My Take
Goldman is someone I think about with real tenderness. Born in 1968 in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, he was a restaurant waiter and aspiring actor who volunteered with children who had cerebral palsy, the picture of a kind young man with his whole life ahead. History remembers him through the name of a notorious 1994 tragedy, but I would rather hold onto the person first. What stays with me is the ordinary decency of his choices, the volunteering, the hustle of model and tennis instructor work, a life cut off mid-dream. I want to mourn him as a human being, not merely as a footnote to a famous case.
