As Perezcious readers know, O.J. rocketed to fame as an acclaimed football star. He won the Heisman Trophy while at USC before becoming a Buffalo Bills legend. He’s still considered one of the greatest running backs of all time. He then transitioned to a life in the spotlight in Hollywood, appearing in many films, TV shows, and commercials for Hertz. But that all changed when he was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.
He stood trial in one of the most publicized court cases in American history. He had the help of friend and defense attorney Robert Kardashian for it, along with a huge and high-profile defense team — after leading cops on a low-speed chase in his Ford Bronco on the El Lay freeways. Then, of course, in a shock twist he was acquitted of the killings. But the victims’ families fought back in civil court later, eventually suing him for wrongful death. A Santa Monica judge found the athlete liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay millions in damages.
He couldn’t avoid prison altogether, though. In 2007, he was charged with armed robbery and kidnapping for an incident involving sports memorabilia in Las Vegas.
