- The family of Ron Goldman shared exclusive comments this morning with 12News this afternoon. We're revisiting our 1-on-1 from 2017 with his father in light of OJ Simpson's death.
Fred is 7 years older than OJ, but still got to see this day. Even if he dies tomorrow, he saw this day!
OJ IS IN PARADISE HES LIVING IN AGONY. WAKE UP.
@@KELAY24836 Education.
See what day? A guy dying from cancer? I’m sure he rather have seen him die in jail than living his life. Him dying doesn’t help Goldman. He wanted him found guilty sentenced to life or death I’d imagine. Oj lived his life and yall still talk about this trial or murders. He either did it or had a hand either way found not guilty. Gotta leave it alone.
I am so grateful he did. Robin Samsoe's mother didn't get her wish of outliving her daughter's killer Rodney Alcala. She died not long before he did.
He is not happy he didn't get the money but him and his dughter got a tv show and some fame out of it.
I empathize with Mr Goldman. His son was in the wrong place at the wrong time. May Ron RIP
Why? Ron was involved in drug trafficking just like his boss and coworkers. They all got what was coming to them.
That is so true
Poor Ron. Shouldn’t have associated with that mud 🐋Nicole.
@@Thaddeus-ml8ifYou absolutely correct
@@Thaddeus-ml8if that is the tragedy
I met Mr. Goldman a few years after all this played out. He had the most intense blue eyes. He was a very nice man.
He is a thief trying to steal OJ’s money.
He is a thief trying to steal OJ’s money.
Blue eyes make him a nice man, you people are unbelieve.
@@feleciagmiller872 - He didn’t say that. He commented on his blue eyes. There is a period after that sentence. He didn’t say he was a very nice man BECAUSE of his intense blue eyes. Your reading comprehension needs some work, your spelling too.
I met him while visiting Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall around 2003. He was a salesman at Nordstrom and was very kind. I'm sure I had a shocked face when he approached me. I wanted to just say, "Sir, I'm sorry for your loss and you inspire me with your dignified manner" but figured that he didn't know me, and didn't need to hear anything from me, so I just thanked him for his help and kept shopping.
What a horrible way to find out your son had passed away. Sorry for the family.
Murderrd you mean 💔
It disturbs me to see Fred get ridiculed. His own son got brutally murdered and justice was never delivered!!
Justice was delivered it's just not what Alot of people wanted ..
Correct. No justice, no peace.
@@littleme3597 nah, some of us are civilized
No justice was not delivered, it was a sad day when a murderer gets away with taking the life of the mother of your own children, not to mention a complete stranger who just happened to be kind enough to try to bring someone's glasses they forgot at the restaurant. OJ was guilty, plenty of evidence, I do hope he has allowed an autopsy be performed on his brain for CTE, otherwise I have no sympathy for him, he deserves a very dark place on the other side.
Only in America can you kill someone... be found innocent of jail time, but guilty so you can not profit from it.
They gave him his freedom but took away his money.
Welcome to usa.
Fred Goldman has always acted like a gentleman. Yes, he absolutely fought for Ron's justice, but he did it with dignity.
A class act.
Correct !!!!!
Please. Going after money OJ’s two youngest were entitled to. Real classy
justice my arse he only wanted money
So sad
Mr Goldman always looked like a pillar of strength through all of this. You could see how much his family leaned on him. Huge respect to this man.
My sympathy for the Goldman family! It's never easy to loose a child!
A knot is “loose”, you “lose” your car keys.
What a horrible way to be told about the death of your loved one. The coroner's office should have been ashamed.
How awful
Barb:. How is a GOOD WAY...with that news?
@@littleme3597 um maybe someone coming in person 🤷♀️
@@littleme3597you literally are unable to think of a better way? Not even one? Honestly 🙄
i agree with you 100%. it is nothing short of appalling that this happened.
He was a stand up Dad !!! I hope he has some peace and closer now.
He's in a new normal like he said. He will never be the old Fred again.
Fred and Kim were the first ones I thought of. I'm glad he lived to see this day, and to get the only justice he will ever get for his son. I've never forgotten him, Kim, or Ron and I pray that's some consolation.
Totally🤍🤍🤍
Justice will be served to O.J. Simpson. I firmly believe with my whole heart that God's vengeance will be far worse than any punishment and judgment that can be delivered on His earth. O.J. did a nine year bid and so with that, he served a very short sentence for his actions because God gave him every opportunity to repent and he refused so now, God will most definitely His way. I agree in that Mr. Goldman and Kim are able to still be here to be able to see his demise but I also feel equally as bad for O.J.'s children, all of them, for their loss because nobody wins here. Both Nicole and Ron did not deserve to die so tragically. My heart still goes out to Nicole's and Ron's family. This is all so very sad because this story will never end. O hope and pray that the Brown's and Goldman's finally get what they so rightfully deserve. 🙏🏿😣
@@midnight_rose2700 OJ up in heaven laughing at Freddy Goldman
@@gjezik I highly doubt that. 🤷♀️
