O.J. Simpson was arrested for the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman in 1994. The trial began in 1995 and ended four months later, Simpson was charged as not guilty.
Orenthal James Simpson was one of the most famous running backs in American football history. The majority of Simpson’s career was spent playing for the Buffalo Bills even though he ended his football career with the 49ers in 1979. A while after he retired from football, Simpson spent his time as a sports commentator, acting, and golfing. He regularly played golf at various events and also had a role in two movies. Simpson met Nicole Brown in 1979. Nicole was 18 years old and he was 30 years old. February 2, 1985 they were, what people thought as, happily married but …show more content…
They suggested Simpson was physically incapable of committing the crime. On July 10, 1995, Simpson’s daughter Arnelle took the stand, being the first defense witness. After Arnelle would be Simpson’s sister and his mother, Eunice Simpson. By the time his mother finished, some jury members were showing more empathy for the Simpson family than for the families of the victims. The most talked about aspect of the defense case concerned Mark Fuhrman, the LAPD officer who found the bloody glove and, as a prosecution witness, denied using “the n word.” Turns out, he lied. Mark used “the n word” many times and it was on tape. Laura Hart McKinny interviewed Mark for a script she was writing.

Simpson should’ve been put in prison for the murders, he was pleaded not guilty but he knows what he did and so does everyone
