The Goldman's continue to be a thorn in the side of
O.J. Simpson or like one of his old football injuries
that will not go away. In their latest bid to collect
on a multi-million dollar jury award a superior court
judge has denied the Goldman's action on the memorabilia
that's the center of O.J.'s latest brush with the law. I myself
don't think the Goldman's should get a penny but thats my
opinion and you know what they say about opinions. But
still let's hear yours.
A Superior Court judge tentatively denied a request today by the father of murder victim Ron Goldman to take O.J. Simpson's earnings from everything from autograph signings to video games to satisfy a multi-million-dollar legal judgment awarded 11 years ago.
Instead, Judge Gerald Rosenberg gave Fred Goldman's lawyer, David Cook, one week to come up with a list of sports memorabilia items the former football star was accused of stealing last week from a Las Vegas hotel room.
Simpson was acquitted in criminal court of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Goldman, but a civil court jury found him liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5 million. The award remains largely unpaid.
Simpson, who has been in and out of the spotlight since he was acquitted of murder, was in jail in Nevada on Tuesday on the robbery charges. Another man facing similar charges in the case said he believes the former football great was set up. He said the memorabilia dealer who tipped Simpson off that he may have had some of his collectibles recorded the hotel-room confrontation that led to Simpson's arrest.
"It sounds like a setup to me," Walter Alexander, 46, told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday. He said Simpson had thought the memorabilia belonged to him after getting a call from the dealer.
Meanwhile, one of the memorabilia dealers who spoke publicly about the incident on Monday, describing Simpson and a group of men coming into a hotel room "commando style," was hospitalized with chest pains.
Bruce Fromong was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where a hospital spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a call seeking information about his condition.
Simpson was arrested on six felonies, including two counts of robbery with use of a deadly weapon. If convicted, he could receive up to 30 years in state prison on each robbery count.
