Well the son is dead, nothing can be done after the jury mistakenly acquitted Simpson. But did OJ really shirk obligations? AFAIK the whole reason he even wrote "IF I DID IT" was to try to pay them what was owed, and they accepted that deal.
The man's whole estate appears to be worth about 3 Million USD, and he's survived by four children. Maybe it's time we put the dead to rest.
No, they sued for profits from the book.
I looked it up and you appear to be correct, at the very least the rights of the publication were given to the families on Court Orders.
What is this alternate timeline where OJ isn’t such a bad guy after all? He wrote the book because he needed cash, and was sued for the money since he still had not paid all he owed.
It’s a little hard to “put the dead to rest” when the dead person is your child and their killer is still walking the streets for the rest of his life.
He was a shit person, but I'm not seeing a better future from trying to squeeze 97 Million USD out of a 3 Million USD estate. He already served 33 years prison for a separate crime and he has 4 children who are wholly not responsible at all but may end up paying for their father's crimes.
