O.J. Day

I read this book last year & could not put it down. I borrowed it from our local library but will eventually get around to buying my own copy. Hank Goldberg certainly has put a lot of hard work into making sure he has covered everything in regards to the trial- not bad considering he was brought in late on the case. I highly recommend this book & can't wait to read it again myself. I would really like to meet Hank.

The best explanation of the prosecution's tactics I've read

Hank Goldberg was one of the least-known prosecutors in the first Simpson trial, and partly for that reason his book didn't cause much stir. That's a shame, since it reveals much about the prosecution's strategy and mind-set. The book can be read not only as an indictment of Simpson, but also as a fascinating description of preparations for trial. Goldberg has at least as good of a tactical sense as was revealed by Marcia Clark in "Without a Doubt," and has a much better grasp of the case itself than was shown by Christopher Darden in the overrated "In Contempt." Goldberg is one of the few players in the Simpson saga that actually seems to enjoy his job; if I were involved in a lawsuit, I'd want him representing me.

This book is truly good!

I have just finished reading Hank Goldberg's book, and I think it is one of the best (factual) books I have ever read. Mr. Goldberg counts the evidence and the different steps taken in the trial in a most clearheaded and lucid way. On top of that, he also shows that he is a thinker when he explains the reasons why O.J. in his opinion was set free by the jury. This book is one to be recommended to anyone who enjoys intelligently and profoundly written facts
