Bankruptcy Court Gives Goldman Proceeds From Simpson Book
For all of us waiting anxiously to read O.J. Simpson’s cancelled book, “If I Did It,” we may yet get the chance. A Florida bankruptcy court awarded 90 percent of the proceeds from the book and Simpson’s name and likeness in connection with it, to relatives of murder victim Ron Goldman.
The Goldmans were awarded $33.5 million in a wrongful death action in 1997. According to the Washington Post, the bankruptcy court recently ruled that Lorriane Brooke Associates was formed as a shell company to conceal Simpson’s book earnings from the Goldmans. The Goldmans agreed to give the first ten percent of the first $4 million in gross profits, and a percentage of all proceeds thereafter, to Lorraine Brooks Associates.
A lawyer for the Goldmans said they’re considering changing the name of the book to “Confessions of a Double Murderer.”
