LOS ANGELES (TNND) — A Bible Robert Kardashian Sr. gave
his friend and client
O.J. Simpson shortly after Simpson was
arrested in the mid-1990s recently sold at an auction for more
than $80,000.

According to Goldin Auctions, Kardashian signed the Bible 
and included a "heartfelt inscription" inside the book.

This book will help," Kardashian wrote. "God loves and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book everyday. God has a definite plan for your life. You are his child and he will use you again. I love you and God loves you."


Kardashian, who alongside Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., Peter Neufeld,
Robert Shapiro, and Robert Blasier, served as Simpson’s defense
team during the murder trial.

GIFT FROM FRANCE ARRIVED ON THIS DAY

1885 Detail, Statue of Liberty Arrives in New York Harbor, U.S. Timeline, The 1880's - America's ...

On June 17, 1885, the dismantled Statue of Liberty, a gift of
friendship from the people of France to the people of America,
arrived in
New York Harbor after being shipped across the
Atlantic Ocean in 350 individual pieces packed in more than
200 cases. The copper and iron statue, which was reassembled
and dedicated the following year in a ceremony presided over
by U.S. President
Grover Cleveland, became known around the
world as an enduring symbol of freedom and democracy.
