The Smithsonian Institution in a two-sentence statement has declined accepting the suit worn in court by O.J. Simpson on October 3, 1995, the day he was acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Smithsonian spokeswoman Linda St. Thomas stated the suit is not appropriate for the museum's collection.
The donation stems from an agreement reached on Monday between Simpson, Fred Goldman and Simpson's former sports agent, Mike Gilbert in order to resolve legal issues regarding Simpson's clothing.
In the event the suit was turned down by the Smithsonian the agreement provided it would be offered to another organization. The name of that organization has not been disclosed.
