Victory for Fred Goldman in his Continuing Battle with OJ Simpson

MIAMI - JUNE 15, 2007 - The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida, ruled that Fredric Goldman's 1997 wrongful death judgment against OJ Simpson in an amount exceeding $38 million arising from the murder of his son Ronald Goldman is a valid claim against Lorraine Brooke Associates, Inc., a company owned by the four children of Mr. Simpson.

In early 2006, Mr. Simpson purported to transfer all rights in the book "If I Did It," which he wrote concerning the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, to Lorraine Brooke Associates, Inc. On April 13, 2007, Lorraine Brooke Associates, Inc. filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy in Miami as a result of an order from a California state court directing the book and related rights be sold at auction.

Lorraine Brooke Associates, Inc. took the position in the bankruptcy proceedings that Mr. Goldman's judgment against OJ Simpson was not a claim against Lorraine Brooke Associates, Inc. and objected to Mr. Goldman's claim. The Bankruptcy Court today overruled that objection and concluded that Mr. Goldman does in fact have a claim against Lorraine Brooke Associates, Inc. in an amount in excess of $38 million. In The Honorable A. Jay Cristol, Bankruptcy Judge ruling from the bench, he found that OJ Simpson engaged in a scheme to defraud Mr. Goldman when Mr. Simpson caused the book to be transferred to the company and then funneled substantially all of the money paid by the publisher, Harper Collins, through the company and onto Mr. Simpson for his personal benefit.

Attorney Paul J. Battista, Genovese Joblove & Battista, PA, counsel to Mr. Goldman in the bankruptcy proceedings, said "We are extremely pleased with the result today. The Bankruptcy Court agreed with all of our arguments that Mr. Simpson created the company in order to defraud Mr. Goldman. Mr. Simpson used this company to funnel money to himself out of the reach of Mr. Goldman. The ruling today will ensure that Mr. Simpson does not see another dime from this book. We will now move forward to the next phase of the bankruptcy proceeding and work closely with the bankruptcy trustee to maximize any recovery."
