Officially, the Brown-Goldman case is considered open and unsolved. Simpson was aquitted of all charges. But the cause of Ronald Goldman's death was exsanguation or for the layman, loss of blood due to numerous stab wounds. Technically in this kind of death the victim loses too much blood and experiences a severe drop in blood pressure, no blood pressure no heartbeat, and finally no brain function.
The most horrible thought is it takes a couple of minutes to bleed to death. Hopefully shock set in fast and eased his suffering, if only slightly.
Another View: The first contributor can describe it however they wish to but - Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown were STABBED and slashed to death with a sharp instrument - in plain English they were STABBED to death.

In America once you have been tried for a crime and found not guilty you cannot be tried again for the same crime. OJ Simpson was tried for the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman and found not guilty, so, no he cannot be tried again.
I am answering this question with the assumption that it is the murder trials you are asking about. No, the fifth amendment was not violated in these cases. The first trial was a criminal trial in which OJ was acquitted (found not guilty) of the murder charges. The second trial was a civil trial in which the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman sued OJ for wrongful death and battery. OJ was unanimously found guilty of wrongful death and battery against Ronald Goldman and battery against Nicole Brown Simpson. He was ordered to pay 33,500,000.00 in damages.
OJ Simpson's Heisman trophy and some other belongings were auctioned off in February 1999. The money from this auction (approximately 500,000) was given to the Goldman family.
