Following the death of O.J. Simpson, Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman who was murdered in 1994, stressed the importance of remembering the victims rather than Simpson himself.
Fred Goldman, father of Ron Goldman who was killed alongside Nicole Brown in 1994, commented on the recent death of O.J. Simpson, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the victims rather than Simpson himself. Expressing his ongoing grief, Goldman stated, “The only thing that is important today are the victims. Nothing else is important today.” His remarks highlight the continuing impact of the events that occurred nearly three decades ago in Brentwood, California.
David Cook, the Goldman family’s attorney, remarked that Simpson had “died without penance,” implying that Simpson never acknowledged culpability for the murders. Representatives for Nicole Brown raised points regarding gender violence and legal system failures in response to Simpson’s death.
Despite Simpson’s acquittal in the 1995 criminal trial, his involvement in the deaths and subsequent civil case verdict, which found him liable for the wrongful deaths, had a lasting adverse effect on his public image. The reflections from Fred Goldman bring attention to the lasting significance of remembering the victims of the 1994 tragedy.
