O.J. Lawyer Calls Goldman Family 'Greedy Goldmans' For Wanting Verdict Paid Off: UPDATED

By John Amato — November 22, 2017

There's something about O.J. Simpson that lures the sleaziest of the sleaze out into the open.

Law&Crime are reporting that the Goldman family are trying to recover the 70 million dollars Simpson owes them after being found guilty in the civil trial for killing their son Ron and Nicole Brown Simpson, since O.J. is now out of jail.

Apparently, OJ's despicable lawyer sought to disparage the Goldman family for reasons only a lowlife could fathom and did so by using Trump's favorite vehicle - Twitter.

Malcolm LaVergne tweeted, "Money money money money,” LaVergne tweeted. “I’ve heard the Greedy Goldmans talk about money a thousand times since they came on my radar screen in July, but only heard them mention that poor, dead kid Ron a few times.”

Goldman's attorney David Cook was not impressed:

“He’s what, attacking the victim?” Cook said to Law&Crime. “The optics are terrible when you have Mr. LaVergne, who is an O.J. apologist, demonize Fred Goldman.”
Cook said that, ultimately, it doesn’t matter what LaVergne tweets, because Simpson was found liable in court and was ordered to pay.

You really are disgusting. They talked about their son for years after the crime and during the trial. The Goldmans son was murdered and you call then greedy. https://t.co/2W7SODBJPq

Malcolm and I have had a few Twitter responses since yesterday.

Professional, public figure, victims at this point. Publicity and profit. M.

Did they win a judgement in a trial and are they owed the money? What should we call your client then?

Yes. No one including me disputes the validity of the judgments. Gets complicated after that. I don’t have a problem with lawful, ethical enforcement actions. Everything else beyond that is fair game for criticism and commentary. M.

I don't understand your criticisms then. Why attack them for wanting the judgement to be paid out?

Everything else. Everything else. The Goldmans of 1994 through circa 2005-6, are not the Goldmans of today. The Goldmans I've dealt with since July are bullies, make threats, and look for any and every opportunity to monetize this entirely bizarre situation. M.

I didn't have a chance to respond since I had a dentist appointment this afternoon and had a crown put in.

Happy Thanksgiving!
