O.J. Simpson’s longtime lawyer and executor of his estate said Friday that he will fight to prevent the payout of a $33.5 million judgment awarded to the families of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Attorney Malcolm LaVergne, who had represented Simpson since 2009, told the Review-Journal in a phone interview that he specifically does not want the Goldman family seeing any money from Simpson’s estate.
“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” LaVergne said. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”

The will places all of Simpson’s property into a trust that was created in January, court filings show. LaVergne said the entirety of Simpson’s estate has not been tallied.
“I can’t make a predication right now as to what the value of the estate is,” LaVergne said. LaVergne said he was taken by surprise to be named the estate’s executor.

In 1997, Simpson was found liable in a civil wrongful death lawsuit, and was ordered to pay millions in damages to the families of Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.
LaVergne said that although the families have pushed for payment, there was never a court order forcing Simpson to pay out the civil judgment. He said his particular ire at the Goldman family came in part due to the events surrounding Simpson’s controversial planned book, titled “If I Did It.”
Goldman’s family, still pursuing the wrongful death judgment, won control of the manuscript and retitled the book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer,” according to the Associated Press.

There were two trials. The DA trial snd the civil case. Happens as a matter of course.
Then he’ll be forced to disgorge them.

Disgusting that Simpson - even in death - does not pay any restitution to The Goldmans.
Malcom will surely take a big cut for himself if he hasn’t already.
So glad God deals with each person in due time.
it probably got signed over to kids or some thing. deceivers and liars almost never stop. OJ is prime example.
PURE EVIL SQUARED!
“””it probably got signed over to kids or some thing. deceivers and liars almost never stop. OJ is prime example.”””
I read elsewhere that OJ created some trusts to hide his assets.
Given that OJ’s house was in Florida, OJ’s kiddies will have to deal with Florida Probate Laws and they may find they have to get a job as a barrista at Starbucks.
It’s 99% likely OJ had CTE. It would explain some of OJ’s behavior. Same deal with Aaron Hernandez. Although, not all of it came from football, his father was known to be abusive.
So the Juice is being cremated. Too bad. A lot of people would have enjoyed pissing on his grave.
