While speaking on a Christian radio talk show today, the aggrieved father said he would renounce his claim to the damages Simpson has been ordered to pay his family if the former football star issues a signed, detailed confession that he killed Ronald Goldman.

Whether or not he does will first depend on Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki, who has 110 days to approve or reduce...
SANTA MONICA: After just 16 hours of deliberations over the three days, the jury of six men and six women found O.J. Simpson liable for the wrongful death of Ronald Goldman and the battering of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. The unanimous decision, which ends a string of stunning courtroom victories for the ex-football great, was topped off by a jury order that Simpson pay $8.5 million to compensate the Goldmans for the death of their son. As the verdict was read, Simpson remained stoic, staring straight ahead. Across the courtroom, a whoop of joy was heard from...
