Custody Battles and Financial Struggles
Following the trial, Simpson’s children, Sydney and Justin, were allowed to stay with him despite the controversy. Brown’s parents fought for custody but were unsuccessful, though they were granted visitation rights. This arrangement meant Sydney and Justin grew up with both their father and maternal grandparents in their lives, a situation that likely added to their emotional turmoil.
The Goldman family filed a civil suit against Simpson, resulting in a different verdict: Simpson was found liable for the deaths of Brown and Goldman. He was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages. Unable to pay the full amount, Simpson fled to Miami, further complicating his children’s lives and financial stability.
