O.J. Simpson's estate lawyer, Malcolm LaVergne, has reversed his earlier vow to prevent the families of murder victims Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson from collecting on a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment. LaVergne now plans to accept and handle Fred Goldman's claim in accordance with Nevada law, after initially stating that the Goldman family would receive "zero, nothing." He attributes his initial remarks to comments made by Fred Goldman's lawyers after Simpson's death. The Goldman family has only received less than 1% of the judgment owed by the Simpson estate.
