A memorabilia dealer has written a book that claims O.J. Simpson confessed to killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994, according to the Associated Press.

      In "How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse," due in stores today, author Mike Gilbert says O.J. had smoked weed, took a sleeping pill and was drinking beer when Simpson told him he didn't bring a knife to his ex-wife's condo on the night in question -- and that, "If she hadn't opened that door with a knife in her hand ... she'd still be alive."

      "Nothing more needed to be said," Gilbert writes. "O.J. had confessed to me. There's no doubt in my mind."

      Gilbert also claims he helped Simpson avoid the murder charges by telling him how to bloat his hands so they wouldn't fit in the infamous Isotoners gloves, according to the AP.

      Simpson's current lawyer Yale Galanter said that all of Gilbert's claims are bogus and that he is "a delusional drug addict who needs money. He's fallen on very hard times. He is in trouble with the IRS."

      "I've talked to O.J. about it," said Galanter, who refused to allow Simpson to comment directly because of his upcoming robbery trial in Las Vegas. "This stuff not only didn't occur but it's not factually supported by the evidence."
