When Simpson died, his NFL pension was $19,000 a month.
I believe that various state and federal laws block civil lawsuits from extracting money directly from pension payments.
However, some states allow property - like homes and cars - to be seized, if they were purchased with pension money.
Solution - lease everything you need.
I do not know what the law is for stocks and bonds and CDs that were purchased with pension money - maybe the income or the capital gains can be seized?
Maybe you just have to keep all your money in your checking account or in cash?
That may be part of the problem, I suspect it’s very simple, its old fashion greed, the Lawyer is probably still billing OJ’s estate for his legal services, the longer he fights the Goldman family, the more money he makes, he’s probably thinking, Simpon’s estate will likely have to pay the Goldmans a bunch of money, if I make a couple million more in legal fees, why not ??
Plus accrued interest.
Can someone tell me something? How come OJ’s skin tone became darker in his old age? Is this common? He used to be quite light-skinned, sometimes looking lighter skinned than the swarthy, sweltering George Kennedy in the NG movies.
Yes.
But, what lunatic would loan money to a guy with a $30 million judgment hanging over his finances and his estate?
I feel sorry for the attorneys on FR. I had a dialogue with a nice one.
They have to live down the type of reputation that this lowlife gives to the profession.
I know...I saw the same thing.
I hate our legal system.
Good points. However, having practiced law in Las Vegas, ethics and the legal system are often miles apart.
To me this seemed to be a form of double-jeopardy. If you can't get the person for the crime, then get a jury to retry the case as a civil violation.
Then there is also now a form of triple-jeopardy where they can get you for somehow violating someone's civil rights. So maybe you're technically innocent of killing someone, but you can be found guilty of violating their constitutional right to life.
No matter that we are all certain that OJ killed Nicole, and no matter how much we wish he had been executed or at least drained of all his money, this is the sort of thing that is now used regularly against anyone who defies the Deep State.
Step One: Try the person for a crime he didn't commit.
Step Two: Try the person for violating some obscure reading of the Constitution or Title IX
Step Three: Sue the person for vaguely defined damages
I believe that the hatred for OJ has boomeranged on us and is now aimed at us.
He spent his entire life searching for the killers of his wife when he wasn’t in jail or with a prostitute.
Because he was traversing the nation's golf courses for the real killers don't you know.
They’re judgment creditors, not secured creditors
I wonder how much of their starting capital came from OJ.

I recall that OJ bought real estate in ‘homestead’ states where he could hide those assets from the Goldman’s.
Now that OJ is dead, he is no longer a ‘homesteader’ and that real estate can be claimed by the Goldman’s.
Huh? Wrongful death causes of action have always been available. It’s not a matter of unanimity of the jury; it’s the standard of proof. Criminal cases are beyond a Reasonable doubt and civil are preponderance of the evidence. And double jeopardy is defined in the Constitution: it’s being tried twice for the same crime. Civil actions are not criminal actions. I think OJ did it beyond a reasonable doubt, but it can’t be reasonably asserted that the killing could be shown by the preponderance of the evidence as as to support a civil judgment
Got it.
Thanks.
At least now he can rest easy knowing that Nicole’s killer is dead . . .
Doesn’t OJ’s family want to see his victims compensated?
This.
This is not the case in the United States where the burden of proof in a civil case is less than the burden in a criminal case.
