O.J. Simpson lawyer says Fred Goldman's claim 'will be accepted'

The executor of O.J. Simpson's estate has reversed his stance on working to prevent a payout of a $33.5 million judgment awarded by a jury to the families of Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Attorney Malcolm LaVergne had told the Las Vegas Review-Journal late last week that his hope was "that the Goldmans get zero, nothing" and that he would "do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing."

However, on Monday, in a telephone call to The Hollywood Reporter, LaVergne changed his opinion.
