Former American football superstar OJ Simpson died of cancer in Las Vegas on April 10 local time at the age of 76. Simpson's death has caused many netizens to discuss Simpson's life experience.
This football star, who was once a smash hit in the United States, was accused of killing his wife in 1994, and because of the "wife murder case" Simpson went from fame to disrepute, and because of the wife murder case, Simpson was acquitted, causing public controversy about the fairness of the American judicial system, and the case once caused a sensation all over the world.
Behind the scenes of Simpson's murder of his wife
After Simpson became famous, he abandoned his married wife, cheated in marriage, and started a cohabitation with Nicole Brown, a waitress he met outside. In 1985, Simpson married Nicole Brown, who was only 18 years old, but killed his current wife Nicole after only 9 years of marriage, how was he discovered?
It turned out that the neighbor noticed that the dog near the Simpson mansion had been barking non-stop, so the neighbor followed the sound of the dog barking to the Simpson mansion, and the neighbor saw the blood-spattered floor, looked towards the door of the house, and found two bloody corpses. The neighbor immediately called the police, and after police investigation, it was found that one of the two deceased was Nicole Brown, the ex-wife of football superstar Simpson, and the other was Goldman, a waiter at a restaurant near Simpson.
At the same time, the police found the blood stains of Simpson and two other victims at the scene of the crime, and at the same time, the police also found Simpson's hair and a glove stained with Simpson's blood on his ex-wife's quilt.
After investigation, the police identified the suspect as Simpson, and when Simpson learned the news, he immediately packed his bags and absconded with a large amount of cash. At the same time, the police also received the news of Simpson's escape, and immediately dispatched a patrol car to follow Simpson, and at the same time dispatched a helicopter to follow Simpson's head.
The chase was also broadcast live on a 24-hour news channel, attracting a large number of viewers in the U.S. and overseas, and was watched by about 95 million people. With limited energy, Simpson eventually drove the car into another villa of his own, where the police arrested him.
The outcome of the Simpson case
Faced with such a solid and well-documented accusation, Simpson was unwilling to be caught like this. So he spent as much as $10 million to hire the best lawyers and detectives in the United States to defend himself, including Dr. Li Changyu, a Chinese detective known as "contemporary Sherlock Holmes", who overturned all four important pieces of evidence from the American police and reversed the Simpson case.
The Simpson team defended Simpson from four aspects: the first was the illegal evidence collection by the American police, and the case was not rigorous; second, the lawyer team successfully provoked racial conflicts and used skin color to exonerate Simpson; third, the jury was composed of one Spaniard, two whites, and nine blacks; and fourth, the strength of the Simpson team was already very strong.
Although it is widely believed that it was Simpson who killed him, after the operation of the Simpson team, the focus was shifted to the issue of racial discrimination by the police, believing that the police framed Simpson because of racial discrimination. So when the evidence was in doubt, the African women on the jury sided with Simpson.
On the morning of October 3, 1995, the prosecutor used the relevant evidence at the scene, hair, blood, and fibrous tissue, to believe that Simpson killed the two victims in an angry and irrational process, but the lawyer claimed that only a very small number of people were killed by their spouses because they were abused, and Simpson was finally acquitted by the prosecutor.
About 150 million viewers listened to or watched the verdict of the trial of the century: Simpson's acquittal. The verdict of Simpson's acquittal caused a huge controversy, with 62% of whites in media interviews at the time believing that Simpson was guilty, while 66% of blacks believed that Simpson was innocent and framed.
Although they were acquitted, Brown and Goldman's family did not give up. A year later, Nicole Brown's family and Goldman's family reopened a civil lawsuit against Simpson, and the case was retried. Because of the new jury and a new team of lawyers, Simpson was less fortunate than in the last trial, in which Simpson was found liable for the deaths of the two victims and needed to pay a total of $33.5 million in compensation to the families of the two victims.
Life Transitions After Sentencing
The high civil compensation, all of Simpson's property added up is not enough, and his property, house and car have also been confiscated.
Simpson didn't really want to pay the money, so he only took out a small part of his property to compensate the victims' families. When asked, Simpson's answer was, "I don't have any money."
Now Simpson's reputation has plummeted because of the murder of his wife, and his job, money, and friends are all gone. Simpson, a once-famously restless football player, has been completely reduced to a black gangster at the bottom of society, and no advertisers or film directors have ever approached Simpson to shoot for him.
Simpson's bad reputation left him with jobs he once looked down upon and couldn't get on the stage: vulgar TV shows, or walking the stage in nightclubs.
From a sports TV commentator to a job that can't be put on the stage, from a good name to a bad reputation, Simpson's heart is very unbalanced.
Finally, in September 2007, Simpson led a group of people to break into a room in a casino in Las Vegas and robbed them at gunpoint, robbing them of sports memorabilia and unpublished memoirs and photographs he had given to a publisher.
This time Simpson was quickly captured, claiming that he had only taken back what was his own. But he overestimated the trust of the younger brothers, who acted as tainted witnesses in order to protect themselves, and agreed to the police's request to correct Simpson's crimes in exchange for a reduced sentence.
In the face of the facts, Simpson was sentenced to up to 33 years in prison at Lovelock Correctional Center for illegal use of firearms for robbery, and Simpson was not released on bail for the first nine years. 13 years ago, Simpson was acquitted in court for killing his wife, and 13 years later, Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison for robbery, which is really embarrassing.
It wasn't until October 2017 that Simpson, who was in his 70s, was released on parole because of good behavior in prison. Simpson is still in good physical condition and mental state after being released from prison, and he does not look like he is in his 70s at all.
Twists and turns in life
Simpson grew up in the United States in a family with poor living conditions, and when he was a child, he also suffered from rickets, he self-deprecatingly called himself a poor cub, and his poor friends often did some gangs and stealing things on the street, and even was caught doing bad things at the age of 15, and was caught in the San Francisco Youth Guidance Center for a short period of imprisonment.
Growing up in a black community, Simpson knew that it was difficult for him to get ahead through education, and he wanted to become a football star through sports, so he often went to various universities for basic training, and finally Simpson was appreciated by the football coach of the University of San Francisco for his talent and hard work, and entered the University of Southern California.
At USC, Simpson showed an extraordinary talent in football, where he played in American football, where he set a record for the Heisman Award with 1,709 yards and 22 touchdowns, which is considered the greatest honor a college football player can receive. In the same year, Simpson was also awarded the Walter Camp Prize.
In 1970, Simpson entered the footfarol team with a first-place finish, leading the players to create one championship after another. His athletic talent brought him endless accolades, a good reputation, and countless amounts of money went into Simpson's pocket.
Simpson's success is the envy of many ordinary people, but Simpson, who is used to living a good life, did not cherish it, because of his stupidity, he killed his ex-wife without planning, and because of the wife murder case, Simpson changed from a star to a socially disgusted person.
Because of this wife murder case, Simpson lost his future, and Simpson's good hand should be played into a bad card by himself. At the same time, Simpson died of cancer, and the glory and controversy of this life will also become history, and the truth of Simpson's wife murder case will be completely hidden and become the unsolved case of the century.
