The NFL Hall of Famer, who was acquitted in 1995, declined to comment on the case that divided the nation over issues of race and domestic violence.
Twenty-five years after the shocking deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman gripped the nation, O.J. Simpson is living a simple, quiet life he has styled for himself in Las Vegas and would prefer not to revisit what happened on the night of June 12, 1994.
“We don’t need to go back and relive the worst day of our lives,” Simpson told Linda Deutsch of the Associated Press. “The subject of the moment is the subject I will never revisit again. My family and I have moved on to what we call the ‘no negative zone.’ We focus on the positives.” Simpson, accused of those killings, was acquitted in the 1995 “Trial of the Century,” when a jury rendered a verdict that divided the country over racial issues, the treatment of celebrities, police conduct and domestic violence. However, Simpson, who has continued to maintain his innocence, was ordered to pay $33.5 million, much of which remains unpaid, by a civil court jury for the wrongful deaths of his ex-wife and Goldman, who was killed as he returned glasses to Brown Simpson’s house.
“I’ve been to Florida two or three times to see the kids and my old buddies in Miami. I even managed to play a game of golf with them,” he said, “but I live in a town I’ve learned to love. Life is fine.”Nationals made MLB history by hitting four consecutive home runs against PadresJoey Gallo’s 447-foot homer highlights Nationals’ win over Pirates
