That’s whats happening IMHO.
since it seems the media still isn’t reporting the history behind OJ and the two ‘victims,’ I posted this on another thread but I’ll re-post here:

Friend to testify in O.J. Simpson wrongful death suit
Oct. 27, 2004, 10:22 a.m. ET
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — A friend of O.J. Simpson has been ordered to appear in court regarding the finances of the former football star, who was acquitted of double murder but slapped with a $33.5 million settlement that remains unpaid to the victims’ families.
Alfred Beardsley must appear Nov. 23 in Los Angeles Superior Court in Santa Monica. The order, issued Tuesday, was at the request of Fred Goldman, whose son Ron Goldman was brutally stabbed to death along with Nicole Brown Simpson.
Fred Goldman’s attorney wrote in a declaration filed with the court that Beardsley “has knowledge” of Simpson’s “financial condition” and of his “non-exempt property, which may be ordered to be applied to the satisfaction of the judgment.”

As TMZ reports, a war has ensued over the impending sale of the suit OJ Simpson was wearing in court on the day of hit “Not Guilty” verdict.
David Cook, the lawyer for Fred Goldman (father of the man Simpson slaughtered), filed legal papers Monday in Santa Monica asking a judge to grab that suit.
[Memorabilia salesman Alfred Beardsley] said he had a conference call this morning with Cook and Kim Goldman. Beardsley says he plans to acquire the suit, and the trio talked about the Goldmans getting a percentage of the sale to help satisfy the outstanding judgment. The court could engineer the ground rules tomorrow.
Just the way I’ve felt ever since the verdict for the civil suit was handed down, any cent made by OJ, because of OJ, or anything related to the trial, should go to the Goldmans until they are completely paid off. Beardsley says he could get $100,000 for the suit. That seems like an awfully lot for me. But who am I to talk? That’s a bargain compared to $10,000 for Luis Gonzalez’s chewing gum. At least the winning bidder can rock it to a Bar Mitzvah or something. My only question: does it come with the tie?

Two dealers in sports memorabilia testified for the defense. Bruce Fromongis a full time employee of the California Department of Corrections but also isself-employed as a dealer in sports memorabilia and part owner of a sports cardshop in Lincoln City, Oregon. He directed sales and marketing for Locker 32, acompany that deals primarily in Simpson memorabilia.
During the criminal trial there was a frenzy of demand for Simpson memorabilia, but a few months after the criminal verdict this demand subsided. He testified that in the six months prior tothis trial (February 1997) he had sold only 10 pieces wholesale and four piecesretail. At a recent trade show he could not find a single dealer interested in purchasing Simpson memorabilia.

“Because it has an air about it,” said Bruce Fromong, seller of the O.J. suit, which comes with jacket, pants, shirt and tie. The shirt collar has a blood stain where Simpson nicked himself shaving that morning, Oct. 3, 1995. The jacket has a makeup smudge left by Simpson’s sister during a post-verdict hug. Fromong said he has been trying to sell the suit for its owner, Simpson’s former agent Mike Gilbert, who got the ensemble as a gift from the ex-NFL star
