“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” he told the publication. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”
His disregard toward the family stems from Simpson’s planned book about the 1994 killing of Nicole Brown Simpson and Goldman. While Simpson intended to release a book titled If I Did It, the Goldman family won the rights to the project, adding Confessions of the Killer to its title. LaVergne also claims that the courts never ordered Simpson to pay the Goldmans, as reported by WBAL.
However, the Goldman family states that the issue is more about holding Simpson accountable and less about the hefty check. They won a 1997 civil suit finding Simpson liable for Goldman’s murder two years after his acquittal of the criminal charges. Following the judgment, the courts seized Simpson’s valuable items for the payout. Currently, their attorney stated that the Goldmans would evaluate the situation and see if they should proceed with the claim.
However, the court still has yet to tally Simpson’s full estate.
