New publisher found for O.J.'s If I Did It

The Goldman family has found a New York publisher for O.J. Simpson's If I Did It, according to a spokesman for Los Angeles-basedliterary agent Sharlene Martin.

Martin announced Monday that she has struck a deal on behalf of the family members ofthe slainRon Goldman, two weeks after a federal judge awarded them rights to the book.

She said the name of the publisher would be announced Tuesday.

Goldman was slain along with Nicole Brown Simpson, ex-wife of O.J. Simpson, in 1994. The former football player was acquitted of criminal murder charges in connection with the two deaths, but found liable for the deaths in a civil case brought by families of the victims.

The Goldmans were awarded $33.5 million US, but have yet to collect any of that money.

They took Simpson to court to prevent him from benefiting from If I Did It, a book which purports to tell his hypothetical account of the killings.

They said they would publish the book to expose Simpson's callous personality.

"The [Goldman] family and publisher have pledged to leave Simpson's manuscript entirely intact, but they will also add key commentary," Michael Wright, a spokesman for Martin, said in a statement.

They say some proceeds from the book will go to the Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice.

HarperCollins printed 400,000 copies of the book but scrapped it in November 2006 after parent firm News Corp. cancelled the book project amid public outrage.
