'Zero, Nothing': O.J. Simpson Estate To Challenge $33.5 Million Payout To Victims' Families
HuffPost
Simpson was acquitted of criminal charges but found liable for the wrongful deaths of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in civil court in 1997.
The executor of O.J. Simpson’s estate says he will do “everything in” his power to keep the families of murder victims, Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, from seeing a $33.5 million wrongful death judgement granted to them by a California civil jury in 1997.
Simpson died on Wednesday at the age of 76, and on Friday, his will was filed in Nevada’s Clark County court.
The documents, reviewed by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, show the disgraced football player’s estate was placed into a trust last year with longtime lawyer Malcolm LaVergne named as executor.
LaVergne, who has represented Simpson since 2009, told the Review-Journal that the value of Simpson’s property has yet to be totaled but that he plans to fight the families from receiving any further payouts.
“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” he shared. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”
