Judge Orders O.J. To Turn Over Video Game Profits

LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― A California judge has ruled its 'game over' for O.J. Simpson when it comes to collecting on a video game that features his likeness.

The judge says Simpson has to pay any money he earns from the game's publisher to the family of the late Ronald Goldman to satisfy a $38-million wrongful-death judgment. Simpson was found liable in civil court for the 1994 deaths of Ron Goldman and his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson.

The game is called "All-Pro Football 2K8" and features Simpson's likeness as one of 240 former football greats. The judge also ordered Simpson to turn over all correspondence, documents and contracts with the video game's publisher to the Goldman family.

Last week a federal bankruptcy judge in Miami awarded the Goldmans rights to a book Simpson wrote based on the murders.
