Ron Goldman

Ron Goldman was an American restaurant waiter, model, and aspiring actor who gained national attention due to his tragic murder in 1994. Beyond his professional pursuits, he was known for his volunteer work with children suffering from cerebral palsy and held various jobs, including as a tennis instructor and emergency medical technician.

Goldman is primarily notable as one of the two victims in the 1994 murders that led to the highly publicized criminal and civil trials of former football star O.J. Simpson. Although Simpson was acquitted of the murders in the criminal trial, a subsequent civil trial found him liable for the wrongful deaths of Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, resulting in a multi-million dollar judgment awarded to Goldman's family.

Recently, Ron Goldman has returned to the news due to significant developments in the long-standing legal case. Multiple news outlets have reported that O.J. Simpson's estate has agreed to accept a claim to pay approximately $58 million to Goldman's family. This represents a major development in the enforcement of the wrongful-death judgment, coming more than three decades after the original verdict.
