A federal judge in Miami has ordered the former NFL superstar to pay $25,000 to DirecTV for damages. Mr. Simpson was found guilty of receiving pirated satellite stations and having illegal devices known as 'bootloaders'.
According to Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, the judge denied Mr. Simpson a trial by jury and instead the case was heard by the judge himself.
When Simpson was later questioned about paying the fines, Simpson replied, "We are examining our legal options. ... We want our day in court."
