Goldman's Lawyer To Testify In OJ Case

Prosecutors got the green light last night to bring Fred Goldman's lawyer to the witness stand - outraging O.J. Simpson's lawyers.
The purpose would be to show how the disgraced grid great allegedly hides money from the grieving dad, whose son, Ron, was slain with O.J.'s ex Nicole Brown Simpson on 1994.
Judge Jackie Glass ruled that the lawyer, David Cook, can testify this morning about his efforts to recover more than $33 million Simpson owes on a wrongful-death verdict.
"He was hiding property from the Goldman estate," DA David Roger told the judge. "It [Cook's testimony] establishes his motive, his common scheme of plan and his intent."
