The ESPN documentary “O.J. Made In America” is set to premiere next week on the cable network as well as ABC and the anticipation is pretty crazy for it. After the FX series “The People V O.J. Simpson” wowed audiences over the course of ten weeks recently, interest in the case is back as high as it was during the trial itself. One of the people featured in the doc is Simpson’s long time friend and former police officer, Ron Shipp, and while he was at the Los Angeles premiere of the doc, he spoke with the New York Daily News and revealed he believes if O.J. is released from prison in Nevada by next year that a confession to the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman will be coming.

Shipp said back during the trial itself he had too much love for Simpson to be able to see him in a negative light and had mixed feelings about it. More than twenty years later, he no longer has those same feelings and sees things much clearer.
“The guy is in total torment today,” Shipp said. “Someone told me he is 300 pounds and he looks horrible. O.J. has always felt his appearance meant everything and now, deep down inside, he is starting to live with himself.”
“I hope one day he actually will rid us of all the doubt and all the conspiracy theories and say ‘sorry I cannot go to prison [because of double jeopardy laws], but I am sorry I did it,'” Shipp said, adding that he recently got a call regarding a conspiracy theory involving Simpson’s son, Jason. “I thought, man, come on Juice, just say ‘my son didn’t do it.'”
Shipp may or may not be on to something but only O.J. knows if he will ever confess. True he can not get in trouble for it at this point but even in his older age, I don’t think he can live with people calling him a murderer for a fact, even though we all do it now anyway.
