I was hooked on the case, the first to be seen live in the UK, and watched most of the trial - it was fascinating .

didn't a civil court award damages against him for unlawful deaths.
let's think of his 2 children, they'll have to cope with it all being turned over again, and more, now that people can't be sued.

I think there was an attempt to secure a conviction with a degree of framing but I think he was guilty, and attempts to frame him got him acquitted.

You reckon he was framed? Innocent?

Ahh I didn’t realise he was that old I suppose the memory of him is stuck in that ‘year of intrigue’
If it was a wrongful sentence that was awful I remember the gloves he was supposed to have worn in the murder wouldn’t even go on his hands
He was always much loved before that terrible day

O.J. Simpson, the former football great who was accused of and ultimately acquitted of the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, has succumbed to his battle with cancer.

Prostate cancer apparently.
