Former American football star and actor OJ Simpson known for his controversial murder trial acquittal has passed away at the age of 76. Rising to fame in college and playing in the NFL, Simpson was cleared of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1995 in a trial that captivated America. However, he later faced legal troubles including a 2008 conviction for armed robbery.
Simpson’s death comes after battling prostate cancer surrounded by his family. Following his murder trial where he famously struggled to fit into a pair of gloves, Simpson was found liable in a civil case and ordered to pay millions in damages to the victims’ families. His later years were marked by legal issues including a failed book and TV project regarding the murders.
Despite his once-celebrated career as an athlete and actor, Simpson legacy is tarnished by his legal troubles and the controversy surrounding his murder trial. His death has prompted mixed reactions with some expressing little sympathy while others critique the justice system’s handling of domestic abuse cases involving celebrities like Simpson.
