Just because Judith Regan got fired doesn’t mean she won’t be fighting wars on several fronts. ABC’s Chris Francescani reports that Regan and executives from HarperCollins and News Corp. may be deposed as part of a lawsuit that could be filed this week by the family of murder victim Ron Goldman. One attorney described it as an attempt to “get to the bottom” of the internal decision-making process surrounding the aborted publication of “If I Did It,” O.J. Simpson’s hypothetical tell-all on how he would have killed his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Goldman.
Goldman attorney Jonathan Polak told ABC News’ Law & Justice Unit that his clients remained committed to pursuing the judgment and seeking to hold those who do business with Simpson responsible. “It is my personal belief that Regan’s termination . . . was made out of an absolute recognition by News Corp. that she did something wrong, not just morally, but perhaps also legally,” Polak said. “We are going to get to the bottom of who did what, when and how. In all likelihood, there’s going to be some very interesting depositions that people, I think, are going to find very compelling,” Polak said.
