Judge to Juice: Hand Over the Rolex

Tue., Oct. 2, 2007 3:54 PM PDT by Josh Grossberg

O.J. Simpson just got a court-ordered time-out.

A California judge on Tuesday ordered the ex-football hero to fork over a Rolex watch, among other items, to help satisfy the $33.5 million judgment for the wrongful deaths of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gerald Rosenberg also ordered the Naked Gun star to surrender any of the memorabilia from last month's purported Las Vegas heist that is found to belong to Simpson.

He is currently facing 11 criminal counts, ranging from armed robbery to kidnapping, for taking the items. Simpson, 60, has proclaimed his innocence, stating that all the mementos belonged to him and he was just conducting a "sting operation" to get them back.

David Cook, a lawyer for Goldman's father, Fred, said after Tuesday's hearing that the Submariner Rolex could be worth anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000.

"In this case, if it's Mr. Simpson's, then it would be ours," Cook told reporters outside the Santa Monica courthouse.

Simpson's Los Angeles-based attorney, Ronald Slates, expressed doubts about the Rolex's authenticity and said he had already collected the timepiece from his client and planned to turn it over to Goldman's camp by Tuesday afternoon.

"Know any Rolex watches that sell for 125 bucks?" he asked, noting that's the amount Simpson told him he paid for it.

But the lawyer conceded that if it is a knockoff, "it's a pretty good copy."

As for the cache of memorabilia, Slates said he had no way of handing over any of it because Las Vegas police have confiscated it for evidence.

Cook countered that Rosenberg's ruling states that should Simpson be found to own any of the disputed collectibles, which reportedly includes footballs, jerseys and photos, then they must be given to the Goldmans.

"As we said earlier, Mr. Simpson is going to walk out of Las Vegas bust. You've always heard that expression," Cook added. "He's not walking away with that sports memorabilia. That's what the judge ordered, and he's going to literally walk away empty-handed for all his trouble."

Finally, the judge ordered Simpson to send any future profits from the new videogame All-Pro Football 2K8, which features Simpson's likeness, to Goldman.

Slates, however, said he wasn't sure Simpson would make a dime from the title.

Tuesday's hearing was the latest setback for Simpson in the past few months.

In July, a federal bankruptcy judge awarded the Goldman family the rights to If It Did It, Simpson's hypothetical tell-all about the murders of his ex-wife and the younger Goldman. (Simpson was acquitted of the 1994 murder in a criminal trial but found liable for their deaths in the subsequent civil case and ordered to pay the Goldman and Brown families the huge sum. He has failed to make good on the bulk of the award.)

The book, which the Goldmans recast as Simpson's confession, was released Sept. 13 and became an instant bestseller.

The 13th was also the day Simpson and five associates allegedly forced their way into a Vegas hotel room and absconded with the memorabilia.

A status hearing in that case is scheduled for this Thursday in Las Vegas' Clark County Criminal Court.

During that proceeding, Judge Joe M. Bonaventure will select a date, most likely later this month, for a preliminary hearing for all the defendants in the case. He'll also arraign two of Simpsons' alleged coconspirators, Walter Alexander and Clarence Stewart.
