Fred? You're suddenly looking to help abused women or you want to keep OJ from profiting from the murder of your son? The guy wins a $38 million civil suit against OJ, which he's never going to get. Somehow I don't think that was his plan anyways unless he figured $38 million was about the worth of his son. Goldman already won by getting the rights to the book.

Maybe we'll see a movie soon and Fred Goldman will be on the red carpet talking about how he didn't want OJ to profit. And in the meantime maybe he'll be rolling up in his limo and designer suit. I'd be interested to see where this money is going. If he wants to honor the memory of his son I hope he is giving any money he gets from the book to a good cause. Except this latest attempt to get some goods that might not even be OJ's screams of greed and nothing about seeking justice.
