A judge on Tuesday gave Fred Goldman a week to come up with a list of sports memorabilia O.J. Simpson is accused of stealing from a Las Vegas hotel room, but he refused to order Simpson to hand over his earnings from everything from autograph signings to videogames. [...]

Tuesday's hearing was originally scheduled in connection with any money the Goldmans say Simpson earned from a video game featuring his likeness.

The ruling is a setback for Goldman, who had hoped to collect on sales of O.J. Simpson's Stab Hero III, featuring Wii's motion-sensing slashing knife controls. Goldman will therefore be hard at work in the coming days drawing up the judge's requested list of O.J. memorabilia, dreaming of one day being able to list them on eBay filed under "Vintage Sports Memorabilia > Football-NFL > Motherfucking Stolen Shit."

After saying it would not stock copies of If I Did It in its stores, citing lack of customer demand, the chain told The Associated Press on Thursday that it would indeed carry the book.

Since the initial decision on Aug. 21 against stocking the book, but selling it online, Barnes & Noble spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating said: "We've been monitoring the pre-orders and customer requests and have concluded that enough customers have expressed interest in buying the book to warrant stocking it in our stores. We do not intend to promote the book but we will stock it in our stores because our customers are asking for it."

And with that, Barnes & Noble now joins the ranks of fellow morally compromised chain Borders, who had pledged all along to stock the book, albeit with none of the fanfare they usually reserve for Michael Crichton's latest laser-mounted velociraptor adventure. Surely, the brisk sales can only be good news for Fred Goldman, who sweat blood and tears to wrest the publishing rights away from Simpson, and whose seal of approval on every cover—reading "The Ron Goldman Foundation for Justice Authorized Edition"—assures buyers of the veracity of the guilty, gory admissions they can expect for their $24.95.
