O.J. Simpson, the NFL Hall of Famer whose 1995 acquittal in the so-called 'trial of the century' for the brutal murders of his ex-wife and a male friend gripped the world, has died, his family announced Thursday. He was 76.
O. J. Simpson sits in Superior Court in Los Angeles on December 8, 1994 during an open court session where Judge Lance Ito denied a media attorney's request to open court transcripts from a 07 December private meeting involving prospective jurors. Final selection of alternate jurors by attorneys in the double murder case is expected later this afternoon. Simpson has died at the age of 76, his family said on April 11, 2024.LOS ANGELES, United States -- O.J.
His popularity only grew with a post-NFL career as an actor and an ad pitchman, where his appearances promoting everything from orange juice to car rentals made him one of the most recognizable Black faces in the country. His acquittal in October 1995 after a nine-month trial was greeted with disbelief by many Americans who had followed every twist and turn in the arguments over details as intricate as whether a pair of gloves really fitted the former athlete's hands.And although allowed to walk free, there was no happy next chapter for "O.J.," as he was almost universally known.
And "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story," a television mini-series starring Cuba Gooding Jr as the athlete, won multiple Emmy awards in 2016.Broadcasting from the driver's seat of a car, he said: "You talking about hospice?!"
