"What's this mean for OJ & the Goldmans?"
Posted by mysticwolf on 07-11-07 at 11:38 PM
A police officer is killed 50 yrs. ago. The killer is turned in by his sister and his cousin admits he was part of it and serves time. The jury believes the guy did it, but also believe the prosecution did a crap job of proving it so the find him not guilty.The widow brings a civil case for wrongful death and wins. The unconvicted killer pays her $150,000 as a down payment on the judgement.
Fifty years later the court decides that her civil case should not have been allowed because he had been found not guilty. The widow has been ordered to repay the $150,000.
WTF?

What did I tell you about watching that "Cold Case" marathon?
The answer to these story problems is always "pi"... or maybe it's "cake", I forget which.

Legally, it means nothing because both cases are matters of state law, and they took place in different states.Other than that, I don't know enough about NJ law to comment.
