O.J. Simpson’s longtime attorney, who was named executor of the former NFL star’s will ahead of his death last week, has said he will ensure that any claim the parents of Ron Goldman make to retrieve the millions they were awarded in a 1998 civil judgment against the accused killer will be accepted by the estate.
Attorney Malcolm Lavergne, who represented Simpson from 2009 until the former running back’s death on April 10 after a battle with prostate cancer, said that he wants to walk back statements made last week while speaking by phone with The Hollywood Reporter on Monday afternoon. Lavergne had previously told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he’d fight to prevent a payout of the $33.5 million judgment awarded to the families of Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman; he said he specifically wanted Fred Goldman to receive “zero — nothing” of Simpson’s estate.

In the aftermath of the death of O.J. Simpson on April 10 following a cancer diagnosis, his longtime lawyer Malcolm Lavergne announced that the Hall of Fame football player will be cremated and his brain will not be donated for scientific research. “I’ve been getting calls from medical centers that are doing Cte testing asking me for O.J.’s brain…that is not happening,” Lavergne told People days after Simpson’s death. Cte, otherwise known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is a brain disease that has been widely diagnosed in deceased professional football players believed to be caused by repeated head trauma. Common symptoms of Cte include difficulty thinking, depression, impulsive behavior, short-term memory loss, and emotional instability. Lavergne shared with New York Post that the Simpson family gave a “hard no” to scientists who asked to study Simpson’s brain for the condition. He added that Simpson’s four...

Malcolm Lavergne, a longtime lawyer for O.J. Simpson and the executor of his estate, clarified his stance on Sunday about whether the Goldman family would receive money from the late former football player’s estate.
On Friday, Lavergne had said that the family of Ron Goldman — Simpson was acquitted of the murder of Goldman and Simpson’s second wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, in 1995 — should “get zero, nothing,” from the estate, he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Goldman’s family are still owed more than $100 million (including interest) from Simpson following a wrongful death judgment.
