Simpson sputtered toward conclusion last week in Santa Monica, California, a key issue that hung over the courtroom was money. With Simpson’s camp openly proclaiming he is out of cash, many observers were left wondering what the plaintiffs stood to gain. Ron Goldman’s father Fred has said he simply wants a jury to find Simpson responsible for his son’s death. His lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli, offered a stirring closing argument that even some Simpson defenders conceded was the most masterly in either the criminal or civil trial. Petrocelli again catalogued the physical evidence: the blood in the Bronco, the hair fibers, the newly discovered photographs of Simpson wearing the Bruno Magli shoes that he denied owning. (46) . Quoting a 16th century French poet, Petrocelli concluded, "’My lovely living boy, my hope, my happiness, my love, my life, my joy.’ Fred Goldman’s lovely living boy is no more." As many in the courtroom, wiped tears from their eyes it was left to Simpson lead attorney Robert Baker to persuade them to focus on questions of police corruption and contamination of evidence. Baker offered his own interpretation of the lawsuit brought by Ron Goldman’s parents and the estate of Nicole Brown Simpson. (47) . The problem with the notion of monetary retribution is that Simpson insists he is broke. (48) . They say his net worth, estimated at $11 million only four years ago, has been annihilated by legal costs, the upkeep of his large astate and the loss of the $1 million a year he once received from his contracts with hertz and NBC. However, while Simpson is indeed beset by payment demands form lawyers, contractors, gardeners, housekeepers, bodyguards, accountants and even the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, he is far from broke. (49) . A Time/CNN investination into Simpson’s finances, which involved searches of public records and court documents and interviews with key sources, has found he is worth $3 million and probably more. (50) . A. It would be easy for the plaintiffs to get money from O.J. Simpson. B. "There’s a killer in this courtroom," Petrocelli declared, pointing at Simpson. C. Said Baker: "This is a fight for justice, It’s a fight for money." D. In fact, most Americans would still consider him quite wealthy. E. Most of that money is untouchable, meaning that Simpson can look forward to a comfortable retirement even if there is a large judgment against him. F. His friends and lawyers support this claim.

Shopping online Internet retailer AMAZON. COM on Wednesday released a rare and revealing peek at its customers’ shopping habits, taken from a September e-mail poll of 2,072 customers of its French, German and United kingdom sites. The company said the research was done in the name of improving customer service. "We have to learn from the nuances and idiosyncrasies of each nation’s shopping habits to see how we can serve our customers better this Christmas, "said Robin Terrell, managing director of Amazon. co. uk. The findings paint a unique picture of the shopping habits of the world’s largest online retailer, plus their motivation and preferences. For instance, the round-the-clock convenience of e-commerce ranked above price as the prime motivating factor for online shoppers, the company said. And more purchases are made from home than work. According to the poll results, 31 percent of shoppers plunk down their credit card during work hours, against 67 percent at home or in a home office. The notable exception is Ireland, where 46 percent of shoppers polled do so while at their office desk. The British are the second worst offenders, with 40 percent admitting to on-the-job shopping, while the Danes are the most honorable, with one in five making a purchase while on the job. At 53 percent, the majority of Europeans shop in the evenings at home. Austrians and Germans are the most avid night owl shoppers, with 63 percent and 62 percent, respectively, reporting this habit. The Germans, though, are the least likely group to shop online after 10 p. m., the study said. Other findings include: the French and British are most active shoppers with three in 10 visiting e-commerce sites more than 10 times per month; and the Irish have the greatest concentration of shopaholics—one in ten hit the cyber—shops more than 20 times a month, twice the European average. In contrast, just 1 percent of Italians polled shop online more than 20 times per month. The least active group are the Dutch, with 25 percent reporting they shop online once a month or less. But among the senior set, Dutch "silver surfers"—Internet users above the age of 50—shop online 20 percent of the time, Amazon said. The French, meanwhile, like to get an early and late crack at online shopping with 18 percent logging on after 10 p.m. and 11 before 10 a. m., the company said. And what about the Swedes According to the survey, the Swedes are most likely among those polled to buy something they hadn’t planned on purchasing. What is the purpose of the poll made by AMAZON. COM
