أورنثال جيمس سيمبسون Orenthal James Simpson عُرف بإسم "أو. جيه. سيمبسون" (O. J. Simpson)(و. 9 يوليو 1947 – ت. 10 أبريل 2024) كان لاعب كرة القدم وممثل أمريكي، أُدين بالاختطاف والسطو المسلح. لعب في الدوري الوطني لكرة القدم الأمريكية (NFL) لمدة 11 موسماً، معظمها مع فريق بوفالو بيلز، ويعتبر أحد أعظم الأظهرة على الإطلاق. واعتزل النشاط الرياضي والإعلامي والتمثيل بعد اتهامه بقتل زوجته السابقة نيكول براون وصديقتها رون جولدمان في عام 1994، وحوكم وتمت تبرئته، بعد محاكمة حازت على اهتمام إعلامي واسع، والتي أبرزت التوترات والانقسامات العرقية في المجتمع الأمريكي.

لعب سيمبسون كرة القدم الجامعية لفريق جامعة جنوب كاليفورنيا، حيث فاز بـكأس هيسمان كأفضل لاعب جامعي في عام 1968. واختير للعب بدوري المحترفين، وخلال المواسم التسعة التي قضاها مع فريق بوفالو بيلز، حصل على خمسة اختيارات متتالية ضمن فرق "برو بول" والفريق الأفضل من 1972 إلى 1976. وأصبح أول لاعب في اتحاد كرة القدم الأميركي يندفع لأكثر من 2000 ياردة في موسم واحد، مما أكسبه لقب أكثر لاعبي الدوري الأمريكي تقيماً (MVP)، وهو لاعب الدوري الأمريكي الوحيد الذي فعل ذلك في موسم عادي مكون من 14 مباراة. كما أنه يحمل الرقم القياسي لمتوسط ​​​​ساحات لكل لعبة لموسم واحد عند 143.1.

بعد اعتزاله مع فريق "San Francisco 49ers" في عام 1979، عمل في السينما والتلفزيون، وأصبح مذيعاً رياضياً، كما كان ممثلاً لمجموعة واسعة من المنتجات والشركات، أبرزها شركة هيرتز، وعمل في العديد من قاعات مشاهير كرة القدم.

في ليلة 12 يونيو 1994 قُتل براون وغولدمان في لوس أنجلوس. واتهم سيمبسون بارتكاب جرائم القتل، وتم اعتقاله بعد حادث حاول فيه الفرار من الشرطة في سيارة صديقه. واستمرت المحاكمة التي حظيت بتغطية إعلامية دولية من يناير إلى أكتوبر 1995، وأحدثت انقسامات عنصرية في الولايات المتحدة. وفي النهاية تمت تبرئته في 3 أكتوبر. ولكن بعد ثلاث سنوات، أُدين بمسؤوليته عن جرائم القتل في دعوى مدنية من عائلات الضحايا، لكنه لم يدفع سوى القليل من الحكم البالغ 33.5 مليون دولار.

في عام 2007، ألقي القبض على سيمبسون في لاس فيغاس، ووجهت إليه تهمة السطو المسلح والاختطاف. وفي 2008، أُدين وحُكم عليه بالسجن لمدة 33 عامًا، منها تسع سنوات على الأقل دون الإفراج المشروط. وقضى عقوبته في مركز لوفلوك الإصلاحي في ريف نيفادا، حتى أتم إطلاق سراحه المشروط وإطلاق سراحه في 2017. وألغي الإفراج المشروط في عام 2021، وعاش بحرية حتى وفاته في 10 أبريل 2024 عن عمر يناهز 76 عامًا بسبب سرطان البروستاتا.

Early life

Born in 1947 in San Francisco, California, Simpson was a son of Eunice (née Durden), an administrator at a psychiatric ward, and Jimmy Lee Simpson,[1] a cook, Federal Reserve Bank employee, and a custodian for both a bank and a private club.[2][3][4] His father was also a well-known drag queen in the Bay Area. Later in life, Jimmy Simpson announced that he was gay. He died of AIDS in 1986.[5][6]

Simpson's maternal grandparents were from Louisiana. His aunt gave him the name Orenthal, which she said was the name of a French actor she liked.[7] He was called "O.J." from birth and did not know that Orenthal was his given name until a teacher read it in third grade.[8] Simpson had one brother, Melvin Leon "Truman" Simpson, one living sister, Shirley Simpson-Baker, and one deceased sister, Carmelita Simpson-Durio.[9]

Simpson grew up in San Francisco and lived with his family in the housing projects of the low-income Potrero Hill neighborhood.[2][10] As a child, Simpson developed rickets and wore braces on his legs until the age of five,[11] giving him his bowlegged stance.[9] He earned money by scalping tickets and collecting seat cushions at Kezar Stadium.[9] After his parents separated in 1952 (when Simpson was 4), he and siblings were raised by their mother.[2][12]

In his early teenage years, Simpson joined a street gang called the Persian Warriors and was briefly incarcerated at the San Francisco Youth Guidance Center.[11] His future wife Marguerite, who he dated in high school, described him as "really an awful person then".[13][14] After his third arrest, Simpson happened to meet with baseball star Willie Mays, who encouraged the youth to avoid trouble. He said it helped persuade him to reform.[9]

At Galileo High School (now Galileo Academy of Science and Technology) in San Francisco, Simpson played for the school football team, the Galileo Lions.[15] Simpson then earned money by organizing dances and charging admission.[9] He graduated in 1965.[15]


College football and athletics career

Although Simpson was an All-City football player at Galileo, his mediocre high-school grades prevented him from attracting the interest of many college recruiters. After a childhood friend's injury in the Vietnam War influenced Simpson to stay out of the military, he enrolled at City College of San Francisco in 1965.[9] He played football both ways as a running back and defensive back and was named to the Junior College All-American team as a running back.[16] City College won the Prune Bowl against Long Beach State, and many colleges sought Simpson as a transfer student for football.[9]

