His family released statements to the media that Orenthal James Simpson died on Wednesday, April 10, at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer.
"So what about us?" One can think so.
"How many people die a day in America?"
Someone else can ask.
So why did I want to write a note about this?
Because he is a very controversial character who is famous not only in America but also all over the world.
OJ Simpson, who achieved great fame in the American football field, was not only one of the most talented players of that era, but he also made a huge fortune from it.
Born on July 9, 1947 in San Francisco, California, Orenthal James Simpson was a figure who changed the way mainstream sports at the time viewed athletes - particularly African American athletes, or black Americans as white players.
Simpson's rise began at the University of Southern California, where he was arguably the greatest college runner of all time.
Is he unique simply because he is a talented player? Not at all.
Whatever Simpson did as a football player, he will always be remembered for being the prime suspect in one of the most famous double-murder trials in American history. At that stage, the American people looked at their televisions daily and watched the case in amazement, but it was a case that divided the entire country along white and black ethnic lines.
What is this case of OJ Simison, who misled the American people, in a country where we hear such unspoken news every day like murders, thefts, horrible car accidents, etc.?
He married a beautiful white girl named Nicole Brown Simpson in 1985 and divorced her in 1992 after seven years of unsuccessful marriage.
After that, on June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown and her alleged friend, Ron Goldman, were found murdered in their home. OJ Simpson has been arrested and prosecuted by the local police for this double murder.
It is about this part of the case that I mentioned above that it became the trial that divided the people into black and white people in American history.
I still remember that I, who was young at that time, eagerly searched for details about this trial. A group of the most talented lawyers in America at that time, judges in various fields, and a large group of experts participated in this case. I still remember that a pair of blood-stained gloves (gloves) suspected to be the murderer's were presented to the case as evidence by the police and a great controversy was created about it. Because the pair of socks did not fit O J's hands. I remember even fabric experts were called to present the facts to the court after carefully examining the pair of hand socks.
But after a long trial, he was found not guilty. The verdict was the most watched on television in American history.
Then in 1997, the family of Nicole Gay and Ron, who died, filed a civil case again, and in that case, OJ Simison was found guilty and ordered to pay 33.5 million US dollars to the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman as compensation for the two deceased families.
It became a footnote in one of the most famous criminal trials in American history.
OJ's legal troubles did not end there. Later, he was again convicted of a hotel robbery and had to serve several years in prison.
