BRIDGETON, Missouri (AP) -- O.J. Simpson has been ordered to hand over any earnings from a private autograph-signing event to the mother of Ronald Goldman because of a civil verdict that found Simpson liable for his slaying.

Simpson, served with the court papers Saturday before he left the St. Louis suburb of Bridgeton, suggested he would not pay anything to Ronald Goldman's mother, Sharon Rufo.

"Simpson was acquitted of murder charges in the 1994 stabbing deaths of his wife..."

...because of moronicly stupid jury and lunetic justice system that can be bought by the rich and famous.

When I first read this I thought it was an order to surrender his earrings.

[cateizgr8]

I agree...I also believe "they" were afraid of another "Rodney King like riot" if he had been found guilty.

A finding of a criminal jury, not guilty, is not a finding of innocence. When will O.J. understand that the free ride is over; he too, even he, black athlete extraordinaire and Grade B film personage, is actually subject to the law?

It was a farce. What I learned back in 1994 (and I was 13) was, that O.J.´s acquittal was due to a mainly black jury, which has blackmailed the white jurors: either you vote for acquittal, or we will be jurors forever!

The race card was pulled & that sick SOB got away with murder! He had cut his wife's throat so deep that she had be practically decapitated.

He is, is he? We'll see how much money he turns over. No, I doubt law applies to him. Similarly, did Al Sharpton, democrat running for President of the United States ever pay one dime of the judgement against him for slander? No, after stalling for 5 years some of his "supporters" stepped forward and payed it for him.

Former NYC mayor David Dinkins (D) forgot to pay his taxes for four years until he got caught because he was running for mayor. Did he get in any trouble, no he simply used the I forgot excuse and moved on.

I wonder how much a OJ autograph is worth. I have one from years & years ago. It's on an old restaurant ticket with other signatures, Pete Rose, Bubba #00 and others that I can't read.

It´s a dam-ed thing to pull the race/minority card. It happens everywhere - in some countries with arms, in others through the media and lobbyists.

[cateizgr8]

Probably quite a bit. I only hope that he ends up lonely, broke, starving & living in a dumpster.

[Michael81Dus]

If he had been fried on the chair, it would be 150+ - but now, that he´s still alive and signs autographs... maybe 0.50??

Too bad Cecil (Cedric the Entertainer) from the movie "Barbershop" wasn't on the jury.

They's three things you gotta understand. Number one: Rodney King deserved to get the crap beat out of him for driving around doped up and drunk. Number two: O.J. was guilty. Number three: Rosa Parks didn't do nothing. She sat down on the bus cause she was tired.

And his best line of the movie: "F*** Jesse Jackson.

Was I surprised when I saw this movie last night on DVD.

Funniest thing I have seen in a long time!

I'll have to check that out :)

"...because of moronicly stupid jury..."

Oh, make no mistake...that jury wasn't "stupid", just extremely prejudiced.
