The executor of O.J. Simpson’s estate says he will work to prevent a payout of a $33.5 million judgment awarded by a California civil jury nearly three decades ago in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the families of Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Simpson’s will was filed Friday in a Clark County court in Nevada, naming his longtime lawyer, Malcolm LaVergne, as the executor. The document shows Simpson’s property was placed into a trust that was created this year.
LaVergne told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the entirety of Simpson’s estate has not been tallied. Under Nevada law, an estate must go through the courts if its assets exceed $20,000.
Simpson died Wednesday without having paid the lion’s share of the civil judgment that was awarded in 1997 after jurors found him liable. With his assets set to go through the court probate process, the Goldman and Brown families could be in line to get paid a piece of whatever Simpson left behind.
LaVergne, who had represented Simpson since 2009, said he specifically didn’t want the Goldman family seeing any money from Simpson’s estate.
“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” he 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.”
LaVergne did not immediately return phone and email messages left by The Associated Press on Saturday.
Although the Brown and Goldman families have pushed for payment, LaVergne said there was never a court order forcing Simpson to pay the civil judgment. The attorney told the Review-Journal that his particular ire at the Goldman family stemmed in part from the events surrounding Simpson’s planned book, titled “If I Did It.” Goldman’s family won control of the manuscript and retitled the book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.”
IT TAKES A SPECIAL TYPE OF ASSHOLE TO HAVE THE GALL TO TRY AND CHEAT THE GOLDMANS OUT OF WHAT LITTLE REMAINS
FUCK THIS DUDE
“…Goldman’s family won control of the manuscript and retitled the book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.”…”
“I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.”
There, FIFY.
Just my speculation but I have always believed O.J. took the rap for his son doing the actual killing. Because there was never DNA performed on his son, there would never be an exact match to put the blame on anyone. The DNA from OJ could never prove for certain he was the killer. As for the later robbery charges, he got what he deserved.
At $500 per billable hour, this POS will likely drag this out for years. Worse, as OJ’s son is the only possible alternative murderer, HE may end up with more money than the victims of his and his father’s crimes/coverups.
Hey LaVergne, how did Goldman’s family win control of the manuscript? OJ must have had really shitty legal representation for that to happen. Such shitty legal representation that I doubt the owed payout to the Goldmans has a chance in hell of being denied.
Seriously, was OJ’s Son from the first marriage in love with Brown too?
Was he also plowing her in between his father beating her?
What was his motive?
He was 26 at the time and its doubtful that he was thinking about inheritance & lifestyle at that age.
As Norm MacDonald said a million times on SNL – OJ DID IT
OJ was a documented wife beater.
Did anyone ever see OJ wearing a wife beater T shirt?
fkng dindu murdered 2 yt-people, asshole
OJ was a murdering turd as were all his lawyers. I hope OJ is enjoying HELL !
SIZE 12 BRUNO MAGLI SHOEPRINT ON THE FLOORBOARD OF THE BRONCO CONTAINED ALL 3 BLOOD TYPES
GAME OVER
OH WAIT, BLACK REPARATIONS AND SUCH
ENJOY THE REAL JUSTICE, OJ..NO REST FOR THE WICKED
I wonder is OJ has met up with Johnnie Cochran in hell yet? They can commensurate over old times, and share a laugh over how they suckered the imbeciles on the jury. As they enjoy a swim in the lake of unquenchable fire .
So OJ’s son did it? He must be a criminal mastermind. He had to time the murder perfectly so OJ had no alibi, wore OJ’s Bruno Mali shoes and gloves, somehow left OJ’s blood at the scene, and in OJs shower (father and son do NOT have identical DNA), And his son somehow wanted to set-up his old man to take the rap? I don’t think so. Anyone who watched the trial 30 years ago, knows OJ did it.
PS.
You have OJ to thank for the Kardashians.
The Father of The Family of Whores, Robert Kardashian, was on Stabby McF#ck Juice’s Defense team.
His fame & fortune increased after the exposure.
They have been lowering the IQ’s of the Planet for Decades Since.
YOU’RE RIGHT, KCIR…WHORES ONLY, NOTHING MORE
WHERE IS ROBERT K NOW???
“OH, HELLO, OJ!!”
Benny,
I’m Sure OJ is giving it right back to him.
Cheers!
