Well how about that…… Fred Goldman outlived OJ Simpson… When asked to comment on Simpson croaked, Goldman said what millions of other Americans are thinking. It’s no great loss to the world. Yes, I am aware of the Goldman family’s politics, but I don’t care.
NBC reporter Daniel Arkin said he spoke to Goldman Thursday to get his reaction to news of Simpson’s death after a battle with cancer.
“The only thing I have to say is it’s just further reminder of Ron being gone all these years,” Goldman said. “It’s no great loss to the world. It’s a further reminder of Ron’s being gone.”
Two years after Simpson’s acquittal for the murder of Goldman and his ex-wife, he was found civilly liable for their deaths and ordered to pay $33.5 million to the families of the murder victims.
Little to nothing was paid back to the families, however. Simpson started a sports memorabilia business to help pay back the money, but that venture fell apart after he was arrested for armed robbery and kidnapping in 2008.
Simpson served nine years before being released in 2017.
