Simpson was accused of killing Goldman, along with his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, in 1994 but was acquitted after a lengthy trial.
Malcolm LaVergne, Simpson’s longtime lawyer and the executor of his estate, has said that he plans to fight to ensure that the families of Goldman and Brown do not get the $33.5 million payout that was awarded after the civil wrongful death suit in 1997.
Per legal documents filed this Friday, LaVergne has been named the will’s executor and is in charge of overseeing Simpson’s estate. He has since told the Las Vegas Review Journal it is his wish that the Goldmans, specifically, get nothing.
“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” he 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.”
LaVergne has also revealed that OJ Simpson was diagnosed with prostate cancer “several years ago” and had gone into remission before it returned last year.
The former running back, who dabbled in acting and also worked as a sportscaster after his retirement, died in hospice care at his home in Las Vegas Valley on Wednesday, with his family taking to social media to announce his passing.
OJ Simpson Was Angry At The Goldman Family Over His Book
OJ Simpson’s attorney claimed he was surprised at being tasked with the deceased’s estate but would take the responsibility very seriously. He was also unable to provide an estimate of the value at the time.
“I can’t make a predication right now as to what the value of the estate is,” he explained. “I am flummoxed as to why he would name me as the personal representative or the executor, but he did. And it’s something I’m going to take very seriously.”
While Simpson was found liable for the deaths of Goldman and Brown, LaVergne notes that there was never a court order forcing him to pay out the civil judgment.
Simpson was particularly angry at the Goldman family for acquiring control of his book, “If I Did It,” and renaming it “If I Did It: Confessions Of The Killer.”
