There's probably a reason the newspaper has the sobriquet of the Daily Fail, but the Mail is reporting something confirmed by additional sources. Like the National Enquirer. Anyway, breaking news: OJ did it. Allegedly. He says. Allegedly. Oh, whatever.

Why now? Because it's been weighing so heavily on his conscience all these years? Who knows. Money. Desire for attention. Need to fine-tune his rep so his deluded defenders will cling to the "self-defense" theory as proof he's really some sort of hero / victim. Really, he didn't have any choice. She came at him with a knife, what's he supposed to do? Run away, and not kill the other man in the house? Like that's even an option.
