The Smithsonian Museum says it doesn’t want the suit O.J. Simpson wore when he was acquitted of murder charges — scuttling a compromised reached Monday in the long-running custody case.<\/p>\n

"The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History will not be
\ncollecting O.J. Simpson’s suit," the museum said in a statement. "The decision was made by the museum’s
\ncurators together with the director."<\/p>\n

Fred Goldman, Ron’s father, filed the lawsuit
\nagainst
\nSimpson and his former agent, Mike Gilbert, who allegedly has possession
\n of the suit. In 1997, a civil jury found Simpson liable for the two deaths and
\nordered him to pay $33.5 million to the
\nvictims\u2019 relatives. Fred Goldman is still trying to collect the money.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, Gilbert and Goldman agreed to
\n donate the suit to the Smithsonian Institution. It’s unclear what will happen to the suit now.<\/p>\n

Simpson, 62, is in jail, serving time for a botched robbery
\n in Las Vegas to allegedly retrieve some of his personal sports
\nmemorabilia. <\/p>\n
