Fred Goldman: O.J. Thinks He's Invincible

(CBS)  In the wake of O.J. Simpson's arrest for armed robbery, police are trying to determine if any of the sports memorabilia he was allegedly after legally belongs to the Goldman family.

Simpson still owes the Goldmans and the Brown family $33 million for the wrongful deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994. Simpson was acquitted of the murders.

The Goldmans were able to obtain the rights to Simpson's controversial book "If I Did It," which details how the murders would have happened had he committed them, but Fred Goldman, Ron's father, strongly believes that Simpson has not come close to paying his dept.

"I guess the first reaction I had to seeing him in handcuffs and walking was he still had that arrogant swagger about him, 'I'm still in charge of the world,' " Goldman told The Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith. "Which is what I think this whole thing is all about. He thinks he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, the world is his stage and he's the master puppeteer."

Simpson faces serious jail time -- possibly a minimum of three years to 20 years or more. Goldman says it would be "wonderful" if Simpson goes to jail, but it comes many years too late.

"I would have much preferred him found guilty of Ron and Nicole's death and then be put either to death or in jail then," he said. "To see him ultimately, potentially, go to jail, that's great. I hope, frankly the prosecutors in Vegas cross every T and dot every I and make sure they treat him just like every other accused burglar and don't give him any special treatment and ultimately he gets the kind of punishment everybody else would get."

In the meantime, Goldman says his family is using part of the proceeds from "If I Did It," which has gone to No. 1 on the best seller list, to contribute to the Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice.

"We hope to be able to give back to victims in this country," he said. "They need as much help as anybody as you can imagine."

You know, if you go to the Ron Goldman Foundation. The web site is all of 2 pages. How long has this foundation been established? It only costs $5.00 a month for a web site and any dumby and make it. Get a clue!!!!! They are the ones that will not let go for the sake of money.

Oh PLEASE.....are you people human or just plain STUPID?????
Any rational person knows why OJ was not convicted of the murders...and it is NOT because he was innocent.
Give the Goldman and Brown families some peace of mind and respect they need and deserve. Put the murderer of their loved ones behind bars for good. Get that evil OJ off the streets for good.

Leave OJ alone. If you (the Goldman''s) need money so bad and desperately. GET A JOB. If you can stoop so low as to want the man''s watch. Then I feel very sorry for you. Where is the justice in the Goldman''s only wanting money. It will not bring back there estranged (deceased) son. Move on, get a life and start living it. If you want answer''s to the murder follow the "DRUG" trail!!!!!!!

"In the meantime, Goldman says his family is using part of the proceeds from "If I Did It," which has gone to No. 1 on the best seller list, to contribute to the Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice."

And that is the whole thing - "part" of the proceeds is going to the foundation. You can bet it is an exceedingly small part of those proceeds, and the rest is going right into their pockets. They had very little to do with Ron when he was alive, and I find it repulsive the way they have trumpeted their "grief" and "sorrow" and "pain" all in the name of money. That book should have never been published - it should have been shredded and burned for the worthless garbage it is, not put out there for some sick people hoping to get a vicarious "thrill" out of reading O.J.''s supposed "confession"

I would never contribute a penny toward this trash or the book either.