In the spring of 1967, he enrolled at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, which he had admired as a young football fan. He had also considered going to the University of Utah.[2][9][17] He played running back with the Trojans for head coach John McKay in 1967 and 1968.[17] Simpson led the nation in rushing both years under McKay: in 1967 with 1,543 yards and 13 touchdowns, and in 1968 with 1,880 yards on 383 carries.[18]

As a junior in 1967, Simpson was a close runner-up in the Heisman Trophy balloting to quarterback Gary Beban of UCLA. In that year's Victory Bell rivalry game between the teams, USC was down by six points in the fourth quarter with under 11 minutes remaining. On their own 36, USC backup quarterback Toby Page called an audible on third and seven. Simpson's 64-yard touchdown run tied the score, and the extra point provided a 21–20 lead, which was the final score.[19] This was the biggest play in what is regarded as one of the greatest football games of the 20th century.[20]

Another dramatic touchdown in the same game is the subject of the Arnold Friberg oil painting, O.J. Simpson Breaks for Daylight. Simpson also won the Walter Camp Award in 1967 and was a two-time unanimous All-American.[21]

Simpson was an aspiring track athlete; in 1967, he lost a 100 m race at Stanford University against the then-British record holder Menzies Campbell.[22] Prior to playing football at USC, he ran in the sprint relay quartet that broke the world record in the 4 × 110-yard relay at the NCAA track championships in Provo, Utah on June 17, 1967.[23]

As a senior in 1968, Simpson rushed for 1,709 yards and 22 touchdowns in the regular season, earning the Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award, and Walter Camp Award. He held the record for the Heisman's largest margin of victory for 51 years, defeating runner-up Leroy Keyes by 1,750 points. In the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, #2 USC faced top-ranked Ohio State; Simpson ran for 171 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown run, in a 27–16 loss.[24]

Football career

Buffalo Bills

The first selection in the 1969 NFL/AFL draft was held by the AFL's Buffalo Bills, after finishing 1–12–1 in 1968. They took Simpson, but he demanded the largest contract in professional sports history: $650,000 over five years (equivalent to $4٬119٬419 in 2022). This led to a standoff with Bills' owner, Ralph Wilson, as Simpson threatened to become an actor and skip professional football. Eventually, Wilson agreed to pay Simpson.[26][27]

Simpson entered professional football with high expectations,[26][27] but struggled in his first three years, averaging only 622 yards per season.[28] Bills coach John Rauch, not wanting to build an offense around one running back, assigned Simpson to do blocking and receiving duties at the expense of running the ball. In 1971, Rauch resigned as head coach, and the Bills brought in Harvey Johnson.[26][29][30] Despite Johnson devising a new offense for Simpson, Simpson was still ineffective that year. After the 1971 season, the Bills fired Johnson and brought in Lou Saban as head coach.[26] Unlike Rauch, Saban made Simpson the centerpiece of the Bills offense.[31]

In 1972, Simpson rushed for over 1,000 yards for the first time in his career, gaining a league-leading total of 1,251 yards. In 1973, Simpson became the first player to break the highly coveted 2,000 yard rushing mark, with 2,003 total rushing yards and 12 touchdowns.[28][32] Simpson broke the mark during the last game of the season against the New York Jets with a seven-yard rush. That same game also saw Simpson break Jim Brown's single-season rushing record of 1,863 yards.[33] For his performance, Simpson won that year's NFL MVP Award and Bert Bell Award.[34][35] While other players have broken the 2,000-yard mark since Simpson, his record was established when the NFL had only 14 games per season, as opposed to the 16-game seasons that began in 1978.[36] As of 2013, Simpson still holds the rushing record for 14 games.[37]

Simpson gained over 1,000 rushing yards in the next three seasons. He did not lead the league in rushing in 1974, but did cross the 1,000-yard barrier despite a knee injury.[38] In game 11 of 1974, he passed Ken Willard as the rushing leader among active players, a position he maintained until his retirement more than five seasons later. Simpson also made his first and only playoff appearance during the 1974 season. In a divisional game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Simpson rushed for 49 yards on 15 attempts and caught a touchdown pass, but the Bills lost the game 32–14.[39] Simpson won the rushing title again in 1975, rushing for 1,817 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also had a career-high 426 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns that season.[28]

Simpson again led the league in rushing in 1976, rushing for 1,503 yards and eight touchdowns.[28] He had the best game of his career during that season's Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions on November 25. In that game, Simpson rushed for a then-record 273 yards on 29 attempts and scored two touchdowns. Despite Simpson's performance, the Bills lost the game 27–14.[40]

A low light that season came during a game against the New England Patriots a few weeks earlier when defensive end Mel Lunsford and several other Patriots defenders stuffed the superstar running back for no gain. Still, as Simpson tried to continue driving forward, Lunsford bodyslammed him to the ground. Simpson got up and punched Lunsford, which prompted Lunsford to swing back. Bills offensive lineman Reggie McKenzie then jumped on Lunsford's back. Still, Lunsford bent down and flung McKenzie over his head. He went back to swinging at Simpson before a melee of the two teams stopped the fight and ended up in a pile on the field. Lunsford and Simpson were ejected from the game as the Patriots' solid defense persisted, with New England winning 20–10 to finish the 1976 season 11–3. The Bills finished 2–12.[41]

Simpson played only seven games in 1977, as his season was cut short by injury.[7]

