THE creator of OJ Simpson’s final movie says he never believed the polarizing football star-turned-actor was capable of murder but now we’ll never know for certain following his shock cancer death.
Simpson, 76, died at his home in Las Vegas on Wednesday following a short battle with prostate cancer.
A once beloved NFL superstar, Simpson‘s on-field accolades were irrevocably marred after he was arrested for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, who were found stabbed to death at Brown’s home in June 1994.
Simpson denied any wrongdoing and was later controversially acquitted of the killings in a tumultuous months-long court case the following year which is commonly referred to today as the “Trial of the Century.”
Despite avoiding jail time, a separate civil trial jury found Simpson liable for the pair’s deaths in 1997 and ordered him to pay $33.5 million to Brown and Goldman’s families.
Simpson – known otherwise as The Juice – struggled in the years after his acquittal with his once-fledging career in Hollywood grinding to a screeching halt.
