You Don't Know the Full Truth About O.J. Simpson and the Murders that Gripped a Nation.But Mike Gilbert does, and after nearly two decades of being O.J. Simpson's sports agent, business advisor, and trusted confidant, Gilbert is breaking his silence and telling the full story of the man he idolized, but now despises.Gilbert's shocking tale is unlike anything you've read before; it isn't his "version" of what happened-it's the unvarnished truth. The truth about O.J., the murders, and the infamous trial. Not as Gilbert imagined or would like it to be, but how it actually was. Gilbert doesn't spare anyone, not even himself-he helped deceive the jury and feels deeply responsible for the "Not Guilty" verdict.So why is Gilbert speaking out now? Has he gone from sinner to saint? Is he making a play for sympathy or looking to make a quick buck? No. (Proceeds from this book are going to March of Dimes and other selected charities.)

I picked this up at the library, but let's get this straight -- that's no excuse. There are so many things wrong with this book that IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO USE MY INDOOR VOICE. [Sorry] In fact, I can't think of any altruistic motive -- even cheerful, prurient curiosity -- that will wash away the ...
