Book rights of O.J. Simpson's 'If I Did It' go to victim’s dad
Legal problems
A federal bankruptcy judge Friday
awarded Ron Goldman’s family the rights to O.J. Simpson’s canceled
book, “If I Did It,” which the Goldmans want to rename “Confessions of
a Double Murderer.”
Goldman was slain along with Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994. The Goldmans want the book’s proceeds included as part of a nearly $33.5 million civil jury award they have been trying to collect for almost a decade.
The ruling “ensures that Mr. Simpson will never see another dime from this book,” said Paul Battista, an attorney for the Goldman family. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge A. Jay Cristol ruled that Lorraine Brooke Associates, which owned the rights to the book, can be considered as belonging to the former football star. The company is run by Simpson’s daughter, Arnelle.
