O.J. Simpson, American Football Star and Actor, Dies at 76
Former NFL Player Acquitted in Sensational Murder Trial
Orenthal James Simpson, known as O.J., was a football star and actor whose athletic achievements were overshadowed by his infamous 1995 trial for the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
Simpson was found not guilty by a jury, but the case remains one of the most notorious trials in American history. His acquittal sparked widespread debate about race, celebrity, and the justice system.
In the years after the trial, Simpson faced financial and legal challenges, including a 2008 armed robbery conviction for which he served nine years in prison. He was released in 2017 and lived in Las Vegas until his death on February 13, 2023, at the age of 76.
Simpson's legacy is complex and controversial. As a football player, he was one of the greatest running backs in NFL history. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
As an actor, he starred in several successful films, including "The Poseidon Adventure" and "The Towering Inferno." However, his personal life and the murder trial overshadowed his professional accomplishments.
