In 1994, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were brutally murdered at her home in Brentwood, California. Orenthal James Simpson (O.J. Simpson) was tried for the crime in a case that captured the attention of the American people, but was ultimately found not guilty of criminal charges. The victims' families brought civil cases against Orenthal James Simpson, (O.J. Simpson) in which he was found liable for willfully and wrongfully causing the deaths of Ron and Nicole by committing battery with malice and oppression.
In 2006, years after Orenthal James Simpson (OJ Simpson) was found liable in civil court for the deaths of Ron and Nicole, HarperCollins announced the publication for a book in which O J Simpson told how he
hypothetically would have committed the murders. In response to public outrage that O J Simpson stood to profit from these brutal crimes, HarperCollins canceled the book. A Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the Goldmans in August 2007 to partially satisfy the unpaid civil judgment, which has risen, with interest, to over $38 million.
