O.J. Simpson may be out of prison, but he’s still being haunted by his past debts – as the father of Ron Goldman is still chasing him for that $70 million settlement.
The disgraced football star was released from prison last year, after serving nearly 10 years for armed robbery and kidnapping.
However, it has now been revealed that O.J. still owes Fred Goldman for the the wrongful death settlement of his son, Ron.
On Tuesday, Fred Goldman appeared in court in a bid to collect some of O.J.’S memorabilia profits to satisfy the $70 million judgment, but unfortunately the court denied his request for restitution, saying that he first needs to identify who is paying O.J.
Ron Goldman was famously murdered alongside O.J. Simpson’s estranged wife, Nicole Brown, in 1994.
In what was dubbed the “trial of the century”, O.J. was acquitted of two counts of murder, but he later lost a $33.5 million wrongful death civil court lawsuit in 1997, and that judgment has since doubled.
Since O.J. left prison, he has reportedly been selling autographs for cash, however, his lawyer has claimed that O.J. used that money to pay his legal fees, and claimed that the former sports star has no interest in selling autographs for personal profit.
Fred Goldman has been fighting for restitution for decades, and although he hasn’t received the full payment, he has managed to seize some of O.J.’s assets, including video game royalties and the rights to the book ‘If I Did It’, a ghostwritten account in which O.J. tells how he might have killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.
