Members of Simpson's camp pronounced themselves satisfied with his performance. "It's O.J. just being himself," says a source. "The guy asking the questions didn't know what to ask him, so O.J. pretty much tells the story the way he wants it to be told. I'd say it's a B or a B-plus performance." Yet his attorneys reportedly tried to talk Simpson out of doing the interview (as they did three months ago, when he agreed to and later backed out of an interview with NBC's Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric).

Meanwhile, Becker, who was paid what he calls a "not exorbitant'' five-figure fee, is valiantly defending his role in this dubious enterprise. Though he admits he had little time to prepare questions, he insists there were no restrictions on what he could ask (outside of four taboo areas: Simpson's kids, his finances, the upcoming civil trial and attorney-client discussions). He also says he kept a copy of the uncut interview and will "blow the whistle" if it is distorted by editing.

The court has ruled that the transcripts can be released later...
...York Post reports today that Simpson's lawyers are expected to pin the gruesome crime on accused serial killer Glen Rogers. The Post says that Simpson's attorneys will argue that crimes committed by Rogers are similar to the Simpson/Goldman murders, and that Rogers, who painted a house a few doors from Mrs. Simpson's Brentwood condominium, was acquainted with, and even dated, Simpson's ex-wife. Police are discounting this theory...
