Before his death, OJ Simpson made a joke about "confessing" that has now resurfaced.
The former NFL running back and acquitted murderer made a joke about "confessing" on an episode of the 'It Is What It Is' podcast, which has resurfaced. The comment came after OJ was asked about basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal claiming that "men shouldn’t open up to women... they’ll use it against them."
OJ said: "When you say ‘open up to women,’ I don’t know what he’s talking about. Is he talking about confessing? Then no man, don't confess."

Another wrote: "Even near the end of life still laughing and joking like it was prank and not the end of two people's lives. Juice, writing a book called "If I did it" in 2007. It just blows the mind."
OJ was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman after they were found stabbed to death outside her Los Angeles home in 1994. The trial was televised in the United States and made headlines everywhere.
A jury found OJ not guilty after eight months, concluding at the beginning of October 1995. It made history as the first televised live trial, with 100 million viewers tuning in to watch the highly-anticipated verdict.
