The problem the Goldmans and Browns have in trying to collect a penny on that civil judgment is due to what the law allows.  It's no secret nor a surprise that O. J. Simpson intends to return to Florida.  Due to Florida's very liberal asset protection laws, the estate he purchased there can't be touched by creditors, and because of both state and federal laws, neither can his valuable NFL pension. 

It's all perfectly legal and is the reason why people anticipating substantial civil judgments against them proactively take steps to become residents there.  Florida is not the only state attractive to "debtors on the run."
