O.J. Simpson's win-loss record is getting a little hazy.
A Los Angeles judge ruled Tuesday that all residuals that go to Simpson for past movie and television appearances be turned over to the family of murder victim Ron Goldman, a decision that led both parties to declare victory.
"Last year Simpson's royalty checks frm all of his movies were less than 39 cents," Simpson attorney Yale Galanter said after court. "They got kicked to the curb again. Every door they're banging on gets slammed."
Galanter was gallantly referring to the Goldman family's decade-long attempt to collect on the $33.5 million wrongful-death judgment awarded to them and to the family of Nicole Brown Simpson in 1997. The Goldmans have maintained that they have received next to nothing frm Simpson, who blew a huge chunk of his fortune on legal expenses but has a $4 million NFL pension that the courts can't touch. |
