O.J. Simpson, the former football great who was accused of and acquitted of the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, has died at 76.
His family posted this message on social media:
"On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer."
He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace. -The Simpson Family"
Simpson, nicknamed "The Juice," broke records as a college and professional football player. His celebrity extended after his football career as a sportscaster, an actor, and a corporate spokesman.
Simpson became infamous in 1994 when 95 million Americans watched as his white Ford Bronco led police on a 2-hour, 60-mile, low-speed televised chase through Los Angeles after his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were brutally murdered h outside of her Brentwood home.
Simpson stood trial for the murders and in October 1995, he was acquitted.
Twelve years later, Simpson was arrested after leading a group of men into a Las Vegas hotel and casino to steal, at gunpoint, what he claims was his own sports memorabilia. Simpson was charged with several felony counts, including kidnapping and armed robbery. The following year, he was found guilty and sentenced to up to 33 years. Simpson was paroled on Oct. 1, 2017.

@naithngr81-jh2bb 5 месяцев назад

There's so many things about the trial that so many people who were old enough to see it either just don't know, or don't remember. With lead detective Mark Furhman, for example, so many people only know/remember him for using racial slurs and the defense "played the race card." These people seem to either not know, or remember, that Mark Fuhrman, the lead detective, actually pleaded the fifth at the trial for planting evidence. When you remind people that go "OJ did it" of that, they get completely silent. *They have NO answer for why the damn lead detective, who was the only one who "found" the "mountain of evidence" against OJ, would plead the fifth for planting evidence* .

He didn’t, he stuck around, went off on his own around OJs property and he so-called found the bloody glove, etc. People seemed to have forgotten that when Johnny Cochran had him in depositions and they discussing the glove he saw at Nicoles condo, Furhman said, “that’s when I saw THEM.

OJ, should have moved to another part of the world. He certainly had enough money to do it. One of his attorneys suggested that he do so, but no, he wanted to stay here. I never liked OJ, he was an honorary white man and perceived himself as such. He said he never wanted to wake up and see a nappy headed woman in his bed. However, the Black community stood by him 30 years ago but not when he went to jail the second time. Do I believe he killed those two people? Yes, I do. Did he get away with it? Yes, he did. Was I angry or upset? No, I wasn't. Not when I take into ALL the INJUSTICES MY RACE HAS ENDURED IN THIS COUNTRY.

Moreover, you’re not going to be black visiting this neighborhood and nobody sees you…. without a doubt he was innocent of the charges.

@fidelnenas8390 5 месяцев назад

Faye Reznik told you why Nicole was killed but no one listened to her. Reznik said she (Reznik) was coping drugs from a drug dealer telling them that her friends husband was famous and was good for the money. She also said that when Nicole asked OJ for the money to pay for the drugs he refused to give it to her. Reznik said that when Nicole was killed she went into hiding for fear they would come after her. I always said OJ didn’t kill his wife and friend but he knew who did. Because there is no way a drug dealer is not going to take retribution after he was stiffed for is product. You tell me who is giving their drugs away for free? They tried to frame OJ by wearing the same kind of shoes he wore. What convinced me was upon his return from Chicago he went to the police station he was stripped search and they found nothing but the cut of his finger where OJ said that upon hearing Nicole had been killed he cut his finger picking up broken glass. They ran the luminal wand across his body and found no trace of blood and no bruises or marks like the reporter said. With all the blood it would have soaked through OJs clothes on to the body. Kato Kealin said OJ washed clothes when he got home the night of the murders then took a shower. The cops came in with the luminal solution looking for blood they found nothing. Small drops in the bronco but none on the seats. None in the bathtub and none in the washer. F.Lee Bailey, Robert Kardishian, Robert Shapiro and Alan Dershowitz would have never remained on the case if they thought OJ was guilty. Reznik’s story was enough to create reasonable doubt. But because of the sloppy police work and the sloppy work of the evidence handler plus Johnny Cochran’s attention to detail that theory was never really explored. OJ won his crime of the century case.

I agree with the verdict mainly because people have been sentenced to life with less evidence - so they would've gotten him if they could've - and I agree with the verdict theoretically because its hard to believe that one person can stab two people with a knife.

Brother😂. Read the book by his own niece. Orenthal James Simpson dropped his family and the African American community choosing rich white corporate buddies. White wife and side chicks, in white Brentwood. He only then returned to his community during the trial to serve a purpose. OJ didn’t give a damn about his community at all.

He married a white waitress who was beneath his social status, helped her family become wealthy and became crazily obsessed with the blonde. I cheered a black man’s victory over a system stacked against people of color but I did not cheer for O.J.

@EinsteinKnowedIt 5 месяцев назад

@rolandsmartin_Tap_Profile_msg I think it is important that you came out with a different perspective of OJ and his legacy to counter the noise and rehashing to further turnish any of his legacy by all means necessary witnessed on mainstream media still not able to desinguish between OJ and Lee Harvey Oswald. As to where I'm from, well, that would be Lou-zee-ana. "You can take the man out of Lou-zee-ana, but you can't take Lou-zee-ana out the man." Left there 50 years ago and never looked back.

@gregoryruffin5696 5 месяцев назад

OJ initially said, "I'm not black, I'm OJ" when he was being pressured to join black athletes to boycott the '68 Olympics. Although OJ wasn't expected to partake in the Olympics, they still wanted him to get on board. In which he refused to do.

This was an American Tragedy of Humongous Proportions! Not only were two people savagely murdered, not only was an NFL star, product spokesman, and film actor, permanently disgraced, not only were elements of law enforcement called into question and tainted unfavorably, not only was the judicial system turned into a three ring circus, but average citizens near the end of the 20th Century, were sharply split along racial and economic divides as a result of this trial. They'll be talking about this case in law schools for the next two hundred years.

@Fristpeople 5 месяцев назад

Did the glove have a cut where O.J.'s cut was located. I don't remember them saying that in the trial. The glove was small and that was the prosecutes fault for not knowing that O.J. has very large hands. I do believe that O.J. was innocent based on the evidence that was presented.

If there was no OJ, there would be no MJ, LeBron, Shaq, etc., the list is endless. I always believed the trial was a grotesque experiment in media manipulation. I watched the trial and it differed substantially from what the likes of Geraldo Rivera and Nancy Grace were pushing. A whole lot of people made money from that spectacle. Justice was not done for Brown and Goldman.

@RamonExtraordinaire1 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Ro for doing this special. It should be mentioned the barriers that O.J.broke as a Black athlete in America that is used as a template for cross-over success for athletes for today. The unfortunate murder situation is a story that still remains with many unresolved questions, that really became buried with the sensationalism of the court case. It also raised questions about many topics that people are uncomfortable discussing today such as interracial romantic relationships, rich Black athletes with White girlfriends, police corruption, racism, the American legal system, domestic violence and being a wealthy defendant in court.

@blackant51 5 месяцев назад

@RamonExtraordinaire1 5 месяцев назад

Also an important correction: The legal case was not the first mainstream reality show, that would be MTV's "The Real World" which premiered in 1992. The O.J. Simpson court case didn't start until 1994.
