Simpson told The Associated Press on Saturday that he did not call the police to help reclaim the items he believed to be his because he has found the police unresponsive to him ever since his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were killed in 1994.
"The police, since my trouble, have not worked out for me," Simpson said.
Police said they seized two firearms involved in the robbery along with sports memorabilia, mostly signed by Simpson. They also said they recovered collectible baseballs and Joe Montana cleats at private residences early Sunday on three search warrants. But "whether the property belonged to Mr. Simpson is a matter of debate," police Lt. Clint Nichols said.
Ron Goldman, the father of one of Simpson's victims, welcomed the possibility that Simpson could go to prison. "He's believed for years, decades, that he's entitled to do anything he wants, and the legal system and society has basically agreed with him," Goldman said. "This time, hopefully, he'll get what he deserves. He'll get jail time."
After a deal for Simpson to publish his book titled "If I Did It - Here's How It Happened" fell through, a federal bankruptcy judge awarded the book's rights to the Goldman family, who retitled it "If I Did It: The Confessions of the Killer." During the weekend, the book was the hottest seller in the country, hitting No. 1 on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com.
Simpson is also involved in a fraud case involving a bogus corporation he set up to funnel the profits from his book. The corporation was headed by Simpson's daughter whose mother Simpson killed. Three days after the profits were awarded to the Goldman family the corporation declared bankruptcy.
