O. J.'s Mansion Sold

The bank that holds the mortgage sold Simpson's Brentwood mansion in an auction Monday to ... itself. Hawthorne Savings and Loan paid US$2.6 million, or $100,000 more than Simpson owed the bank, apparently believing the property would draw even more on the market. The money won't go toward the $33.5 million wrongful death damages Simpson's been ordered to pay.
