Actor and former American football player OJ Simpson died on Wednesday (10), aged 76, from cancer.

Murder charge
In 1994, Simpson was prosecuted for double homicide in the state of California on charges of stabbing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, to death.
Simpson pleaded not guilty and assembled a team of well-known local and national lawyers. Robert Kardashian, father of the famous Kardashian sisters, was a friend of OJ and was an assistant on the team of defense lawyers, nicknamed the Dream Team.
The athlete was tried and later acquitted of criminal charges in a process that involved questions about race, celebrity and forensic evidence. Despite his criminal acquittal, Simpson was later found responsible for the deaths in a civil lawsuit brought by Goldman's family, resulting in a large financial settlement, reaching $33.5 million in damages.
His trial is described as the most publicized criminal case in American history, watched by more than 20 million viewers. Lasting 372 days, 133 witnesses were heard
