Goldman's Lawyer: Show Me the Money!

Posted May 10th 2008 3:34PM by TMZ Staff

In addition to the shocking claim made in Mike Gilbert's upcoming book that O.J. confessed to the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman -- Gilbert also claims to have helped O.J. keep money away from the Goldman family.

The Goldman's lawyer, David J. Cook, is pissed.

Cook told TMZ: "It's disgusting on two levels. It's another case of folks like Mr. Gilbert drinking the cocktail of celebrity and being intoxicated by Mr. Simpson's celebrity status -- and in doing so committing a moral, ethical and legal wrong. It's no different than the Las Vegas debacle."

Although Cook believes Gilbert's book won't be 100% true, he said, "There are strong strands of truth in [Gilbert's] story. We have heard over the years of Simpson walking around with bags of money, and then the money disappears. He needed his cronies to help him. Gilbert is just one of Santa's little helpers ... this book won't be an X marks the spot, but it's an enormous break."

The Goldman family won a $33.5 million wrongful death judgment back in 1997.

17. The Goldmans are not the only ones who won a judgment against OJ. The children of Nicole did, too. Bankrupting OJ also makes paupers of Nicoles children.

22. ANY LAWYERS OUT THERE? Can the California DA try OJ for perjury at the murder trail? Even if they lost, it would certainly take care of the "bags of money" is supposedly carrying! And can't this Mike gilbert be prosecuted for some form of aiding and abetting?

24. Murdering someone and getting caught red handed just does not happen in this country without consequences, and so far OJ has not had to suffer any. I think it's time for someone to take matters in to their own hands. MAKE OJ DISSAPEAR, do the whole country a favor! Just like Hoffa. A new message needs to be sent, you cannot murder someone, two people, and go play golf for the rest of your life. We aren't in Mexico.

Posted at 8:13PM on May 10th 2008 by OJ is a murderer who is walking free!

25. where are the white supremicists when you need them? Wish one of them would take matters into their own hands!

26. If the deceased in this case had been to minorities none of you would even give a damn. The fact is because it was KEN and BARBIE everyone is still in an uproar. You are all calling him "guilty" and a "murderer" and he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. Get over it!

The Goldman's will never have closer. They will all go to there graves with this man as their main focus in life. Which means, if he did in fact kill your loved ones and take their lives...he also got yours. RIP GOLDMANS!

28. He did it, he did it and he's never gonna pay for it! LMFAO!

29. hey uh....blacgirl is it? you 4got the k. anyway, the race card was
played out years ago sweetie. even your own kind knows this man is
guilty. that includes all the black idiots who stood outside of that
courtroom supporting this murderer. they supported him BECAUSE of his
race and BECAUSE he murdered 2 white people. which makes them AND you all racists. and some how, all you racist
bastards found some kind of sick glory in what he did to these 2
people and YOUR ignorant a$$ is still attempting to bask in his
glory. get over it. he's going to rot in jail one way or another. and the statement "he was found not guilty by his peers" is beyond laughable considering most blacks find that when a black person IS convicted of a crime by their peers, the decision is racist and a mistake made by society and our legal system. when a black gets off, they MUST not be guilty, but when they get thrown in jail, it's becasue of the white devil, the white man who's always "tryin to hold a brotha or sista own."

30. Like I said, if it wasn't KEN and BARBIE, no one would still be talking about it....This is ameriKKKA, the race card was played long before I was born.

Thanks for the spelling lesson, try and stay on topic.
