Auction of rights to OJ Simpson book cancelled
A court-ordered auction of the rights to O.J. Simpson's halted book-TV project If I Did It, Here's How It Happened has been cancelled. O.J. Simpson's surrogate company filed for bankruptcy last week, which has halted Tuesday's auction of the rights to the scrapped book and TV project If I Did It.(Richard Drew/Associated Press) The auction, originally scheduled for Tuesday in California, was scrapped because the former football star's company filed for bankruptcy in Florida late last week, according to a lawyer representing the family of Ron Goldman, who was killed alongside Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, in 1994. Simpson was acquitted of murder charges in the case in 1995. However, he subsequently lost a wrongful death civil suit brought by the Goldman family and was ordered to pay damages of $33.5 million US — little of which the family has recovered over the past decade.
Senate Taken By Storms
TALLAHASSEE - Ronda Storms scrambled from one Senate committee to another, arriving just in time to relieve her aide and finish introducing a bill involving teenage girls and abortion. Breathing heavily into the microphone, she apologized for being late. "Excuse me, I just ran over from the committee that I was chairing, and I ran at least the speed limit." Then she pitched her bill, the second of the day involving minors and abortion. Storms' sphere of responsibility has grown from Hillsborough County to the state, but the Valrico Republican has remained the same: outspoken and certain of her beliefs, even when her beliefs clash with others'. Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, said Storms' bills and actions this Legislative session should make perfect sense to her constituents.
Kentucky chiropractor sees empire crumble
Dr. Paul Hollern once headed a chiropractic empire, receiving part of the profits of about 80 practitioners across the country who had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars each for his "Uncle Paul Chiropractic Business Training." But now Hollern is bankrupt and charged with health-care fraud for allegedly teaching young chiropractors to sell patients unnecessary services. .
