O.J. Simpson was sent home from hospice a few days before he passed away. He passed away with his loved ones by his side. Unsurprisingly, the reaction to his death was divided. Although some in the football world recalled Simpson as a great player, he is ultimately most known for being found not guilty of double murder in 1995. O.J. Simpson was accused of allegedly killing his then ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and friend, Ronald Goldman. The trial was a country-wide sensation and a milestone of popular culture in the 90s.
Most of the public persisted in believing that O.J. Simpson was to blame for the killings of Brown and Goldman, even after he was found not guilty. Goldman's family eventually sued O.J. in civil court, and the latter was held guilty of both Brown's and Goldman's deaths and compelled to compensate the families with millions of dollars. Prior to his death, the majority of O.J.'s debt remained outstanding. Overall, O.J.'s passing has brought a wave of recollection of his life and the terrible murder that has been in the minds of our culture for almost three decades.
