Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995, but he was found liable for $33 million in a civil lawsuit filed by the victims' families in 1997. The Goldman family collected only a small part of the award, and Ron Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, is also unlikely to recover much from the estate, report the Los Angeles Times, WATE and the Associated Press.

A gold pocket watch that belonged to a man who died onboard the Titanic when it sank has sold for a record sum.
