NFL star O.J. Simpson's high-profile trial for the murder of his ex-wife and her friend captivated America in the '90s.
NFL star O.J. Simpson was infamously acquitted of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson , and her friend Ronald Goldman following a high-profile trial in the ‘90s.
Brown Simpson and Goldman were stabbed to death in June 1994 outside of her home in Los Angeles and law enforcement officials named Simpson their primary suspect one day later. After an infamous car chase in his white Ford Bronco that was broadcast on national TV, Simpson was ultimately arrested and taken into police custody outside his Brentwood, California, home.
Despite prosecutors Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden’s list of seemingly mounting evidence, a sequestered jury ultimately found Simpson not guilty of the two murders. Brown Simpson and Goldman’s families later sued Simpson for wrongful death in 1996, for which he was found liable. Simpson was ordered to pay the victims’ families $33 million in damages.
