If O.J. Simpson’s assets go to court, Goldman, Brown families could be first in line

LOS ANGELES (AP) — O.J. Simpson died without having paid the lion’s share of the $33.5 million judgment a civil jury awarded to the families of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. The panel found Simpson liable in a wrongful death lawsuit in 1997. Now, his money is likely to go into the court probate process. And the Goldman and Brown families could be at the front of the line to get paid a piece of whatever Simpson left behind. If he had any meaningful assets at all, his four children will have to let a court look at them before they can receive it.
