GOLDMAN STILL TRYING TO GET IN O.J.’S POCKET: Father of murder victim goes after residual checks from old movies.
*Fred Goldman will stop at nothing to get whatever money he can from O.J. Simpson, who was acquitted of the 1994 murders of his son, Ron Goldman, and her friend, Nicole Brown Simpson, yet found liable of the crimes in a 1997 civil trial that resulted in a $33.5 million judgment.
Goldman’s attorneys subpoenaed several Hollywood industry groups on Monday, seeking money Simpson was paid for TV appearances and work in such movies as "Naked Gun 33 and 1/3" and "The Towering Inferno." Goldman’s team believes Simpson diverted the residual payments to avoid paying any of the judgment.
"We're going to burrow to the center of the earth to find Simpson's assets," Goldman lawyer David Cook told Reuters. "These subpoenas today seek to uncover and unearth Simpson's catalog or portfolio of movie residuals."
The subpoenas demand records kept by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), the Producers Guild of America and the American Federation of Television Radio Artists (AFTRA), which Goldman's lawyers believe will show how much Simpson has been paid and where the money has gone.
