Answer 1

Orenthal James Simpson (born July 9, 1947, San Francisco, California), publicly known by his initials as O.J., and nicknamed The Juice, is an American former college and professional football player and film actor. Although considered one of the greatest running backs of all time, Simpson is also known for having been charged with the murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. He was acquitted in criminal court in 1995 after a lengthy, highly publicized trial (often called the "Trial of the Century").

In 1997, Simpson was found liable for their deaths in civil court, but never paid the judgment.

Answer 2

O J Simpson (also known as the "Juice") won the heisman trophy and was a very talented football player. He was drafted into the NFL and played proball for the Buffalo Bills, and then for the San Francisco 49ers. He met and married his highschool sweetheart and had 3 children. One of which accidentally drowned in his pool, at their home. Afterwhich he met Nicole Brown (she was 18 at the time). They married and had two children. In 94 he was accused and subsequently bound over by the grand jury and stood trial for the murder of his then x wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. Who just got caught in a terrible situation trying to do a favor for a friend. As Nicole's mother had left her glasses at the restaurant where they had dinner after Nicole & OJ's daughters' recital. He was found not guilty after a 5 month trial, when the jury deliberated for only a few hours. The following year he was found liable for their deaths in civil court and ordered to pay the estates of the deceased 33 million dollars. (the money paid to the Nicole Brown Simpson Estate was to be set into a trust for their children). He hasn't paid the judgement. His home, at Rockingham was sold & demolished *and the address was changed, to divert tourists & lookie-loos from hounding the new owners of the property. Recently he's been back in the news again, with the BOOK "If I did it, this is how it happened", and a 2 hour interview special that was set to air on Fox. (the publisher Judith Regean took so much heat for her deal with OJ for the book and interview) and the outcry from the public was so loud and strong, the book and the interview were cancelled.
(OJ also did lots of commercials during his "hay day", and after retiring from football became a side line announcer.)

Answer 3

OJ, a black man was investigated and tried in a court of law for the murder of two caucasions. A jury evaluated all the evidence (only circumstantial) and found him "not guilty". After leaving the crime scene (OJs ex-wife home) a caucasion investigator went to the defendant's house and claimed that he found a glove/w blood - this investigator was found to have made recorded tapes making statements highly derogatory about blacks - he later committed perjury in court. Another caucasion investigator testified in court that he took a vial sample of OJ's blood from the police lab and carried it a distance of 26 miles to take it INTO the crime scene.
OJ has always maintained his innocence and this book is hypothetical. Money not narcissism was probably the motivation in writing the book as there is a civil suit debt and a need to provide an inheritance for his children etc. The trial attorney's Cochran, Marcia and Darden wrote their own books and received many millions.
A few things that the jury may have considered:
-The investigator who found the glove later committed PERJURY regarding his extreme racist comments.
- Another investigator took a vial sample of OJ's blood from the lab and carried it INTO the crime scene.
- The glove DID NOT fit OJ's hand (wrong size).
- There never was the amount of blood on OJ's body, clothes, house or car CONSISTENT with someone who had committed that crime in person..
- The murder weapon was NEVER connected to him or found.
- The jury was taken to visit OJ's house and DID NOT see a the rumored large blood trail.
- There were no witnesses to the actual crime.
- Likely the jury found him innocent because there was a LACK of real evidence to convict.
Some may disagree with the verdict but it's unfair for them to blatantly say with a certainty that this man is guilty.
