Show Me the Confession!

SANTA MONICA, Calif: Fred Goldman wasn't kidding when he said the O.J. civil trial wasn't about the money. While speaking on a Christian radio talk show today, the aggrieved father said he would renounce his claim to the damages Simpson has been ordered to pay his family if the former football star issues a signed, detailed confession that he killed Ronald Goldman. Steering clear of directly naming Simpson as the culprit, Goldman said, "The suggestion is that if the person . . . that murdered my son wants to write out a complete confession and publish it in newspapers around the country, we'll be glad to ignore the judgment." Even if Simpson is guilty, Goldman does not really expect him to accept the challenge: "That will never happen. This person hasn't owned responsibility for any of his actions through his lifetime." Although the audacious offer could save Simpson a lot of dough and finally bring Goldman the satisfaction of hearing someone confess, Simpson is more likely to bet that his defense teams appeal can wipe out the whopping $33.5 million debt.
