At the end of a sensational trial, former football star O.J. Simpson
was acquitted of the brutal 1994 double murder of his estranged
wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
In the epic 252-day trial, Simpson’s “dream team” of lawyers
employed creative and controversial methods to convince
jurors that Simpson’s guilt had not been proved “beyond a
reasonable doubt,” thus surmounting what the prosecution
called a “mountain of evidence” implicating him as the
murderer.
Orenthal James (O.J.) Simpson (July 9, 1947 – April 10, 2024)
In May 2023, Simpson reported that he had been diagnosed with
prostate cancer and expressed confidence that he would beat it.
He died of the disease at the age of 76.
