News Makers: Simpson: 'I was drenched in blood'

A leak of the key chapter from the controversial book If I Did It OJ Simpson's "hypothetical" account of the 1994 murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman has fuelled speculation that the transcript amounts to aconfession.

In the chapter Simpson describes in detail the events before and after the murders on the night of June 12 1994.

He claims his ex-wife came at him like a "banshee", but lost her balance and fell, cracking her head. Her boyfriend Goldman then assumed a karate position, angering Simpson, who dared him to fight. At that point the narrative pauses, and Simpson writes: "Then something went horribly wrong. I know what happened, but I can't tell you how."
