Nearly three decades after a civil lawsuit was filed, the estate of O.J. Simpson has agreed to a substantial payout of almost $58 million to Ron Goldman’s father. This decision marks a significant development in a long-standing legal battle.

As reported by TMZ, the settlement was revealed through court documents submitted in Las Vegas on Friday. Malcolm LaVergne, who oversees Simpson’s estate, has accepted the creditor claim from the Goldman family. This amount includes the original damages along with interest accrued over 30 years.

The tragic events date back to June 12, 1994, when Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson were brutally murdered outside her Los Angeles home. Despite being acquitted of murder charges on October 3, 1995, in one of the most publicized trials of the century, O.J. Simpson faced further legal challenges.

In 1997, a California court held Simpson liable for the wrongful deaths of Goldman and his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. The court initially ordered him to pay $33.5 million in damages. However, during Simpson’s lifetime, the families received only a fraction of the amount owed.

Simpson passed away last year at the age of 76, as reported by FOX News Digital. With his passing, the resolution of the civil judgment has finally moved forward, offering a measure of closure to the Goldman family after years of legal struggles.

LaVergne reportedly told TMZ that Simpson’s items will be auctioned off, including stolen items that he said are in the process of being recovered, as his estate is currently valued at $500,000 and $1 million.

LeVergne has only accepted creditor claims from Ron’s father, Fred Goldman, along with the Internal Revenue Service.

The federal tax amount will take first priority. LeVerne also said the estate would pay off a $636,945 claim from the state of California, but the state would have to take legal action to collect.

The decision is in complete contrast to what LeVergne told The New York Post last year.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, LaVerne said that he planned to make sure that the family of Ron Goldman didn’t get a dime from the 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 initial $33 million judgment from the 1997 civil case had reportedly increased to over $100 million, including interest.

LaVergne, according to Rolling Stone, argued that he believed the Fred Goldman’s estimate on interest had been incorrect.

However, LaVerne said he planned to “continue to work” with Fred Goldman to reach an agreement on a “more reasonable” amount.

Simpson was arrested in connection to the murder and acquitted of the crime. Simpson is now serving nine to 33 years in a Nevada prison after a jury found him guilty in 2008 of leading the gunpoint robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers in Las Vegas, and he’s seeking a new trial because he says his longtime lawyer failed to disclose that he knew about the plan in advance and told Simpson it was legal and provided bad advice at trial.
