I like the title change.
Yeah, really - half a story. Does he get to keep the $630,000 advance?
Sweet.
Very good question! The judge in this case said the fraud was deliberate. That must be a crime.
Article:
Now a judge has found Simpson deliberately tried to hide profits he made from the book, principally his $630,000 (£320,000) advance, in a shell company run by one of his daughters to avoid it being put towards the settlement.blam:
So, will OJ and his daughter be charged with a crime?
Who is the mother of this daughter? Nicole?
OK, they got the civil conviction re-establishing justice after the criminal court travesty - good for them. They stripped OJ of his ill-gotten gain - kewl. (Bill and Hill get to keep theirs, however.) Now they plan to peddle OJ’s trash albeit with a fresh cover? Whoops, they just went from victim to perp status in my book. Ok, perp is the wrong word but I think you get the point.
I hope somebody sends this article to Mike Nifong. It’s the sort of thing that’s going to be happening to him for the rest of his life.
A judge already ordered the bankrupt company owned by Simpson’s children to turn over any copies of the book in which the former NFL star explains how he might have committed the killings of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
Goldman’s family wants to rename the book Confessions of a Double Murderer and sell it to collect part of the $33.5 million they won nearly a decade after a civil jury found Simpson liable for Goldman’s death.
But the Goldmans’ case has been snarled with canceled depositions and other hurdles.
Goldman attorneys have given up trying to depose O.J. Simpson after he canceled at the last minute two weeks ago. Goldman attorney Paul Battista said the Simpsons have failed to comply with court orders, including turning over copies of the book.
“They simply don’t want to play by the rules,” Battista said. “I’ve never seen as much contempt of court as I’ve seen in this case with the debtor.”
Simpson’s oldest daughter, Arnelle, is named as the head of Lorraine Brooke Associates, which owns the book’s rights.
Arnelle Simpson’s attorney, Kendrick Whittle, said his client does not have copies of the book. He said Goldman family attorneys were present when a trustee took her deposition and she should not be forced to “sit there and explain her life story in front of a camera,” again.
But U.S. Bankruptcy Judge A. Jay Cristol ordered Arnelle Simpson and an attorney for her father to give depositions by Friday, when a hearing is supposed to start.
The attorney, Leonardo Starke, is believed to be holding about $3,500 for Simpson in a client trust account in Florida, where the former NFL star lives.
Good question.
