OJ Simpson civil judgment collection to continue after death, Goldman attorney pledges
David Cook says OJ Simpson has died ‘without penance’
By Greg Norman FOXBusiness
A California attorney seeking to collect a civil judgment from O.J. Simpson after he was found responsible for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in a 1997 civil trial is vowing Thursday to push forward with collection following Simpson’s passing.
Simpson, 76, "succumbed to his battle with cancer" on Wednesday as he "was surrounded by his children and grandchildren," the Simpson family announced in a statement.
"I’ve been dealing with this problem since 2008, so it's been a long time, so I’m still dealing with the matter," San Francisco-based attorney David Cook told FOX Business on Thursday. "As to O.J. Simpson here, it’s really simple, it’s called dead without penance. He’s gone, but it’s without penance. For Ron, obviously he’s gone."
Simpson famously was acquitted in a 1995 murder trial for the brutal slayings of his ex-wife and Goldman outside of her Los Angeles home.
