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.

"The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History will not be
collecting O.J. Simpson's suit," the museum said in a statement. "The
decision was made by the museum's curators together with the director."

Fred Goldman, Ron's father, filed the lawsuit against Simpson and his
former agent, Mike Gilbert, who allegedly has possession of the suit. In
1997, a civil jury found Simpson liable for the two deaths and ordered
him to pay $33.5 million to the victimsÂ’ relatives. Fred Goldman is
still trying to collect the money.

On Monday, Gilbert and Goldman agreed to donate the suit to the
Smithsonian Institution. It's unclear what will happen to the suit now.

Simpson, 62, is in jail, serving time for a botched robbery in Las Vegas
to allegedly retrieve some of his personal sports memorabilia.

The curators should be proud of themselves.
Good decision.

That suit is the kind of thing that belongs in a museum curated by
Geraldo Rivera.

Along with a collection of Michael Jackson's noses.
