Ron Goldman Goes After OJ's Identity After his acquittal on charges of murder, OJ Simpson was slapped with a $33.5 million judgment in civil court, which held him liable for two killings. But the survivors of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman say all they've received is $382,000 for Simpson's Heisman Trophy and other personal items. Now Fred Goldman, Ron's father, is in court again, demanding that he be assigned the "right of publicity" for Simpson's name, face and image.
