The executor of O.J. Simpson's estate will work to prevent a payout of a $33.5 million judgment stemming from the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the families of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman nearly 30 years ago.
LAS VEGAS -- 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.
LaVergne, who had represented Simpson since 2009, said he specifically didn't want the Goldman family seeing any money from Simpson's estate. 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.
