In 1995, he was acquitted of the 1994 murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman after a lengthy and internationally publicized criminal trial, the People v. Simpson. In 1997, a civil court awarded a judgment against Simpson for their wrongful deaths; to date he has paid little of the $33.5 million penalty

March 26, 1997 - The court orders Simpson to turn over his assets, including a set of golf clubs, his 1968 Heisman Trophy, and a Warhol painting.

November 20, 2006 - News Corp announces the cancellation of Simpson's book and two part FOX TV interview, called "If I Did It." The book was promoted as a hypothetical account of the murders.

March 13, 2007 - A California judge rules that the rights to Simpson's book will be publicly auctioned so that Ron Goldman's family can receive the future proceeds. The auction is canceled in early April 2007 when the holding company Lorraine Brook Associates declares bankruptcy.

O.J. Simpson shortly thereafter civil case verdict, moved to Florida. Owning a home and other property Florida law O.J. Simpson and Florida Statutory Law denied Brown-Simpson and Goldman families monetary collection of punitive damages awarded in the judgement against Simpson, out of the State of California.
Sun-Sentinel – ‘Simpson Moves On After Move To Miami’ – June 18, 2004 by John-Thor Dahlburg

“With daughter, Sydney, 18, and son Justin, 15, Simpson lives in a $575,000, three-bedroom, three-bath home with a pool. Under Florida law, it can’t be seized to help cover the $33.5 million civil judgment that a California court ordered him to pay the survivors of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald L. Goldman.”

so, if you have evidence that simpson, has, in fact, paid the judgment, please cite it.
