The name O.J. Simpson is synonymous with one of the most infamous trials in modern American history.
Accused of brutally murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the crimes in a trial that captivated the world. The star lawyers of Cochran and Shapiro successfully defended Simpson, leading many to believe that justice was not served.
However, the story does not end there. Recently, it was revealed that O.J. Simpson still owes a substantial amount of money to the Goldman family, the family of Ron Goldman. Despite a court order to pay $33.5 million to the Goldman and Brown families, Simpson has only paid a fraction of that debt, leaving the Goldman family struggling to recoup what is owed to them.
According to reports from the New York Post and Bleacher Report, Simpson actually owes Ron Goldman a staggering $114 million, with interests continuing to accumulate. This has led to speculation that a trial between the Goldman and Simpson families is imminent in the coming years.
While the Goldman family did obtain the rights to a book that Simpson had been writing, titled ‘If I Did It’, they are still grappling with the substantial debt owed to them after the tragic murder of Ron Goldman. The decision to pursue legal action lies with Fred Goldman, Ron’s father. If he chooses not to proceed, then the case may never see the inside of a courtroom.
The legacy of O.J. Simpson continues to be marred by controversy and legal battles, as the Goldman family seeks to hold him accountable for the debts he owes. The story of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson’s murders continues to haunt the families involved, even decades after the trial that captivated the world.
