OJ Simpson

Bronco chase subject

OJ Simpson was an American football star, actor, and broadcaster who became infamous for the 1994 murder trial following the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

His televised trial and acquittal captivated the nation and exposed racial divisions in attitudes toward police and the justice system.

He was later found liable in a civil suit.

The name often invokes the white Ford Bronco chase or debates about celebrity justice: It was like an OJ trial—everyone had an opinion.
