While speaking on a Christian radio talk show today, the aggrieved father said he would renounce his claim to the damages Simpson has been ordered to pay his family if the former football star issues a signed, detailed confession that he killed Ronald Goldman. Steering clear of directly naming Simpson as the culprit, Goldman said, "The suggestion is that if the person . . . that murdered my son wants to write out a complete confession and publish it in newspapers around the country, we'll be glad to ignore the judgment."

I might not stop her, but I would certainly slow her down. I didn't go the confession route, either.
