Ron Goldman's father and Alan Dershowitz react to death of O.J. Simpson
NBC News ^ | 4/11/24 | Daniel Arkin

"It’s no great loss to the world," Fred Goldman told NBC News.

death of O.J. Simpson drew immediate reaction around the country on Thursday, renewing public interest in his era-defining 1995 murder trial — and reviving painful memories for the families who were close to the events.

Simpson was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, capping off what legal analysts described at the time as the "trial of the century."

Fred Goldman, Ron's father, told NBC News that the news of Simpson's death only further underscored his grief for his son, who was found stabbed to death outside Nicole's home in Los Angeles on June 12, 1994.

Yeh, god forbid a family member of mine had something like that happen, but I’d probably only need a couple of sessions with a head doctor to move on. /sarc. Yours is a ridiculous post. Not sure why you and the other poster chose to focus on the father of the murder victim. Seems like you both have some questionable animosity toward him. When one has a child that dies, especially one in such a heinous manner, I give a wide berth for them to grieve and feel hatred for however long they need.

No, but OJ giving him the middle finger and hiding his money made it much worse for Goldman. First glimpse of an unequal justice system. When OJ was jailed for the Las Vegas theft, justice did occur in some form. The poor man lost his only son and had to endure public scrutiny for years. He’s not my cup of tea but it was righteous anger.

I lived less than a mile from Nicole, knew Jason Simpson and a few of OJ’s inner circle, and just remember all Hell broke loose after the murder and after the verdict. Everyone knew OJ was guilty. Even the blacks knew he was guilty, they just admitted it behind closed doors. Just the look on Kardashian’s face when the verdict was read tells it all. I felt so bad for the families - it was heartbreaking. Needless to say, traffic in my neighborhood was congested for weeks.

Interesting. I’ve seen the house on Bundy and it was re-done on the outside and I think the address was changed. I guess somebody bought it(?).

"I lost respect for Dershowitz being on the dream team."

And what about that other attorney, Robert Kardashian - how come we never hear anything about his family?

Yes, it was purchased. I could never live there. After the murders if you even dared stop in front, you’d get a ticket. It was a mess.

He was a good dad, he made them a printing press and all it does is print $1000 bills non stop.

There were busloads of people driving by when I was there in 2003. Must have been an awful time to live there, when murders happened, but you have a very interesting story to tell others : )

I was in a big three assembly plant when the verdict was read.

The plant floor erupted in celebration.

>>>I’m sure he knew O.J. was guilty. It didn’t matter about Nicole and her violent death or Ron and his life cut short.

Party on, man.>>>>

They all knew OJ was guilty. We all knew, they all knew. But Jesus said it........the love of money is at the root of all evil. Even with the religious leaders of his day......Jesus said......”The Pharisees, who LOVE MONEY.”

Just think. If Kardashian had not been an atty in the case the world would have been spared of his children, as well as the Jenner kids. Of all the lawyers in Los Angeles......

“As does OJ, Fred Goldman will have to answer to his maker for his callous and grubby remarks.”

Relax, this is nothing to lose your head over.

It was the in the end, because it only showed that if you are very wealthy, you can avoid justice.

I was visiting a huge AT&T call center and was in an enormous cafeteria.

All the black folks were hooting and hollering.

All the white folks were quiet, looking at each other like “Well, THIS is screwed up!”

You’re an idiot

A fathers loss of a child is insurmountable grief. He can say whatever he wants about the criminal
