Guests: Prosecutor Christopher Darden & Detective Tom Lange
"Rock bottom has arrived as O.J. Simpson is being paid to speculate about the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, murders a civil court ruled he committed. Simpson will reportedly receive three-and-a-half million dollars to detail how he would have murdered the two if he did it. Since Nicole was the mother of his children, the horror of this is evident to any decent person. But Fox TV and a publisher believe they can make money on the project, so it is on. Add to that the Kansas late-term abortion situation where hundreds, perhaps thousands, of viable babies are being terminated by a doctor named George Tiller. Combined with Simpson, you have two atrocities before the American public. This is about real human beings being butchered and Americans profiting from those deaths. In ancient Rome society collapsed when Romans basically said no boundaries, any brutality is acceptable. We have almost reached that point, so here's what I'm going to do as a citizen. I'm not going to watch the Simpson show or even look at the book. If any company sponsors the TV program, I will not buy anything that company sells, ever. If everybody walked away from the O.J. garbage, it wouldn't happen. It's on us - what kind of a country do we want? Remember that question if you are tempted to watch the Simpson special."
The Factor welcomed two men who were central figures in the Simpson case - prosecutor Christopher Darden and detective Tom Lange. Lange recalled the grisly details of the murders. "The likely scenario is that Simpson was lying in wait, probably in bushes. Ron Goldman approaches and is attacked by Simpson, who begins to slash and stab him. Simpson goes over to Nicole, stabs and slashes her, and at one point grabs her by the hair and slices her throat, nearly decapitating her." Darden said there is absolutely no doubt about Simpson's guilt, and was infuriated by the book and TV special. "I am outraged, as I think millions of other Americans are. He puts money above all else - to force his kids to re-live these events and to confront the fact that their father executed their mother. I don't think he has an ounce of morals. He's a despicable human being."
