Actor and former American football player OJ Simpson died this Wednesday (10) due to cancer. The death was confirmed by the family through social media.
Simpson spent a lifetime in the spotlight, first for his athletic prowess in college and the NFL, then as an actor and pitchman, then as a suspect in the 1994 murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. .
His murder trial in Los Angeles was dubbed “the trial of the century” and sparked years of debate about race and the justice system.
Remember the former player’s trials:
OJ Simpson was once again a free man in 2021 after serving time for a kidnapping and armed robbery in Las Vegas, United States, in 2007.
In 1994, Simpson was prosecuted for double homicide in the state of California on charges of stabbing his ex-wife and her friend to death.
Simpson pleaded “100% innocent” and assembled a team of well-known local and national lawyers. He was eventually acquitted in 1995, but two years later he lost a civil trial. He was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages.
