HOLLYWOOD - The family of murder victim Ron Goldman has won a court order seizing all monies O.J. Simpson earns through his appearance in a football videogame.
Former football star Simpson stars in new videogame All-Pro Football 2K8, which follows a fictional team called the Assassins with a knife-wielding mascot.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Gerald Rosenberg ruled any earnings to Simpson that "have been paid, are due or may be due in the future" for use of his image and likeness in the videogame must be turned over to the Goldman estate.
Last month, a federal judge in Miami approved the Goldman's settlement with a court-appointed bankruptcy trustee, giving them the rights to the star's controversial book If I Did It--in which he hypothetically places himself at the scene of the murders of his wife Nicole Brown and her friend Goldman in 1994.
Since the victory, the Goldmans revealed plans to use publishing, film or TV deals from the book to help satisfy a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment won by the family against Simpson in 1997.
