OJ Simpson\u2019s 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\u2019s fatal stabbing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the amount far exceeds the Simpson estate\u2019s assets, and Goldman\u2019s father, Fred, is unlikely to receive anywhere near the full amount.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt won\u2019t be $58m plus interest, but it will be a voluntary payment. That\u2019s the point,\u201d the estate\u2019s executor, Malcolm LaVergne, said on Monday.<\/p>\n

LaVergne said he is still hoping to round up $500,000 to $1m in total assets.<\/p>\n

Simpson died of cancer in 2024 at age 76<\/a>. He was found not guilty in the 1994 knife killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman, her friend, in Los Angeles. But Simpson was taken to court again and found liable for the deaths in a separate civil case. He was ordered to pay the families $33.5m, an award that has grown due to interest.<\/p>\n

LaVergne accepted a claim of $58m, according to a court document filed Friday in Clark County, Nevada. The figure that was sought was $117m.<\/p>\n

Fred Goldman\u2019s attorney, Michaelle Rafferty, said the estate has accepted the claim as valid but \u201cit does not constitute payment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to closely monitor the probate proceedings,\u201d she said in an email.<\/p>\n

Simpson lived in Las Vegas after serving nine years in prison for armed robbery<\/a>, kidnapping and assault, charges related to a confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers in a hotel room in 2007. He typically declined to discuss his finances other than to say he lived on his NFL and private pensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OJ Simpson\u2019s estate has accepted a $58m claim from the father of Ron Goldman, decades after a jury…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":386255,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-386254","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115567582538194607","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
