The estate of the late O.J. Simpson has accepted a nearly $58 million claim from the family of Ron Goldman, who was slain alongside Simpson’s ex-wife in 1994, possibly signaling an end to the family’s decades-long quest to collect a civil judgment.
Simpson, who was acquitted of murder charges in the June 1994 deaths of Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, died in April 2024 in the Las Vegas area from prostate cancer.
Simpson was found liable for the deaths in a civil trial in Santa Monica in 1997 and ordered to pay $33.5 million. The Goldman family has said that Simpson was not cooperative in the years after the civil verdict, and much of that judgment was never been paid.
In court papers filed Friday in Nevada, the executor of Simpson’s estate, Malcolm LaVergne, wrote that the estate was accepting Fred Goldman’s financial claim in the amount of nearly $58 million. Goldman initially sought more than $117 million, but LaVergne contended that Goldman had miscalculated the amount of accrued interest.
In response to the estate’s acceptance of the claim, the Goldman family issued a statement saying, “The executor’s acceptance of the claim is a positive acknowledgement of the debt. It does not constitute payment. This acceptance allows the administration of the claim to move forward in probate. We will continue to monitor the probate process as it progresses.”
