The estate of O.J. Simpson has agreed to pay Ron Goldman’s father nearly $58 million, as shown in recent court documents.

The backstory: O.J. Simpson, former NFL star who died in April 2024 at age 76, was acquitted in criminal court for the 1994 murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. • Despite criminal acquittal, a 1997 civil lawsuit found Simpson liable for wrongful death and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the families.

Driving the news: The original judgment amount has grown to over $57 million due to accumulated interest over 20+ years. • Until Simpson’s death, he had not paid most of the judgment. • In July 2024, Fred Goldman filed a creditor claim against Simpson’s estate seeking $117 million, including accrued interest.
