Poll question: Will you buy OJ's book now that the Goldmans own it/will receive the profits?
O.J.’s book rights go to victim’s dad
Goldmans want to rename the book ‘Confessions of a Double Murderer’

A federal bankruptcy judge Friday awarded Ron Goldman’s family the rights to O.J. Simpson’s canceled book, “If I Did It,” which the Goldmans want to rename “Confessions of a Double Murderer.”

{snip}

The ruling “ensures that Mr. Simpson will never see another dime from this book,” said Paul Battista, an attorney for the Goldman family.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge A. Jay Cristol ruled that Lorraine Brooke Associates, which owned the rights to the book, can be considered as belonging to the former football star. The company is run by Simpson’s daughter, Arnelle.

O.J. Simpson’s book contract with HarperCollins, and a money trail showing $630,000 transferred from the publisher to LBA and then to Simpson for his expenses, confirm his connection to the company, Cristol said.

LBA was “clearly accomplished to perpetuate a fraud,” Cristol said.

3. Neither of the families got anything.
OJ moved to Florida because of their laws. He continues to stay there, laughing at his victims families, and thumbing his nose at the law. He is an arrogant prick.

Let them get anything they can from him. It is their only avenue to justice.

I won't be buying the book, but I am glad for this small measure of victory for the families.

2. No.
I'm sorry for their loss but I don't feel that it is my responsibility to contribute to the civil liability that OJ incurred.