You're sick! you guys praise death. OJ was proven innocent and nobody ever took the time to find out who really killed those people because the police and the mafia was involved. Calling OJ Simpson death Justice is FAKE JUSTICE. OJ innocent!!!
Mr. Goldman is a true gentleman. So, so sad. God bless him and his family.
Despite all Mr Goldman has been through in the last 30 years, he has remained a class act and has aged very nicely!! Athough nothing will bring back his son or Nicole, I'm so happy that he was able to outlive OJ!!
I agree with you being happy that he outlived OJ. Didn’t think about that until I saw your post so thanks for saying it.
Everyone dies, 25, 45, 85. Dead is dead. OJ lived his life to the fullest😮
He is 83 and looks great.
AMÉN!
Acquitted
Was a circus not a trial!!!
Rip OJ
It more like a three ring 🎪
The judge was incompetent.
@@Jeff-sp7bg 🤢🤧
Yes it was!
Prayers for the Goldman family 🙏
The Goldman family is so decent. Kim Goldman reached out to me a few years ago in order to counsel and comfort me regarding an issue I was going through. The length and depth of her response was deeply generous. And her kindness and strength was palpable.
I hope that ,in this event of the end of (in my opinion) a monster, that they receive the words and action they need and that they be blessed just as they have blessed others all these long years. May God bestow upon them the gift of health and long life.
OJ took 2 lives and ruined many others. At least Fred Goldman outlived him. Peace to all of OJ‘s victims, living and gone.
🙏💖
Damn fred is still alive. How did we all get so old. We are all doomed the clock keeps ticking. No even oj Simpson could outrun the clock. Rip oj we love you brother. Only a true legend gets away with a double murder
OJ Simpson murders made big careers for many people.
When was o.j convicted of taking two lives?😮
OJ is innocent
Kim is the daughter. Not the wife ❤
Pretty awful mistake.
Wow! Talk about not doing your research. That was horrible. Kim Goldman is the daughter.
Just goes to show you how much truth you’re getting in your news coverage nowadays.
Terrible journalism ☹️
@@sadguy399 the same truth about who killed Nicole
I watched that trial everyday, after work. 8 months. What disturbed me most of all, was how many black people cheered when the verdict was read. I don’t care if he was a celebrity, an actor, a famous athlete, a Heisman trophy winner, he murdered two people. I’m white, if a white famous athlete, actor murdered two people, I wouldn’t cheer. Sometimes, being loyal because of skin color is not appropriate. This was one such case.
Tell it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All I can say is that White America finally got a small tiny bit of the taste of a flavor that Black America has swallowed for ages. I am sorry for the loss of Mr. Goldman's son. I am also sorry for Ms. Till's loss of her son. I am sorry for all the victims families of the fruit trees in the deep south of this nation that never saw justice. May God continue to bless and keep this man much like he did Ms. Mamie Till.
@@janicethomas3278 - Sadly, there have been terrible injustices in this world. Hopefully, we have learned from the mistakes made. Whites have murdered blacks, blacks have murdered whites. Black on black murder is exploding in major cities. It’s unfortunate, it’s sad, and must be addressed and stopped. Having said that, I refuse to use the legal system to make political statements. We can’t weaponize our justice system. That’s a very dangerous, slippery slope.
The OJ trial was a disgrace to the justice system.
Very well said. Unfortunately the race card was played. OJ is now burning in hell. Prayers for Goldman family.
Now white people got a taste of what Black people goes through,, deal w it. Life goes on what white people tell Black people
I have thought of Fred and Kim Goldman since the trial. May God give them comfort. Ron was truly innocent. May he rest in peace.
I have always felt that the victims in this case were terribly dehumanised. Thankfully, this video compels us to realise that two people were savagely killed.
I guess you feel like black people feel everyday, with your white justice system.
Back in 1994, they were already trying to make anyone who spoke out against their filthy idol as a racist
God bless the Goldman family. Ron was such a happy and handsome young man. I'm so sorry for their loss. ❤ 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼
All he was doing was a special favour, returning Judith's glasses (Nicole's mother).
@@camlacasse3760 Yes!
Exactly! Poor Ron and Nicole. They were so young
I had the pleasure of talking to Mr. Goldman on the phone when he worked and Nordstrom in Scottsdale, AZ. He was such a nice man. I told him how much I admired him and his strength. He was so humble and loving. Praying for you still. . . . .
Did you ask him why he blames everyone else for OJ getting off, but for 30 years he won’t blame the cops and criminologists for messing up the case before it even went to trial? But, he blames the defense lawyers, the judge, the jurors, society, and anyone else BUT the correct people. Not guilty doesn’t mean innocent. How come no one asks him this? They just let him rant and whine for 30 years for fear of being insensitive he lost his son. He sued OJ why don’t he sue the LAPD for how they handled the case? Hmmmmm
Bless the Goldman family
He is still devastated to this day.I don’t blame him.
Well he's right, time doesn't heal everything.

