Attorney for Ron Goldman's family has question he wants asked of O.J. Simpson during parole hearing

Since the Nevada Parole Board is going to have O.J. Simpson handy anyway, there’s a question the attorney for Ron Goldman’s family would like asked. 

“Do you take responsibility for what you did?” David Cook said Thursday, hours before the former Hall of Famer’s parole hearing.  

“Why not ask the question? Let’s see how he answers,” Cook said. “I don’t see any reason that they can’t ask him.”

Simpson has long denied involvement in the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and Goldman, a friend, and was acquitted of criminal charges in 1995. Two years later, he was found responsible for the murders in civil court and ordered to pay Goldman and Brown’s families $33.5 million – a sum that Cook said has grown to $60 million.

Simpson is seeking parole on charges stemming from an armed confrontation with memorabilia collectors in Las Vegas. He was sentenced in 2008 to a minimum of nine years in prison.

The parole board can ask Simpson about a variety of things – whether he is repentant for the robbery, where he’d live if he’s granted release, what he would do. There’s no reason its members can’t ask about Brown and Goldman’s deaths, too, Cook said.

“What’s wrong with that?” he asked. “They can ask him anything. Literally.”

And it would have no bearing on Simpson legally, since he has already been acquitted.

“He would probably sell more autographs,” Cook said. “Make him even more famous.”
