SIMPSON BOOK RIGHTS AUCTION DELAYED
LATEST: An auction to sell off the rights to O.J. SIMPSON’s scrapped book IF I DID IT has been delayed.
The rights to controversial book - which hypothetically places Simpson at the scene of the 1994 murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman - were due to be sold at an auction tomorrow (17Apr07).
But it was postponed after Lorraine Brooke Associates, the company that struck the deal for the ex-NFL star, filed for bankruptcy last week (13Apr07).
The news comes as a blow to the Goldman family who were due to receive the proceeds as part of the $33.5 million (£17 million) Simpson owes following a 1997 civil case for wrongful death.
Goldman family attorney David Cook says, "The bankruptcy process is a detour on the road to justice."
