OJ Simpson ~ still not making any friends
Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2004 11:21 am
A defiant O.J. Simpson vowed yesterday he would rather "play golf" for the rest of his life than pay Fred Goldman a dime toward the $33.5 million civil judgment he owes for allegedly killing Goldman's son Ron and ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. "If I have to work to pay them, then I won't work. It's that simple," Simpson, 57, told a TV crew. "So I'll just play golf every day."
Simpson's tirade came as a judge ordered a pal of the ex-football star's to fork over Simpson's press passes to the 1984 Olympics for possible sale to help satisfy the judgment.
Simpson also took his cruelest potshot to date at Fred Goldman, saying "he didn't care about his son when he was alive" and accusing the dad of trying to "make money" off his son "in the grave."
The accusations rolled off Goldman, who called Simpson "a liar and a murderer" on MSNBC's "The Abrams Report."
Alfred Beardsley, a businessman from Burbank, Calif., said he had "no clue" what Simpson's Olympic passes, from his days as a TV sportscaster, would fetch. But he said other Simpson memorabilia items - seized from a storage locker last month - would go for as little as $125 each.
In 1997, a civil jury found Simpson responsible for the 1994 stabbing deaths of his ex-wife and her friend Goldman, who were found dead outside her Brentwood condo.
A criminal jury previously acquitted him of murder charges.
The civil jury ordered Simpson to pay $33.5 million in damages to the victims' families, but so far, only about $500,000 has been collected from the sale of Simpson's personal property, including his Heisman trophy, which sold for $250,000.
Simpson lives in a $575,000 house in Florida and collects about $28,000 to $30,000 a month from his NFL pension and an annuity. By law, that money cannot be touched by the victims' lawyers.