San Francisco 49ers

Before the 1978 season, the Bills traded Simpson to his hometown San Francisco 49ers for a series of draft picks.[42] He then moved back to the West Coast.[2] Simpson played in San Francisco for two seasons, rushing for 1,053 yards and four touchdowns.[28] Physical problems influenced him to retire from football.[2] His final NFL game was on December 16, 1979, a 31–21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium.[43] His final play was a 10-yard run on 3rd and 10 for a first down.[44]

Career summary

Simpson gained 11,236 rushing yards, placing him 2nd on the NFL's all-time rushing list when he retired; he now stands at 21st. He was named NFL Player of the Year in 1973, and played in six Pro Bowls. He was the only player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a 14-game season, and the only player to rush for over 200 yards in six different games in his career. From 1972 to 1976, Simpson averaged 1,540 rushing yards per (14 game) season, 5.1 yards per carry, and he won the NFL rushing title four times.[28] Simpson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985, his first year of eligibility.[45] In 2019, he was named to the National Football League 100th Anniversary All-Time Team.[46] Simpson also occasionally returned kickoffs in his early career, finishing with 33 returns for 990 yards and a touchdown, an average of 30 yards per return.[47]

Simpson played in only one playoff game during his 11-season Hall of Fame career: a 1974 Divisional Round game between the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Simpson was held to 49 rushing yards on fifteen carries to go with three receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown as the Bills lost 32–14.[48]

Simpson acquired the nickname "Juice" as a play on "O.J.", a common abbreviation for orange juice. "Juice" is also a colloquial synonym for electricity or electrical power, and hence a metaphor for any powerful entity; the Bills' offensive line at Simpson's peak was nicknamed "The Electric Company".[49]

Acting and media career

1960s and 1970s

Simpson appearing on an episode of Medical Center in 1969

Simpson began acting while at USC and appeared on Dragnet in an uncredited role as a potential recruit to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).[52] He became a professional actor before playing professional football, appearing in the first episode of Medical Center while negotiating his contract with the Bills.[8]

Before his murder trial, sportswriter Ralph Wiley claimed in 2002, White people considered Simpson a "unifying symbol of all races". History professor Lou Moore said that this made Simpson the first Black athlete to be "put on".[53] In 1975, People magazine described Simpson as "the first [Black] athlete to become a bona fide lovable media superstar".[13] Simpson avoided starring in blaxploitation films, choosing third or fourth lead roles while studying experienced stars like Lee Marvin and Richard Burton.[9] His Hertz commercials from 1975 benefited Simpson's acting career, but he sometimes intentionally chose non-positive roles; "I've got to tear down that picture of O.J. Simpson, the clean-cut athlete, to get believability into whatever part I happen to be playing".[54] He said in 1980 that "The Oscar or the Emmy says you've reached a level of competence in this business, and I would love to have one".[52]

While in the NFL, Simpson appeared in productions such as the television miniseries Roots (1977), and the dramatic motion pictures The Klansman (1974), The Towering Inferno (1974), The Cassandra Crossing (1977), and Capricorn One (1978).[55] In 1979, he started his own film production company, Orenthal Productions, which dealt mostly in made-for-TV fare such as the family-oriented Goldie and the Boxer films with Melissa Michaelsen (1979 and 1981).[55] Simpson said that he did not seriously consider an acting career until seeing Marvin and Burton, while filming The Klansman in California, ordering chili from Chasen's via a private jet.[8] Simpson appeared in the audience of Saturday Night Live during its second season and hosted an episode during its third season.[56]

1980s

In 1987, Simpson also made a cameo in the comedy Back to the Beach. He played Det. Nordberg in all three entries of The Naked Gun film trilogy (1988, 1991, 1994) alongside Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley and George Kennedy. According to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Simpson was considered by director James Cameron to play the eponymous character in The Terminator (1984) when Schwarzenegger was cast as Kyle Reese, but Cameron ultimately cast Schwarzenegger as the Terminator while Simpson had no involvement in the film.[57] Besides his acting career, Simpson worked as a commentator for Monday Night Football and The NFL on NBC.[58]

1990s

Simpson starred in the un-televised two-hour-long film pilot for Frogmen, an A-Team-like adventure series that Warner Bros. Television completed in 1994, a few months before the two murders he was accused of. NBC had not yet decided whether to order the series when Simpson's arrest canceled the project. While searching his home, the police obtained a videotaped copy of the pilot as well as the script and dailies. Although the prosecution investigated reports that Simpson, who played the leader of a group of former United States Navy SEALs, received "a fair amount of" military training—including use of a knife—for Frogmen, and there is a scene in which he holds a knife to the throat of a woman, this material was not introduced as evidence during the trial.[59]

NBC executive Warren Littlefield said in July 1994 that the network would probably never air the pilot if Simpson were convicted.[60] Most pilots that are two hours long are aired as TV movies whether or not they are ordered as series. Because—as the Los Angeles Times later reported—"the appetite for all things O.J. appeared insatiable" during the trial, Warner Bros. and NBC estimated that a gigantic, Super Bowl–like television audience would have watched the Frogmen film. Co-star Evan Handler said the studio's decision not to air it or release it on home video, and forego an estimated $14 million in profits, was "just about the only proof you have that there is some dignity in the advertising and television business".[59]

2000s

In 2006, Simpson starred in his own improv-based hidden-camera prank TV show, Juiced. Typical of the genre, Simpson would play a prank on everyday people while secretly filming them. At the end of each prank, he would shout, "You've been Juiced!" Each episode opened with topless strippers dancing around Simpson, who is dressed as a pimp and sings his own rap song. In one episode, Simpson is at a used car lot in Las Vegas, where he attempts to sell a white Ford Bronco (which became infamous during his 1994 police chase). A bullet hole in the front of the SUV is circled with his autograph, and he pitches it to a prospective buyer by saying that if they "ever get into some trouble and have to get away, it has escapability."[61][62] In another sketch, Simpson pretends to be having an affair with another man's girlfriend. Later, he transforms into an old White man whose dying wish is to call a game of bingo. Juiced aired as a one-time special on pay-per-view television and was later released on DVD.[63]

