FILE--O.J. Simpson speaks during an interview in New York, Tuesday July 25, 2000. Simpson lost a major legal battle Wednesday, April 25, 2001, when the California Supreme Court declined to review a civil jury's finding that the former football star was liable for the deaths of Ronald Goldman and ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. The high court's decision also upholds the same jury's $33.5 million judgment against Simpson and perhaps closes the final chapter to one of the nation's most celebrated murder cases.
