Goldman Family Will Receive Profits From OJ’s Book
It’s hard to believe that a book such as OJ Simpson’s “If I Did It” will actually go to print and be bought by anyone, but assuming that the public wants to read OJ’s side of the story, at least he won’t profit from it.
Today a federal bankruptcy court awarded the family of Ron Goldman 90 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the rights to the book, which is said to be a “confession” from OJ Simpson of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
The remaining 10 percent of the proceeds from the book will go to a trustee for the Simpson estate to pay OJ Simpson’s creditors, which include the Goldman family since he owes them 38 million dollars from the wrongful death suit they brought against him after he was acquitted of the murders in 1995.
The father of Ron Goldman tearfully thanked the court and agreed to drop the family’s 38 million dollar claim to the bottom of the creditor list so that Simpsons other creditors will be paid first.
Initially both the Goldmans and the Browns were adamant that that book should never be published. Goldman has since changed his mind and has decided that the book should be published, as long as Simpson does not receive the profits, so that the public can “hear” him finally admit to the brutal murders.
The family of Nicole Brown Simpson still opposes the publication.