Endorsements

Chuck Barnes helped Simpson form business relationships with Chevrolet and ABC early in his football career. By 1971, New York wrote that Simpson was already wealthy enough to "retire this week if [he] wanted to".[64]

Simpson in a 1976 ad for Hertz

Beginning in 1975, he appeared in advertisements with the Hertz rental car company. Commercials depicted Simpson running through airports embodying speed, as others shouted to him the Hertz slogan "Go, O.J., Go!".[65] He was the first Black man to be hired for a major corporate national advertising campaign.[2] Besides helping his acting career, Simpson estimated that the very successful "superstar in rent-a-car" campaign raised the recognition rate among people he met from 30% to 90%.[9] Hertz's annual profit increased by 50% to $42.2 million within the first year, brand awareness increased by more than 40%,[54] and 97% of viewers understood that the commercials advertised Hertz, avoiding the common "vampire video" problem.[9] Simpson was so important to the company that CEO Frank Olson personally negotiated his contract, and Hertz used him for an unusually long time for a celebrity endorser. Although Simpson appeared less often in Hertz commercials by the late 1980s, his relationship with the company continued; Simpson was to travel to Chicago to meet with Hertz executives and clients on the night of the Brown-Goldman murder.[65]

Simpson used his amiable persona,[66] good looks, and charisma in many endorsement deals.[65] Advertising Age in 1977 named Simpson the magazine's Star Presenter of the Year;[54] by 1984, consumer research found that he was the most popular athlete endorser. A 1990s MCI Communications commercial starring Eunice Simpson satirized her son's work.[65] Other products Simpson endorsed included Pioneer Chicken, Honey Baked Ham, Calistoga Water Company's line of Napa Naturals soft drinks, and Dingo cowboy boots. As president and CEO of O. J. Simpson Enterprises, he owned hotels and restaurants. When Simpson and Brown divorced in 1992, he had $10 million in assets and more than $1 million in annual income, including $550,000 from Hertz.[65]

Personal life

1947–1994: Marriages with Marguerite Whitley and Nicole Brown

Simpson with his wife Marguerite Whitley and daughter Arnelle at their home in Bel-Air, California, in 1970

On June 24, 1967, Simpson married Marguerite L. Whitley. Together, they had three children: Arnelle L. Simpson (b. 1968), Jason Lamar Simpson[67] (b. 1970), and Aaren Lashone Simpson (1977–1979). In August 1979, Aaren drowned in the family's swimming pool.[68][69]

Simpson met Nicole Brown in 1977 while she was working as a waitress at a Beverly Hills nightclub called The Daisy.[70][71] Although still married to his first wife, Simpson began dating Brown. Simpson and Marguerite divorced in March 1979.[72][73](pp. 126–28) During the 1984 Summer Olympics torch relay, Simpson carried the torch on Santa Monica's California Incline road, running behind Brown.[74] Brown and Simpson were married on February 2, 1985, five years after his retirement from professional football.[75] The couple had two children, Sydney Brooke Simpson (b. 1985) and Justin Ryan Simpson (b. 1988).[76] The marriage lasted seven years.[77]

Simpson with his daughter, Sydney Brooke, in 1986

Brown claimed that by the end of 1989, police had visited the couple's house eight times for domestic violence calls, and they did not help her in any of them.[78] On December 31, Brown phoned the police, saying that she thought Simpson was going to kill her. She was found by officers hiding in the bushes outside their home, "badly beaten and half-naked". Authorities said Simpson had "punched, slapped, and kicked" her. He pleaded no contest to spousal abuse.[77][79][14] A family friend claimed that Simpson had told Brown's friends that if he ever "caught her with anyone, he would kill her".[79] Brown filed for divorce on February 25, 1992, citing irreconcilable differences.[73](p. 136) This was after finding out about an alleged year-long affair Simpson had had with model Tawny Kitaen.[78]

Reports suggest that in 1993, after the divorce, Brown and Simpson made an attempt at reconciliation.[79] In October, Brown called the police to report Simpson being violent again, after he allegedly found a photo of a man Brown had dated while they were broken up.[78] Again, officers intervened.[14] The two broke up again, seemingly permanently, in May 1994.[78] According to Sheila Weller, "they were a dramatic, fractious, mutually obsessed couple before they married, after they married, after they divorced in 1992, and after they reconciled."[80] In total, prosecutors for Simpson's murder trial found 62 incidents of abusive behavior by Simpson towards Brown.[14]

1995–2024: Murder trial aftermath and move to Florida

In 1995, after his acquittal for murder, Simpson began a relationship with Christie Prody which lasted for 13 years. At the time their relationship started, Prody was 19 years old and working as a cocktail waitress. After their relationship ended, Prody stated that she often feared for her life during the relationship.[81][82]

Simpson sought refuge in Florida to avoid paying the judgement he received in his 1997 civil trial; Florida is one of few states where pensions and/or residences cannot generally be seized to collect debts.[83][84] In 2000, he purchased a home in Miami-Dade County, 20 miles south of Miami.[84] He "struggled to remake his life, raise his children, and stay out of trouble", and lived off of pensions from the NFL, Screen Actors Guild, and other sources. He sent two of his children to prep school and college.[14]

After Simpson retired from football, he began playing golf, which was a "constant" in his life before and after the acquittal. He often played in both the Los Angeles area and (after he moved to Florida) the Miami area. He played with professional golfers like Arnold Palmer, until they stopped associating with him around the time of his murder trial. Afterwards, however, he still played with notable people like Michael Jordan. Simpson's membership at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles was suspended, so he started playing at Rancho Park when in that city. Sports Illustrated reported in 1997 that other golfers did not want him in their presence.[85][86]

