Simpson was acquitted of the murders in 1995, but he was found liable for $33 million in a civil lawsuit filed by the victims' families in 1997. The Goldman family collected only a small part of the award, and Ron Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, is also unlikely to recover much from the estate, report the Los Angeles Times, WATE and the Associated Press. The estate is valued at less than $600,000, and administrative expenses and an IRS debt must be paid first.

OJ Simpson's estate has accepted a $58m claim from the father of Ron Goldman, decades after a jury said the NFL star and actor was liable for the man's fatal stabbing. However, the amount far exceeds the Simpson estate's assets, and Goldman's father, Fred, is unlikely to receive anywhere near the full amount. It won't be $58m plus interest, but it will be a voluntary payment.
