Celebrity Justice
Judge to Goldmans: Is It Really OJ's Suit?

OJ Simpson, Fred GoldmanTMZ was in a Los Angeles County courtroom this morning when a judge told the Goldman family that their motion to collect money on the sale of OJ Simpson's suit was denied -- because there's no proof it is the real "not guilty" suit.

A legal war was triggered earlier this week when TMZ broke a story about a sports memorabilia guy trying to peddle a suit that he says OJ Simpson wore when he heard the unbelievable words, "not guilty." David Cook, lawyer for Fred Goldman (father of Ron, who Simpson slaughtered), filed legal papers Monday in Santa Monica asking a judge to grab that suit.

Today, Kim Goldman, Ron's sister, was told by a judge that there is no evidence to prove the authenticity of the suit. But TMZ has learned that Simpson cut himself shaving on the morning of the verdict, which left blood stains on the suit. A simple DNA test would prove its authenticity. Although we know how DNA tests involving Simpson turn out.

31. For all the morons saying the Goldman's are stupid for wanting to keep getting O.J.'s money remember that O.J. Simpson was found GUILTY of murder in the civil lawsuit and he owes millions to the Goldman's. But O.J. is hiding his money to keep from having to pay his fine. So the Goldman's are forced to go after any money that O.J. gets so he fulfills his obligation to pay the fine for the civil lawsuit that he lost. It's pretty obvious that O.J. murdered Nicole and Ron. And the evidence was enough that he lost the civil lawsuit. Too bad the prosecutors and cops screwed up the criminal trial. Because O.J. would have been in prison where he belongs. He's a scumbag and everyone knows it. Hopefully the Goldman's get every cent that O.J. owes for the civil trial.

32. OJ shaving with a suit on, give me a break. Goldman move on with your life. Nicole did leave two children behind!

33. #29 AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If someone did to my child what OJ did to the Goldman's son, there would be no rock he would be able to climb under without me sitting on top of it, squeezing the life of him. (Just like he did to Ron and Nicole.) And this race thing, give me a break. That line is brought up everytime some does something and gets caught. "You gave me a ticket because I am black,,,,,you charged me with murder because I am black" Could it be that these people were charged, etc because.....OMG should I say this....BECAUSE THEY ARE GUILTY???
BTW, for those who want to use the race card, read your history. The Africans kings sold the slaves for money. So if you want to use that race card, take it back to Africa and play it there.

34. The Goldman's need to go to therapy so they can move forward with their lives. It can't be healthy allowing OJ's bank account consume your every waking moment.

I wish the media would address the Goldman's taking money away from Nicole Brown's children Sydney and Justin, because that is exactly what they are doing. They should look up Virgie Arthur, seems they would get along great.

35. My guess is Joann and Gina don't have kids!

36. I am with T-Bone. Police and prosecutors messed up the criminal case. DNA DOES NOT LIE. There is no way to explain all of OJ's blood at the crime scene EXCEPT THAT O J COMMITTED A DOUBLE MURDER.

I HOPE THE GOLDMANS KEEP THIS SCUMBAG BROKE FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

39. PLeaseeeeeeeeeee #31 Is that what happened for real.? Kings started this crap? I should have paid more attention in History class.And for my whole life I have been mad at the first white guy who bought one and started all this trouble instead of pickin the cotton himself!

40. How funny that people are all upset about this miscarriage of justice 12 years after the murders. Where are you when convicted rapists are let out of jail each day when DNA testing proves they were innocent? I never hear the outrage from you then. It's all OJ all the time. This kid and his ex-wife were killed 12 years ago. If the Goldmans and Browns want to drag this one on forever, more power to them. The rest of us should concentrate on the many millions of things that are more important than a simple murder case.

41. If Simpson discarded the suit, then he isn't the rightful owner of the suit at the moment that he discarded it. It doesn't matter if he donated it to a charity or if he left it in the trash. At that moment the suit belongs to whomever takes possession of it. As much as I sympathise will the victims of this horrible crime, I would say that the Goldmans don't have a case unless they could show some type of collusion between Simpson and the present owner. As such the present owner could do whatever he wishes with the suit.

42. #40. Good Post. The Goldman's need to take whats left of their dignity and move on. When will they ever be satisified? They are money whores.!!

43. #38 - Found this on Your Guide to African American History:
Traders could not have been successful without the formation of a relationship with the Africans Kings who provided them with other Africans to enslave. African captors kidnapped their countrymen and brought them to slave factories on the west coast of Africa.

44. It is ALLEGEDLY. Judgement in a wrongful death suit, a civil matter, only establishes that it is "probable" that OJ contributed to or caused, in some way, the death of Mr. Goldman. The degree to which it is believed he intentionally cause such injury is reflected through the size of the punitive damages; however, this does not prove that he committed the crime. The standard of evidence in a criminal case is 'beyond a reasonable doubt,' and a jury decided that the evidence did not meet this standard. To say that "OJ Slaughtered" Mr. Goldman could very easily give rise to a libel suit. For as much time as TMZ spends covering court cases, I'm surprised they didn't know better.

45. The Goldmans are trying to make money off his sons death. They are beginning to look like money hungry vultures & are in this only for the $$$ rather than doing it for revenge against O.J. THE GOLDMANS ARE LOSERS LOOKING FOR SOME FREEBIES. DO LIKE DENISE BROWN & CONTRIBUTE YOUR TIME TO HELPING VICTIMS OF CRIMES.
