In 1994 Simpson was notoriously tried for the murder of his ex-wife and her friend, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Represented by Johnnie Cochran Jr., it was is often referred to as the "Trial of the Century",<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/US/OJ/daily/9510/10-03/index.html|format=HTML|language=English|accessdate=2007-09-16|title='Not guilty'|date=1995-10-03|work=CNN}}</ref> Simpson was acquitted. Three years later he was found liable in a [[civil court]], where he was ordered to pay $38 million to the Goldman family (the Brown family did not seek such a verdict).<ref name="Published2">{{cite web|url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20759477/|work=MSNBC|title=Goldmans say they're punishing O.J. with book|accessdate=2007-09-16|format=HTML|language=English}}</ref> In 2006 Simpson with Pablo Fenjves wrote "If I Did It" - which detailed how he would have killed his wife and Goldman, had he done it. Public outcry - headed by Fred Goldman (Ron Goldman's father) - lead to the cancellation of the publishing. However, later, the Goldmans were awarded the rights to the book to help satisfy the unpaid $38 million wrongful death judgment against Simpson. The Goldmans retitled the book "If I Did It: Confessions of a Killer", and published it. This has also raised opposition, including from Nicole Simpson's sister, Denise Brown, who argue that the book's contents are too vial to be published.<ref name="Published2" />