In 2016, Dr. Bennett Omalu, who discovered the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephelopathy (CTE), said he would "bet [his] medical license" that Simpson had the disease. CTE is common in football players, and Omalu said Simpson had suffered thousands of cases of blunt force trauma in his brain during his career, which would have caused it. Simpson's lawyer, as a part of a legal strategy following Simpson's convictions for robbery in 2008, claimed that he had suffered concussions.[87] This was a part of the lawyer's attempt to prove that Simpson's convictions were unjust, saying that brain damage was responsible for Simpson's actions.[88]

Legal history

Police officers searching Brown's condo for evidence in June 1994

Arrest for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman

Shortly after midnight on June 13, 1994,[89] Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman, were found stabbed to death in the courtyard outside Brown's condo, in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police determined the murders had taken place on the night of the 12th. Goldman had been there to return to Brown a pair of glasses that her mother had lost earlier that day. The knife used was never found. Simpson was an immediate person of interest in their murders, and there was never any other suspect found. He maintained that on the 12th, he had been at home, waiting for a limousine to take him to an airport for a flight to Chicago. After police gathered all the evidence, charges were filed and a warrant was signed for Simpson's arrest.[14][62][78][79][89]

Simpson, in agreement with his attorneys, was scheduled to turn himself in at approximately 11:00 a.m. to the Parker Center police headquarters on the morning of June 17. Simpson failed to turn himself in, and he later became the subject of a low-speed pursuit by police while riding as a passenger in a white 1993 Ford Bronco SUV, a vehicle owned and being driven by his former teammate and longtime friend Al Cowlings. According to Cowlings, Simpson was armed in the back of the vehicle with a pistol, holding it to his head and threatening to shoot himself if he was not taken back to his Brentwood estate. This caused the responding California Highway Patrol officers to pursue with extreme caution.[62] The police closed the nearby highways. As Cowlings rode, Simpson's lawyer Robert Kardashian publicly released a letter from him, saying: "Don’t feel sorry for me ... I’ve had a great life, great friends. Please think of the real O.J. and not this lost person."[14] TV stations interrupted coverage of the 1994 NBA Finals to broadcast the incident live. With an estimated audience of 95 million people, the event was described as "the most famous ride on American shores since Paul Revere's".[90] Tens of thousands of people gathered on Los Angeles streets and highways to view the chase.[91] He was arrested shortly before 9 p.m.[79] The incident likely increased sales of the Ford Bronco by an additional 7,000 purchases in 1994 compared to 1993.[92]

Many advocates for victims of domestic violence consider Brown's death as instrumental in Congress prioritizing the passage of the Violence Against Women Act. The act, passed in September 1994, created the National Domestic Violence Hotline.[93]

Criminal trial for murder

Background

The pursuit, arrest, and trial of Simpson were among the most widely publicized events in American history. Simpson's integrated defense counsel team, named the "Dream Team",[94] included Kardashian, Johnnie Cochran, Robert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey, and Alan Dershowitz. The prosecution for the State of California was lead by Marcia Clark and Christopher A. Darden.[14][95][96] The judge was Lance Ito. The trial ran from January to October 1995.[14] It was often characterized as the "trial of the century" because of its international publicity, likened to that of Sacco and Vanzetti and the Lindbergh kidnapping.[97] The jury sequestered for 266 days, the longest in California history. It ended up including 10 Black people in a 12-person jury. Before the trial began, it was discovered the police investigation had been flawed: "Photo evidence had been lost or mislabeled; DNA had been collected and stored improperly, raising a possibility that it was tainted".[14]

In 1995, while waiting to appear before a jury for his trial hearing, Simpson published the book I Want to Tell You: My Response to Your Letters, Your Messages, Your Questions, which was intended to be a "self-portrait of [his] mind at this critical time", and included letters he had received while incarcerated.[98] It was produced with Lawrence Schiller.[14]

Prosecution and defense cases

Prosecutors provided DNA evidence, including both victims' blood being found in Simpson's car, Brown's blood being found on Simpson's socks, and hair and clothing fibers consistent with Simpson, Brown, and Goldman, as well as fibers from a 1993–94 Ford Bronco and Brown's dog, being found on a black leather glove recovered from Simpson's home.[78][99] The other glove in the pair was found at Brown's condo. The defense claimed that the glove found at Brown's condo did not fit Simpson's hand. In response, prosecutors theorized that Simpson had not been taking anti-inflammatory medications for his arthritis, which would make his hand swell if he tried to put on the glove during the trial. A Los Angeles County Jail doctor said this was not the case, and that Simpson had been taking his medications every day, on time. The defense then claimed, "If the glove does not fit, you must acquit."[99] Prosecutors also raised concerns that because the glove had been soaked in blood, and was repeatedly frozen and thawed before the trial, that it would have shrunk. Cochran denied this claim. When Simpson tried the glove on in court, he struggled to put it on. People magazine wrote that this moment was crucial to his acquittal.[78][99]

Mark Fuhrman in 2008

The defense alleged that the crime scene had been compromised, using audiotape recordings of Mark Fuhrman, an officer who was at the scene and collected evidence, repeatedly using a racial slur (the n-word) in an interview with an aspiring screenwriter. Fuhrman was later charged with perjury for lying about not saying the slur, and pleaded no contest.[14][78][91][100] This added to the popular perception that LAPD officers were racist, which worked against the police reforms being made by the city of Los Angeles since the beating of Rodney King in 1991.[101] The trial created a public discourse on race relations, motivated by Bailey and Cochran's cross-examination of Fuhrman over the tapes. NPR wrote in 2024 that it "divided the nation" along racial lines; White people were more likely to believe in Simpsons' guilt, while Black people were more likely to believe in his innocence. Many believed Simpson was being set up by the police,[102] taking into consideration the LAPD's history of corruption, the acquittal of the LAPD officers who beat Rodney King, and that Fuhrman, who found the glove at Simpson's home, entered the home without a search warrant. The defense argued that Fuhrman had planted the glove.>[14][91][103] Jim Newton wrote for the Los Angeles Times that "the effect [of the defense's focus on Fuhrman] on the jury was inescapable".[101]

