I wonder if OJ is ‘exonerated’ too? If I am not mistaken, it’s no lie to say that OJ is a murderer after he lost the lawsuit, right? [Not entirely sure myself.]
IIRC, Simpson was found not guilty in his criminal trial, but was then retried in civil court by Ron Goldman's parents for "wrongful death", and he lost that lawsuit. The court apparently found that there was cause to consider him culpable for the death of Ron. I do not know if Nicole's parents also joined the lawsuit. But I have seen Ron Goldman's father on TV just recently, when OJ was in trouble again, saying that OJ had never paid the fines levied in that judgement.
