this is when you really wish that America didn't have the Double Jeopardy law.
the Goldman family did take Simpson to civil court and sued for wrongful death the year after the case, and they won. he was ordered to pay somewhere in the neighbourhood of $30 million, however, his NFL pension is untaxable and ungarnishable. NEW income (such as the money he is sure to make off this book) however, is garnishable. so the Goldman family may finally get the money that they won from him, so at least maybe a little bit of good will come from it...
