O.J. Simpson’s Estate Wants to Make Sure the Goldmans Get ‘Nothing’

Attorney Malcolm LaVergne has no idea how he came to be the executor of O.J. Simpson’s estate, but he wants everyone to know that he takes the job “very seriously.” On Friday, he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that one of his top priorities is making sure that the family of Ron Goldman doesn’t get a penny.

“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” LaVergne told the Review-Journal. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”

In 1994, Simpson was accused of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. Simpson was acquitted in 1995, but in 1997, the Review-Journal notes, he was found liable in a civil wrongful death suit and ordered to pay the pair’s families $33.5 million. LaVergne maintains that there was never an official order forcing Simpson to pay the families.
