Ronald L Goldman

On a shimmering, windy morning, relatives, friends and guests attended the unveiling of a granite gravestone for Ronald L. Goldman, who was slashed to death last June with Nicole Brown Simpson outside her Brentwood condominium. Jewish tradition holds that a grave site go unmarked until a year of mourning has passed. The unveiling of the gravestone signifies the end of the mourning period. Rabbi Gary E. Johnson of Temple Beth Haverim in Agoura Hills presided over the ceremony.

Is O.J. about to come back into your living room? A small, Texas-based network says it's considering an unscripted series featuring clips of O.J. Simpson, whose nationally televised 1995 trial in the slaying of his ex-wife was a sensation long before "reality" TV became a modern mainstay. Urban Television Network Corp., with 70 affiliates that reach 22 million households, said it had a memorandum of understanding with Spiderboy International Inc.

A federal judge Monday dismissed a lawsuit by O.J. Simpson demanding telephone records that he claims can prove he did not murder ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald L. Goldman. U.S. District Judge Dean D. Pregerson said the former football star's suit should not have been filed in federal court. "I think your lawsuit borders on the frivolous," Pregerson told Simpson attorney Douglas E. McCann, apparently referring to his claim that federal civil rights laws were being violated.

O.J. Simpson's deposition in civil wrongful death lawsuits filed by the families of murder victims Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald L. Goldman will be resumed Feb. 19 under an agreement reached by attorneys Tuesday.

Contending that his constitutional rights were violated, O.J. Simpson filed suit in Los Angeles federal court Friday to overturn a $33.5-million civil judgment against him for the slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald L. Goldman. Simpson said the damage award constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment" by a state court jury that was "inflamed by emotion and denied access to exculpatory or mitigating evidence."

The judge overseeing efforts to collect a $33.5-million civil judgment against O.J. Simpson said Friday that he will hold a hearing next month to investigate allegations that the NFL star's valuable Hall of Fame ring is in the possession of a memorabilia dealer he was recently convicted of kidnapping. A lawyer for Fred Goldman, whose son was slain alongside Simpson's ex-wife in 1994, said a Las Vegas prosecutor informed him Monday that Simpson gave Alfred Beardsley the ring.

A lawyer convicted of insurance fraud who now is cooperating with investigators is accelerating a criminal probe into a group of Los Angeles-area lawyers, doctors and health clinics already accused in a civil suit of operating a major traffic accident insurance fraud ring. The probe, law enforcement sources said, focuses to a large degree on 51 defendants named in a $208-million civil suit filed in 1984 by the Automobile Club of Southern California.

Set among traditional, shingle-roofed ranch houses, the oversized, contemporary home on Mandalay Drive has stood out ever since it was built. But residents of the 16000 block of that secluded street in the Santa Monica Mountains say they had little hint of the role it would play in the O. J. Simpson drama. Sometime Friday morning, the celebrity ex-athlete slipped out of the house with his college roommate and fellow football player Allen G.

A lawyer for O.J. Simpson's former in-laws told an appeals court Friday that the Orange County judge who granted Simpson custody of his two younger children should have considered civil evidence against the football Hall of Famer. Simpson was acquitted of the 1994 slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald L. Goldman, but a civil jury later found him responsible for the deaths of his ex-wife and her friend.
