O.J. Simpson Estate Reverses Vow On Goldman Family Getting 'Zero' From $33 Million Payout
HuffPost
Attorney Malcolm LaVergne admitted his initial remarks were "pretty harsh," but "I backtracked" and "now I’m going in the other direction."
The lawyer handling O.J. Simpson’s estate is reversing a vow he made earlier to do “everything” he can to keep the families of murder victims Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson from collecting on a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment.
O.J. Simpson, who was famous both as a football player and as an acquitted murder suspect, died last week at the age of 76 from cancer.
After Simpson’s death was announced, Malcolm LaVergne, his attorney and estate executor, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he wanted to make sure the Goldman family “get zero, nothing.”
However, he has changed his tune.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Monday, LaVergne said that Ron Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman, will have his claim “accepted” and “handled in accordance with Nevada law.”