Verdict and aftermath

The New York Times wrote in 2024 that "in the end, it was the defense that had the overwhelming case, with many grounds for reasonable doubt, the standard for acquittal".[14] The trial culminated after 11 months on October 3, 1995, when the jury rendered a verdict of "not guilty" for the two murders. An estimated 100 million people nationwide tuned in to watch or listen to the verdict announcement.[97] The jury deliberation lasted three hours. By the end, the trial produced "126 witnesses, 1,105 items of evidence and 45,000 pages of transcripts". Simpson was released after 474 days in custody.[14]

Immediate reaction to the verdict was known for its division along racial lines: a poll of Los Angeles County residents showed that most African Americans there felt justice had been served by the verdict, while the majority of whites and Latinos opined that it had not.[104] NBC News wrote in 2024 that "Black residents in parts of Los Angeles spilled out onto the street, cheering and passing celebratory drinks", and that similar scenes happened across the country.[105] In 1994, 22% of Black respondents to a poll believed Simpson was guilty, as opposed to 63% of white people.[105] A 2016 poll showed that 57% of Black Americans and 83% of White Americans believed Simpson was guilty.[106] This change was partially caused by the verdict of Simpson's later civil trial.[105]

Following Simpson's acquittal, no additional arrests or convictions related to the murders were made. He maintained his innocence in subsequent media interviews.[107] In May 2008, Simpson's associate Mike Gilbert claimed that Simpson had admitted his role as the murderer, saying he used the knife that Brown was holding when she opened her condo's door for him that night, and that he had stopped taking his arthritis medicine so his hands would swell in court. Simpson's lawyer Yale L. Galanter denied this, saying Gilbert was "delusional".[14]

Wrongful death civil trial

Following Simpson's acquittal of criminal charges, the families of Ron Goldman and of Nicole Brown Simpson filed a civil lawsuit against Simpson. Daniel Petrocelli represented plaintiff Fred Goldman (Ronald Goldman's father), while Robert Baker represented Simpson.[108] Superior Court Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki presided,[108] and he barred television and still cameras, radio equipment, and courtroom sketch artists from the courtroom.[109] The trial excluded discussion of racial issues, which were considered "inflammatory and speculative".[14] On October 23, 1996, opening statements were made, and on January 16, 1997, both sides rested their cases.[110]

On February 5, 1997, a civil jury in Santa Monica, California, unanimously found Simpson liable for the wrongful death of and battery against Goldman, and battery against Brown. (The Brown family had not filed a wrongful death claim.)[111] Simpson was ordered to pay $33,500,000 in damages: $8.5 million in compensatory damages to the Goldman family, and $12.5 million in punitive damages to each family.[112] His net worth at the time was $11 million.[14]

In 1997, Simpson defaulted on his mortgage at the home in which he had lived for 20 years, at 360 North Rockingham Avenue, and the lender foreclosed the property. In July 1998, the house was demolished by its next owner, Kenneth Abdalla, an investment banker and president of the Jerry's Famous Deli chain.[113] In February 1999, an auction of Simpson's Heisman Trophy and other belongings netted almost $500,000, which went to the Goldman family.[114] The Goldman family also tried to collect Simpson's NFL $28,000 yearly pension,[115] but failed to collect any money.[116]

In June 2022, Ron Goldman's father, Fred, alleged in court papers (intended to keep the wrongful death and battery judgment viable) that Simpson owed $96 million due to significant interest generated on the initial order to pay damages.[117]

Other legal troubles

In 2007, the state of California said that Simpson owed $1.44 million in back taxes.[118] A tax lien was filed in his case on September 1, 1999.[119]

In the late 1990s, Simpson attempted to register "O. J. Simpson", "O. J.", and "The Juice" as trademarks for "a broad range of goods, including figurines, trading cards, sportswear, medallions, coins, and prepaid telephone cards".[120] A "concerned citizen", William B. Ritchie, sued to oppose the granting of federal registration on the grounds that doing so would be immoral and scandalous.[121]

In February 2001, Simpson was arrested in Miami-Dade County, for simple battery and burglary of an occupied conveyance, for pulling the glasses off another motorist during a traffic dispute three months earlier. If convicted, Simpson could have faced up to 16 years in prison, but he was tried and quickly acquitted of both charges in October.[122][84]

On December 4, 2001, Simpson's Florida home was searched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on suspicion of ecstasy possession and money laundering. The FBI had received a tip that Simpson was involved in a major drug trafficking ring after 10 other suspects were arrested in the case. Simpson's home was thoroughly searched for two hours, but no illegal drugs were discovered, and no arrest or formal charges were filed following the search. Investigators uncovered equipment capable of stealing satellite television programming, which was later evidence in a federal lawsuit.[123]

In July 2002, Simpson was arrested in Miami-Dade County for water speeding through a manatee protection zone and failing to comply with proper boating regulations.[124] The misdemeanor boating regulation charge was dropped, and Simpson was fined for the speeding infraction.[125]

In March 2004, satellite television network DirecTV, Inc. accused Simpson in a Miami federal court of using illegal electronic devices to pirate its broadcast signals. The company later won a $25,000 judgment, and Simpson was ordered to pay an additional $33,678 in attorney's fees and costs.[126]

