"Orenthal James Simpson, better known as O.J. Simpson, continues to make headlines more than a year after his death. The executor of the former NFL star's estate has reached a multimillion-dollar settlement, agreeing to pay nearly $58 million (49.9 million) to Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman. Both Ron and Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown were found dead more than 30 years ago, stabbed to death in the courtyard of her condominium in Brentwood, California."
"In 1995, he was accused of murdering his ex-wife and her friend, a part-time model and waiter. The trial lasted a year and became one of the darkest episodes in the history of the American justice system. O. J. Simpson represented the paradigm of the influence of money on judicial decisions. A year after Simpson was acquitted, Fred Goldman, a lawyer, took the case to a civil court."
O. J. Simpson was acquitted in criminal court of the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. A civil judge later found him liable for their wrongful deaths and ordered him to pay millions in damages to their families. Simpson paid only about $130,000 of more than $33 million owed and avoided payment until his death from cancer last April. Executor Malcolm LaVergne accepted Fred Goldman’s claim for $57,997,858.12 plus judgment interest, to be paid from Simpson’s estate. The victims were found stabbed to death in the courtyard of Nicole Brown’s Brentwood condominium.
