Judge to probe status of Simpson gridiron ring

The judge overseeing efforts to collect a US$33.5-million civil judgment against O.J. Simpson said Friday he will hold a hearing in November to investigate allegations that the former National Football League star’s Hall of Fame ring is in the possession of a memorabilia dealer Simpson was recently convicted of kidnapping.

A lawyer for Fred Goldman, whose son Ron was slain alongside Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, in 1994, said a Las Vegas prosecutor informed him Monday that Simpson gave Alfred Beardsley the ring. A Nevada jury convicted Simpson in October of the armed robbery and kidnapping in 2007 of Beardsley and another man.

Judge Gerald Rosenberg ordered Beardsley to appear in court Nov. 19 to answer questions about the ring. Beardsley has been incarcerated in the state prison in Chino, Calif., on a parole violation since shortly after the Sept. 13, 2007, robbery. In court papers, Goldman’s attorney wrote that David Roger, the district attorney who prosecuted Simpson, told him that the retired athlete passed the ring to Beardsley to avoid paying the civil judgment.