OJ probably was innocent
@@hennessyblack5891 I feel sorry for you, hopefully life is more fortunate for you in the future!
@@hennessyblack5891 you’re pathetic
Kim is his daughter - not his wife.
Kim is the sister of Ron.
It's a shame the media can't get even the basics of a story straight.
That was quite disturbing.
Do your research… Kim is Ron’s sister
Thank you. I thought I didn’t hear that right
Media gets it wrong again. Everyone else who ever heard of this case knows Kim is his daughter.
I'm happy that Fred outlived OJ. It's a small part in healing and brings some peace for the remainder of Fred's time on earth.
GOD bless you and yours Mr goldman😊❤❤
Sorry Fred it took 30 yrs to get justice for your innocent son who was murdered in a horrific way by a monster.
OJ innocent

What he needs is to forgive and to stop blaming OJ for something he didn't do proven in a court of Law

We all know he did it. We all know why he got off too. Nothing will change that. OJ will always be known as a murderer.
@@archangelvvvI totally agree with you
Still Praying for Fred and Kim Goldman and the Brown Family. RIP Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.

The worst thing a parent will ever go through is losing a child. Iknow exactly what Ron Goldmans father has gone through, I went through it myself, I lost my daughter in 2004 and my youngest son 3 days before father's day 2022.
I empathize with you, we lost our young son to illness, I hope you find peace.

I’m so sorry 😞
WTF? @@dylannroof5291
I am so very sorry.
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy... Up yours OJ
It's tragic to lose a child, you never forget. It gets better with time and they are always in your heart. To the Goldman and Brown family, peace and love. ❤
Did they get any of the money?
What always bothered me the most about the entire thing was seeing this man completely & utterly broken on national television. For whatever reason it’s always stuck with me & the main memory I have of the trial & everything else to do with OJ. Everytime I saw OJ on tv I felt physically sick over what he did to those people. I hope the Goldmans find peace & live the rest of their lives with some semblance of happiness.
RESEMBLANCE!

@@Jeff-sp7bg ...gee..
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE ELSE DID IT!!!!??????????????????? IS YOUR MIND REALLY THAT WEAK ??🤣🤣⚡️🤣🤣🤣
Crazy how the public forgets so quickly.
There will never be absolute healing or a complete end to the pain of the Goldman and Brown families 😢😢
Simpson escaped justice for thirty years but will surely be judged now. May Nicole and Ron finally rest in peace and may their families find closure.
Absolutely, the judge he will be facing now will not care about a dream team of lawyers and public opinion or skin color.

I lost a sister to a man who murdered her and shot my parents. There is no closure. You just never forget the horror of it all. By Gods grace we move along in life and do our best. My parents have since passed themselves. But they lived with that day for many yrs. They watched helplessly as their daughter was murdered. Her murderer died in prison and I was so relieved. I just said, justice is finally done. RIP Brenda.
What an awesome man! So graceful after losing his only son. Prayers
Please save that nonsense. He tried to find an innocent man guilty
@@mja9376 NOPE. OJ did it. But you keep on believing he was innocent. That's your choice. His legacy will be the murder of 2 people. Not his football greatness.

@@Master-cf2vl the evidence in the case proved his innocence. Let it go

@@mja9376 Why was he found liable then?
Prayers for Ron& Nicole’s family
Mr. Goldman IS an extraordinary human being. I can only imagine the pain and rage and agony he must have felt and the impulse for revenge must have been almost unstoppable, BUT instead, he CHOSE NOT to be a murderer. He CHOSE to be righteous instead of evil.
OJ could have done the same and saved a lot of people a lot of pain and agony.
May the Goldman & Nicole's families finally heal 🙏 ✨️ God Bless All
No his death will not be healing bc I'm sure that's not the way they wanted him to die they wanted a public lynching eventhough the man was found not quilty, the civil trial was revenge for white America guess those jurors got it right huh?
God bless the Goldman family
What a father. I feel for this man. Anyone would be lucky to call him dad. I pray he can rest in peace for the rest of his days knowing God handled OJ in the end and is handling him now.
I'm surprised that he has aged so well, despite the pain he has been through.
Fred Goldman, class act!
I’m so sorry for this family’s loss. We will never forget.
Fred is a strong guy. Ron must've been an amazing young man to have been raised by this father. I don't understand any ridicule of this man.
God bless you Mr. Goldman & family. You have always been in our thoughts & prayers. Blessings from Houston, Tx
They didn’t even send someone out from the coroner’s office to tell them in person?? 😱
That's what I thought. Maybe it's done only on TV shows, because that's what I assumed happened in real life.
They didn't even bother NOW to interview him in person. They had old footage from 2017 and called Kim, Ron's sister Fred's wife. Wth?
@@cuccicucci4480 that could be because he didn't agree to a 2024 interview and opted for a written statement instead.

