O.J. Simpson’s longtime lawyer and executor of his estate said Friday that he will fight to prevent the payout of a $33.5 million judgment awarded to the families of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Attorney Malcolm LaVergne, who had represented Simpson since 2009, told the Review-Journal in a phone interview that he specifically does not want the Goldman family seeing any money from Simpson’s estate.
“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” LaVergne said. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”

The will places all of Simpson’s property into a trust that was created in January, court filings show. LaVergne said the entirety of Simpson’s estate has not been tallied.
“I can’t make a predication right now as to what the value of the estate is,” LaVergne said. LaVergne said he was taken by surprise to be named the estate’s executor.

In 1997, Simpson was found liable in a civil wrongful death lawsuit, and was ordered to pay millions in damages to the families of Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.
LaVergne said that although the families have pushed for payment, there was never a court order forcing Simpson to pay out the civil judgment. He said his particular ire at the Goldman family came in part due to the events surrounding Simpson’s controversial planned book, titled “If I Did It.”
Goldman’s family, still pursuing the wrongful death judgment, won control of the manuscript and retitled the book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer,” according to the Associated Press.

Doesn’t matter what he ‘wants’................. A glass of ice water is all he wants now..................
Seems pretty clear the murderer has been stiffing the family of his dead victims for a long time
The court ordered him to pay millions.
Simpson’s response: “Naaaaah. Not gonna.”
Now he’s dead and his estate will be disposed of. Millions for the Goldman’s?
Simpson’s attorney: “Naaaaah. Not gonna.”
It’s an interesting country when the laws and the courts and the judges are just so easy for some people to ignore.
I hope the Goldman’s get their money.
The lawyer is a scumball.

So I take it he never confessed or had regrets. Oh well.
Irrational hatred for Jews.
Well when the (fake) POTUS ignores the law and court decisions, why should anyone else bother?
And yet, they still overwhelmingly vote for the same party. Politics makes strange bedfellows.
“The court ordered him to pay millions.”
OP: “ ... there was never a court order ... “
And he did not want OJ’s brain examined for CTE. I guess there was that great deal to continue to hide even after he died.
In Probate in CA l, first the expenses of administering the estate are paid. Second are the creditors; taxing authorities first, secured creditors second, unsecured creditors third. Third beneficiaries get paid. He’s not the executor until the court appoints him. He may have just talked himself out of appointment in what I read as a promise to try to cheat them out of what they’re entitled to be law
“Irrational hatred for Jews.”
What it looks like.
Don’t debts come before bequests?
There was a judgment, not an order.
Similar, but different.
You get an order to execute on a judgment. This could not happen, due to how OJ’s estate was very carefully put into trusts.
“It’s my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing,” LaVergne said. “Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing.”
************************************************************
It’s not hard to understand why or how LaVergne the scum bag lawyer got hooked up with the lowest life on earth....O.J. Simpson. Thankfully, he will be cremated.
I wonder if he’s Nation of Islam?
He’ll drain the entire estate for his legal fees.
Are the Goldmans considered creditors here? And if yes, secured creditors in some fashion?
