Prometheus 6

Before HarperCollins pulled the plug on “If I Did It,” Goldman, 66, and his attorneys repeatedly said they wanted to stop Simpson from profiting but also to prevent publication. The Brown family has been adamantly opposed to the book’s publication and apparently will not share in any of the profits.

March 16, 2007 - O.J. Simpson’s hypothetical tell-all book “If I Did It” may be published after all—with the help of murder victim Ronald L. Goldman’s family. A California court ruled Tuesday that proceeds from the auction of the book rights would go to the Goldman family, not Simpson. Simpson was found liable in 1997 for the wrongful deaths of Goldman and O.J.’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, which occured on June 12, 1994. Simpson has paid almost nothing of the $33.5 million judgment (now, with interest, grown to $38 million) he owes to the Goldman and Brown families.