If I Did It book

In 2006, publisher ReganBooks had planned to release Simpson's book If I Did It, which was supposed to be his account of how he would hypothetically kill Brown and Goldman.[98] Pablo Fenjves ghostwrote the book, based on interviews with him.[127] The publishing deal allegedly started when ReganBooks employee Judith Regan received a phone call from Simpson's lawyers, who said he was ready to confess to the murders. Regan claimed the word "If" was put in the title so that Simpson would have plausible deniability when his children read the book, because "he couldn't tell them that he had done it". The book was scheduled for release in November 2006, but was cancelled beforehand due to public outcry.[98] Also cancelled was a scheduled TV interview with Fox.[14]

Nicole. Jesus. I looked down and saw her on the ground in front of me,

curled up in a fetal position at the base of the stairs, not moving. Goldman was only a few feet away, slumped against the bars of the fence. He wasn't moving either. Both he and Nicole were lying in giant pools of blood. I had never seen so much blood in my life. It

didn't seem real, and none of it computed.

If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer, Fenjves (2006), p. 81.

In September 2006, Goldman's father took Simpson back to court to obtain control over Simpson's "right to publicity", for purposes of satisfying the judgment in the civil court case.[128] He claimed that Simpson was advanced $1 million for the book deal and interview, and that they were made to "cheat the family" of the damages owed.[14] In January 2007, a federal judge issued a restraining order prohibiting Simpson from spending any advance he may have received on the book deal and interview. The matter was dismissed before trial for lack of jurisdiction.[128] A California state judge also issued an additional restraining order, ordering Simpson to restrict his spending to "ordinary and necessary living expenses".[128] In March, a judge prevented Simpson from receiving any further compensation from the book deal and TV interview, ordering the bundled book rights to be auctioned.[129] In August, a Florida bankruptcy court awarded the book rights to the Goldman family, to partially satisfy the unpaid civil judgment. The family published the first edition of the book that year. Originally titled If I Did It, they renamed the book to If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer. They also reduced the word "If" in size to such an extent that it appears within the large red "I" in the title, making the title appear to read I Did It: Confessions of the Killer. Additional material was added by the Goldmans, Fenjves, and investigative journalist Dominick Dunne.[130][98]

Las Vegas robbery

Palace Station, Las Vegas, where the robbery took place

On the night of September 13, 2007, a group of men led by Simpson entered a room at the Palace Station hotel-casino and took sports memorabilia at gunpoint, which resulted in Simpson being questioned by police.[131][132] Simpson admitted to taking the items, which he said had been stolen from him, but denied breaking into the hotel room; he also denied that he or anyone else carried a gun.[133][134] He was initially released after questioning.[135]

Two days later, Simpson was arrested,[136] and he was initially held without bail.[137] Along with three other men, Simpson was charged with multiple felony counts, including criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, assault, robbery, and using a deadly weapon.[138][139] Bail was set at $125,000, with stipulations that Simpson have no contact with the co-defendants and that he surrender his passport. Simpson did not enter a plea.[140][141] By the end of October 2007, all three of Simpson's co-defendants had plea-bargained with the prosecution in the Clark County, Nevada, court case. Walter Alexander and Charles H. Cashmore accepted plea agreements in exchange for reduced charges and their testimony against Simpson and three other co-defendants, including testimony that guns were used in the robbery.[142] Co-defendant Michael McClinton told a Las Vegas judge that he too would plead guilty to reduced charges and testify against Simpson that guns were used in the robbery.[143] After the hearings, the judge ordered that Simpson be tried for the robbery.[144]

On November 8, 2007, Simpson had a preliminary hearing to decide whether he would be tried for the charges. He was held over for trial on all 12 counts. Simpson pleaded not guilty on November 29, with an initial setting for trial on April 2008, although it was soon set for September to give the defense more time for their case.[145][146] In January 2008, Simpson was taken into custody in Florida and was extradited to Las Vegas, where he was incarcerated at the Clark County jail for violating the terms of his bail by attempting to contact Clarence "C. J." Stewart. District Attorney David Roger of Clark County provided District Court Judge Jackie Glass with evidence that Simpson had violated his bail terms. A hearing took place on January 16. Glass raised Simpson's bail to US$250,000 and ordered that he remain in county jail until 15 percent was paid in cash.[147] Simpson posted bond that evening and returned to Miami the next day.[148]

The trial began on September 8, 2008, in the court of Nevada District Court Judge Jackie Glass, before an all-white jury,[149] in stark contrast to Simpson's earlier murder trial.[150] Simpson and his co-defendant were found guilty of all charges on October 3.[151] On October 10, Simpson's counsel moved for a new trial (trial de novo) on grounds of judicial errors and insufficient evidence.[152] Simpson's attorney announced he would appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court if Judge Glass denied the motion.[152] The attorney for Simpson's co-defendant, C. J. Stewart, petitioned for a new trial, alleging Stewart should have been tried separately and cited possible misconduct by the jury foreman.[152][153][154]

Simpson faced a possible life sentence with parole on the kidnapping charge, and mandatory prison time for armed robbery.[155] On December 5, 2008, Simpson was sentenced to a total of 33 years in prison,[156] with the possibility of parole after nine years, in 2017.[157] In September 2009, the Nevada Supreme Court denied a request for bail during Simpson's appeal. In October 2010, the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed his convictions.[158] He served his sentence at the Lovelock Correctional Center as inmate 1027820.[159]

A Nevada judge agreed in October 2012, to "reopen the armed robbery and kidnapping case against O. J. Simpson to determine if the former football star was so badly represented by his lawyers that he should be freed from prison and get another trial".[160] A hearing was held beginning May 2013, to determine if Simpson was entitled to a new trial.[161] In November, Judge Linda Bell denied Simpson's bid for a new trial on the robbery conviction. In her ruling, Bell wrote that all Simpson's contentions lacked merit.[162]

