OJ SIMPSON SPINNING IN HELL: FORCED TO PAY $58M TO MURDER VICTIMS

More than 31 years after O.J. Simpson is found liable for the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpsonand Ron Goldman in a wrongful death civil trial, Simpson’s estate finally agrees to paydamages awarded to Goldman’s family in 1997. While the jury granted the families $33.5million, Simpson’s estate has agreed to pay Ron's father, Fred Goldman, $58 million plusinterest. It’s unclear what spurred the change of heart, executor Malcolm Lavergne previouslyswearing to never pay Goldman a dollar. Although the estate accepts the $58 million claim, the executor says he expects to collect only $500,000 to $1 million total in assets. The estate plans to auction off Simpson's possessions to raise money. Though Lavergne agrees to the $58 million payout, it’s unclear whether the estate canafford the full amount. Executor Malcolm Lavergne says the estate plans to pay out as much of the sum as possible as items continue to be auctioned off. However, Lavergne claims several items were stolen, and of those that have been located, legal battles to recover them are still ongoing. One year after Simpson is acquitted in criminal court, a civil trial begins. The families of NicoleBrown Simpson and Ron Goldman sue Simpson for their wrongful deaths. The Civil trial lastsfive months, the 12-person jury finding OJ Simpson responsible for the murders of Nicole andRon. The jury awards $8.5 million in compensatory damages to Ron Goldman's parents, anddetermine Simpson should pay $25 Million in punitive damages to both victims’ families. The Goldman family aren’t the only ones Simpson owes money. Simpson’s estate owes federaltaxes and state taxes as well. While Lavergne agrees to the Goldman settlement, he sayshis priority is paying off the IRS. Lavergne is doubling down on skirting the California taxes,saying the state will have to sue to recover the $637,000 claim they filed with the estate.Joining Nancy Grace Today: Chris Melcher - Celebrity Lawyer and Partner at Walzer Melcher & Yoda with deep experience in complex family law litigation, website: WalzerMelcher.com Dr. Cheryl Arutt- Licensed Clinical and Forensic Psychologist specializing in Trauma Recovery, PTSD and EMDR,  website: askdrcheryl.com,  website: CreativeEMDR.com , IG: @askdrcheryl Jon Buehler - Former Detective for Modesto Police Department, California (31 years in Robbery and Homicide), was a detective in Scott Peterson Investigation Shannon Henry- President & Founder of SASS Go, (Surviving Assault Standing Strong) a nonprofit on a mission to eradicate abuse, trafficking and violence against women and girls globally, Case Consultant, Adjunct Professor at the University of South Carolina in the Department of Education, www.sassgo.org, @sassgoglobal FB, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok  Alexis Tereszcuk - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories'  Dave Mack - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
