Jury orders Simpson to pay $25 millkAm
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) —A
jury Monday heaped $25 million in
punitive damages on O.J. Simpson
for the slayings of his ex-wife and
her friend, saddling him with more
than twice the debt even his pur
suers say he can pay.
The judgment is on top of $8.5
million in compensatory damages
awarded last week when the jury re
pudiated Simpson’s murder acquit
tal and found him liable in the 1994
slashing deaths of Nicole Brown
Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
“Finding O.J. Simpson liable of
the murders and acting with op
pression and malice was one of the
easiest decisions I have ever had to
make,” said juror No. 11, a woman
in her 30s who was not identified
by name in a news conference.
Juror No. 266, a theater stage man
ager in her 40s, said she simply did
not believe Simpson’s testimony.
“Everything as it related to the evi
dence — the shoes, the hitting, where
the gloves were, the sweatsuit.”
As for Simpson’s claim he was
framed, juror No. 186, a man in his
20s, said, "There’s just no way any
one could have planted all that ev
idence — it doesn’t make sense ...
there’s no way.”
The jury, characterized by the
media as mostly white and con
trasted with the mostly black jury
that acquitted Simpson of murder,
said race had nothing to do with
Simpson
their decision.
“We went by all the evidence and
it had nothing to do with the color of
Mr. Simpson’s skin,” said juror No.
400, a white
woman in
her 60s.
Unlike
the liability
verdict, the
decision on
punitive
damages
was not
unanimous.
The only
person with
black ancestry
on the jury, a Ja
maican born man who is half-
Asian, was the lone vote against
punitive damages. He was joined by
one other juror in also voting
against the amounts.
Simpson was not in court Mon
day. He has not been in court since
Tuesday’s verdict, though he has
been seen playing golf.
The courtroom was hushed and
there were none of the outbursts that
marked last week’s verdict.
Fred Goldman, the victim’s fa
ther who had championed the civ
il court battle against Simpson, sat
silently wiping his brow. His wife,
Patti, and daughter, Kim, showed
little emotion.

beneficiaries including her two
children now living with Simpson,
was allotted $12.5 million of the
punitive damages.
Goldman’s father got another
$12.5 million, while his mother,
Sharon Rufo, did not ask for punitive
damages. The long-divorced parents
will split the $8.5 million in compen
satory damages for the loss of their
son’s love and companionship.
“The money is not the issue,”
Goldman said afterward, “it’s mak
ing certain that the man who mur
dered my son and Nicole is held re
sponsible — that’s happened.”
“This was for justice,” said Kim
Goldman. “We always knew the
truth would come out.”
Added Goldman attorney,
Daniel Petrocelli: “I thought it was
important to stand up to Mr. Simp
son in front of the jury, to call him a
killer, to treat him like a killer so the
jury could call him a killer.”
It took the jury five hours over
two days to arrive at the punish
ment amount, ignoring the por
trayal of Simpson as a tapped-out
pariah and siding with a plaintiffs’
lawyer who urged jurors to “Send a
message... you can’t kill two people
and get away with it.”
The attorneys never asked for a
specific amount in punitive dam
ages but said it should be enough to
hurt Simpson and to force the for
mer football star to relinquish his
luxurious lifestyle. WASHING'!'
