“He was more excited for me to get married than I was,” Scotto told ABC News “20/20.” “My wedding was a four-day event. Simpson was in Vegas in September 2007 to be the best man in a wedding for his friend, Tom Scotto. The trophy was later sold at auction for more than $250,000 in 1999. As a result, Simpson was evicted from his Brentwood, California, mansion after reportedly defaulting on the mortgage, and he was forced to turn over many of his personal belongings, including sports memorabilia, his 1968 Heisman trophy and golf clubs.
Simpson has always maintained he did not kill Goldman and Brown. In 1997, however, Simpson lost a wrongful death civil suit that was brought against him by the Goldman and Brown families, and was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages.
