Hall of Fame running back O.J. Simpson was accused of murdering Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. Though he was acquitted, many still see the evidence against Simpson as overwhelming. But after Simpson’s death this week, the family of Goldman knows that they will never see Simpson brought to true justice and accountability.
Following news of the death of O.J. Simpson, the family of Ron Goldman released a statement in which they said that “the hope for true accountability has ended.”
“The news of Ron’s killer passing away is a mixed bag of complicated emotions and reminds us that the journey through grief is not linear,” Kim and Fred Goldman said.

“For three decades we tirelessly pursued justice for Ron and Nicole, and despite a civil judgment and his confession in If I Did It, the hope for true accountability has ended. We will continue to advocate for the rights of all victims and survivors, ensuring our voices are heard both within and beyond the courtroom. And despite his death, the mission continues; there’s always more to be done. Thank you for keeping our family, and most importantly Ron, in your hearts for the last 30 years.”
Simpson passed away at the age of 76 after a battle with cancer.
