January 15, 2007 -- The controversial shelved book "If I Did It" - the so-called make-believe account by O.J. Simpson of how he would have killed his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman - describes her as the "enemy" who came at him like a "banshee" the night her throat was slit, according to excerpts leaked to Newsweek magazine.
The book, which provoked a public outcry and was never published, includes in the key chapter "The Night in Question" a play-by-play account of what could have happened the night of June 12, 1994.
Much of his "fictional" account coincides with the bloody evidence presented at the sensational trial.
Using what Newsweek describes as the "crude, expletive-laced . . . classic language of a wife abuser," Simpson suggests Nicole Brown Simpson all but drove him to kill her.
He describes her as the "enemy . . . taunting him with her sexual dalliances . . . and carrying on inappropriately in front of their two children," Newsweek says.
On the "night in question," Simpson says he had left his daughter Sydney's dance recital "in a foul mood . . . stewing over the behavior of his ex-wife," the report says.
"He races to Nicole's Bundy Drive condo before boarding a plane to Chicago.
"He parks in the dark alley behind her condo and dons the knit wool cap and gloves he keeps handy to ward off the chill on the golf course," according to the magazine's account of the book.
"He also has a knife in the Bronco . . . for protection against L.A. 'crazies.' He intends to scare her.
"He enters through a broken gate and encounters Goldman."
Simpson accuses Goldman of planning a sexual encounter with Nicole, which Goldman denies. Nicole tells Simpson to leave Ron alone. Goldman's fate is sealed when Kato, Nicole's Akita, emerges and gives [Goldman] a friendly tail wag, according to Newsweek.
" 'You've been here before,' the killer screams at Goldman.
Simpson says when he regains control of himself, "he realizes he is drenched in blood and holding a bloody knife," Newsweek says.