I don't understand how somebody can be sued for a crime after they were acquitted of it. It seems like that shouldn't be able to happen.
Civil lawsuits for wrongful death are common. The Juice was found liable for their deaths. He went out of his way, including to prison, to thwart the Goldman family. Your opinion doesn’t count in a court of law.
The Goldman's suffered the tragic loss of their son. The money was never going to bring him back. OJ finally passing on brings some closure but they continue to advocate for victims and have been champions of keeping Ron's memory alive. The incident gripped a nation. Wrong place at wrong time changes everything. Burying a child is devastating.
How is him dying bring closure?

I was about to respond too.
It was a mistake not disrespecting
Agreed. They couldn’t get it rught
Irresponsible journalism to get that important detail wrong.
How horrible for the family. Its one thing to lose a child to an accident or disease. But, to have your chld savagely murdered has to be devastating.
And like they said... Ron fought like hell to protect himself and Nicole. They were ambushed.
Why would you minimize the loss of a child to accident or disease? You think that’s easier??
@@iikidzmomMine No, I lost my only sister to substance abuse. It was devastating. I un retired and went to work at a residential treatment facility in admissions.

As a father myself, I feel, sympathize and fully support you Mr. Goldman. I cannot imagine and fathom what you and your family have endured losing a son, brother and friend.

Wrong.

@@mw12349 OJ didn't do it.
I had OJ’s book in my house and couldn’t stand it. It was like evil was in the bookshelf. I had to get rid of it asap.
I would never want any of his possessions. If I was family of the browns and Goldman, I wouldn’t allow anything he owned to come in the house ever.
In that same house I rented, my landlady showed up one day and removed boxes from the garage where they were stored high up. They were her court reporting records. Nicole’s 911 calls from the previous battery had been subpoenaed for OJ’s trial!
And we need reparations for what these devils did to us
💔💔💔💔💔 My Heart and Prayers has always (and will always) be with you and yours, Goldman Family.
Shouldn’t there be some respect for the jury verdict. To continue to say he was guilty is like election deniers.

Fred Goldman seems like one of the most grounded, truly compassionate and sensitive men I've seen in public life. The poor man - he did not deserve this hell. He has so much dignity and is so articulate - and yes, he really seems like a truly decent human being who loved his family and son beyond all measure. A counterpoint to the selfish, narcissistic and cruel OJ Simpson.
For a long time, the media referred to Ron Goldman simply as “Nicole’s friend,” adding insult to fatal injury. Fred set the record straight 😢.
And this report said Kim is his wife. She is his sister.
Do you mean he was not her friend? He didn’t know her?
@@yellowroses1316 It means they didn't use Ron Goldman's name, they just called him 'Nicole's friend' as if he didn't have an identity of his own.
@@jessiet8706 I’m sure they did it for a purpose. Perhaps, the U.S media was on the murderer’s side. They made him look innocent even though he was 100 percent guilty.
@@jessiet8706 The media was on O.J Simpson’s side. That’s why. They wanted to make him look innocent so they played with some facts and intentionally hid Ron Goldman’s identity.

What have you done positive in the last 30 years?you're not the only family in the world that's lost a loved one.losing a daughter is far worse.parents should never have to bury their kid.

Praying for the Goldmans and Brown family today~They have always been in our prayers~
How did they "pursue justice"? He was found not guilty in a criminal trial, and guilty in a wrongful death trial. There was nothing left to pursue.
Bless you
In my neck of the woods, if at all possible death notifications are done in person by a police officer (often supervisor) accompanied by a Chaplin. Wishing the family the greatest comfort possible.
I agree, it's the same here. A police officer and a Chaplin usually does all death notifications to families in person in a situation such as this. It's so cold and unfeeling as well as inhuman to do something like this over the phone.
God Bless the Goldman family 🙏🏾
Mr. Goldman's emotions have always affected me the most deeply. This hurt him so, so much. And I could feel that. So very sad. 😢
Now the real judge is here
I had the opportunity to meet Fred , shake his hand and have a short personal conversation with him. Shortly after the murders.