Release from prison

On July 31, 2013, the Nevada Parole Board granted Simpson parole on some convictions, but his imprisonment continued based on the weapons and assault convictions. The board considered Simpson's prior record of criminal convictions and good behavior in prison in coming to the decision.[163] At his parole hearing on July 20, 2017, the board decided to grant Simpson parole, with certain parole conditions such as travel restrictions, non-contact with co-defendants from the robbery, and not drinking excessively. He was released on October 1, having served almost nine years.[164][165] In December 2021, Simpson was released an early release from parole by the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation, for good behavior.[166]

Illness and death

In May 2023, Simpson reported that he had been diagnosed with cancer and expressed confidence that he would beat it.[167] He also said he started chemotherapy.[2] In February 2024, it was reported that Simpson was undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.[168] A week and a half before his death, Simpson cancelled a scheduled memorabilia signing because he was not feeling well.[169] In the final days before his death, all of Simpson's children visited him.[170] He died of the disease on April 10, 2024, at the age of 76.[171][14] At the time, Simpson had been living in Las Vegas, right next to the Rhodes Ranch Golf Club.[14]

Simpson's death was met with mixed reactions, with his legal history overshadowing his sporting achievements.[172] The NFL originally reported Simpson's death with an Associated Press copy,[173] and neither the Bills, 49ers, or USC published any condolences or tributes following his death.[174] The Goldman family issued a statement that read, "The hope for true accountability has ended... Thank you for keeping our family, and most importantly Ron, in your hearts...".[175][176] White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a short statement, "Our thoughts are with his families during this difficult time... I know that they have asked for some privacy and so we're going to respect that."[177] Sports analyst Stephen A. Smith mentioned, "One of the greatest athletes we have ever seen... But it all pales in comparison to him being perceived as a double murderer."[178][179] David Zucker, director of The Naked Gun movies, posted a picture of Simpson on his Instagram, with the caption, "His acting was a lot like his murdering: He got away with it, but no one believed him."[180]

In popular culture

The New York Times wrote that Simpson "generated a tide of tell-all books, movies, studies and debate over questions of justice, race relations and celebrity in a nation that adores its heroes". More than 30 books were written on Simpson by the time of his death.[14]

Film and television

During and after the murder trial, Simpson was the frequent subject of mocking jokes by Norm MacDonald on NBC's Saturday Night Live. These jokes, which became famous, caused MacDonald to be fired by NBC executive Dan Ohlmeyer (who was friends with Simpson).[181][182] In Fox Network's TV movie, The O. J. Simpson Story (1995), Simpson is portrayed as a youth by Bumper Robinson and as an adult by Bobby Hosea; his close friend Al Cowlings is portrayed as a youth by Terrence Howard and as an adult by David Roberson.[183][184][185] In CBS's TV movie American Tragedy (2000), Simpson is played by Raymond Forchion.[186]

BBC TV's documentary, O.J. Simpson: The Untold Story (2000), produced by Malcolm Brinkworth, "reveals that clues that some believe pointed away from Simpson as the killer were dismissed or ignored and highlights two other leads which could shed new light on the case."[187] The Investigation Discovery TV movie documentary, OJ: Trial of the Century (2014), begins on the day of the murders, ends on the reading of the verdict, and comprises actual media footage of events and reactions, as they unfolded.[188] Also an Investigation Discovery TV documentary is O.J. Simpson Trial: The Real Story (2016), which entirely comprises archival news footage of the murder case, the Bronco chase, the trial, the verdict, and reactions.[189]

The documentary miniseries, O.J.: Made in America (2016), directed by Ezra Edelman and produced by Laylow Films, is an American five-part, 7+12-hour film that previewed at the Tribeca and Sundance Film Festivals, and aired as part of the 30 for 30 series airing on the ABC and ESPN sister networks. This film adds "rich contextual layers to the case, including a dive into the history of Los Angeles race relations that played such a central role in his acquittal."[190] James Poniewozik observed in his New York Times review that "the director Ezra Edelman pulls back, way back, like a news chopper over a freeway chase. Before you hear about the trial, the documentary says, you need to hear all the stories – the stories of race, celebrity, sports, America – that it's a part of."[191] The film won the 2017 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[192]

In FX's cable TV miniseries The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story (2016), based on Jeffrey Toobin's book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson (1997), Simpson is portrayed by Cuba Gooding Jr.[193] It focused on the events of the trial, and specifically Simpson's associates during it.[14] In NBC's miniseries Law & Order: True Crime – The Menendez Murders (2017), O.J. Simpson is shown to be jailed beside Erik Menendez's cell, and the two shared several conversations throughout Episode 7 (only Simpson's voice is present).[بحاجة لمصدر]

Fox's TV special O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession? (2018), featured an interview Simpson gave in 2006 with publisher Judith Regan, where he gave "hypothetical" details about his role in the murders.[194][195] Though Simpson stated that the details he described were hypothetical, the interview was considered to be an implied confession to the murders.[194][196][197][198][199] In 2018, it was announced Boris Kodjoe would portray Simpson in a film titled Nicole & O.J.[200] The film was never completed. In 2020, Court TV premiered OJ25, a 25-part series documenting each week of the trial and hosted by former Los Angeles prosecutor and legal analyst Roger Cossack.[201]

Exhibits

The Bronco from Simpson's police chase is on display in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee's Alcatraz East Crime Museum.[202][203]

In 2017, Adam Papagan curated a pop-up museum featuring artifacts and ephemera from the trial at Coagula Curatorial gallery in Los Angeles.[204][205]
