Since his release from prison, O.J. Simpson has been cashing in on autographs. He should pay the money toward a wrongful death judgment that now exceeds $70 million, according to a lawyer for the family of Fred Goldman, whose son was killed in 1994 along with Simpson’s ex-wife. Attorney David Cook is asking a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to order Simpson to hand over all future money he makes from celebrity appearances or autographing sports memorabilia to satisfy the judgment in the wrongful deaths of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, reports Associated Press. Simpson was acquitted of two counts of murder in the 1994 murders. However, a civil court jury found him liable and ordered him to pay $33.5 million. That amount has doubled over two decades. Fred Cook says that Simpson has never willingly paid a cent of the court order. Simpson, 70, served nine years in Nevada state prison for armed robbery and assault with a weapon.
