In 1989, Simpson pleaded no contest to a domestic violence charge and was
separated from Nicole Brown, to whom he was paying child support. On June 12,
1994 Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman were found dead outside Brown's
condominium. Simpson was soon charged with their murders. After failing to turn
himself in, he became the object of a low-speed pursuit. The pursuit, arrest and
trial were among the most widely publicized in American history. The trial,
often characterized as being "the trial of the century", culminated on October
3, 1995 in a verdict of not guilty for the two murders. The verdict was seen
live on TV by more than half of the U.S. population, making it one of the most
watched events in American TV history. Immediate reaction to the verdict was
noted for its division along racial lines.

Civil trial On February 5, 1997 a civil jury in Santa Monica, California
found Simpson liable for the wrongful death of Ronald Goldman, battery against
Ronald Goldman, and battery against Nicole Brown. The attorney for plaintiff
Fred Goldman (father of Ronald Goldman) was Daniel Petrocelli. Simpson was
ordered to pay $33,500,000 in damages. However, California law protects pensions
from being used to satisfy judgments, so Simpson was able to continue much of
his lifestyle based on his NFL pension. In February 1999 an auction of Simpson's
Heisman Trophy and other belongings netted almost $500,000. The money went to
the Goldman family.[1] His payment for appearing in the video game All Pro
Football 2K8 was also seized. A 2000 Rolling Stone article reported that Simpson
also still makes a significant income by signing autographs. He subsequently
moved from California to Miami, Florida. In Florida, a person's residence cannot
be seized to collect a debt under most
circumstances.

Related litigation The civil and criminal trials of Simpson were not the only
important legal cases that were spawned by the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson
and Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994.

On September 5, 2006, Ron Goldman's father took Simpson back to court to
obtain control over his "right to publicity" for purposes of satisfying the
judgment in the civil court case.[1] On January 4, 2007 a federal judge issued a
restraining order prohibiting Simpson from spending any advance he may have
received on a canceled TV and book deal. The matter was dismissed before trial
for lack of jurisdiction.[1] On January 19, 2007 a California state judge issued
an additional restraining order, ordering Simpson to restrict his spending to
"ordinary and necessary living expenses".[1]
On March 13, 2007 a judge prevented Simpson from receiving any further
compensation from a canceled book deal and TV interview. He ordered the bundled
book rights to be auctioned.[7]

In August 2007, a Florida bankruptcy court awarded the rights to the book to
the Goldman family to partially satisfy an unpaid civil judgment. The title of
the book was expanded to If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer, and comments
were added to the original manuscript by the Goldman family, Pablo Fenjves, and
prominent investigative journalist Dominick Dunne.[8]
