So he should not execute the will as OJ intended? Thats not how it works
Edit. I thought you meant the executor, not the murderer OJ.
I might have massively misread your nasty nasty man comment. My sincere apologies if thats the case
No, he shouldn't. OJ had a financial obligation to the Goldmans for years that he shirked. He shouldn't get to keep doing so after he's fucking dead. OJ gets to control the disposition of what's left of his estate after his legal obligations are fulfilled.
And that's not even getting into the fact that HE MURDERED THEIR SON.
Well the son is dead, nothing can be done after the jury mistakenly acquitted Simpson. But did OJ really shirk obligations? AFAIK the whole reason he even wrote "IF I DID IT" was to try to pay them what was owed, and they accepted that deal.
The man's whole estate appears to be worth about 3 Million USD, and he's survived by four children. Maybe it's time we put the dead to rest.
What is this alternate timeline where OJ isn’t such a bad guy after all? He wrote the book because he needed cash, and was sued for the money since he still had not paid all he owed.
It’s a little hard to “put the dead to rest” when the dead person is your child and their killer is still walking the streets for the rest of his life.
He was a shit person, but I'm not seeing a better future from trying to squeeze 97 Million USD out of a 3 Million USD estate. He already served 33 years prison for a separate crime and he has 4 children who are wholly not responsible at all but may end up paying for their father's crimes.
