You can't blame a guy for trying. In O.J. Simpson's case, perhaps, you can. It emerged yesterday that Simpson allegedly paid off a witness in his Las Vegas trial in order to get him to alter testimony. According to an investigator from the Clark County district attorney's office, Alfred Beardsley, a collectibles dealer already behind bars, said Simpson gave him his Hall of Fame ring in exchange for lying in the witness box. The allegation came at a civil court hearing where Fred Goldman, whose son was killed alongside O.J.’s estranged wife, Nicole Simpson, asked a judge to order Beardsley to turn over the ring as part of the $33.5 million wrongful-death judgment against Simpson. The judge ordered Beardsley back to court next week to hand over the ring, which he planned to sell for $120,000. Beardsley's lawyers say he doesn't have it.
