O.J. Simpson’s exhaustive search for the real killers ended Wednesday as he died from cancer at age 76.
“On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace,” a family statement said.
The Juice has been refrigerated.
Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson could not be reached for comment.
O.J. was acquitted of their murders in 1995. His was the original “Trial of the Century.”
A poster on X said it best: “We the jury find cancer not guilty.”
Three years later, a jury that wasn’t brain-dead found O.J. liable for the deaths in a civil lawsuit filed by the Goldman and Brown families. O.J. was convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas in 2008. He served 9 years in prison before being granted parole in 2017.
Lady Justice remains forever denied.
O.J. lived the American Dream.
His charisma stood as undeniable as his NFL prowess, or his skills with a serrated knife.
He was the first Black athlete to cross over into national superstardom after his playing days. O.J. was M.J. before M.J.
At O.J.’s zenith, he was a Pro Football Hall of Famer, a TV star, a movie star, an NFL commentator, a coveted commercial pitch man, and one of the most beloved celebrities in the nation.
He was, as they say, “killing it.”
His TV and film credits include “Towering Inferno,” three “Naked Gun” movies, “Capricorn One,” multiple network guest appearances, the Monday Night Football booth, and Arnold Palmer’s leading blocker for Hertz.
O.J. broke the NFL’s 2,000-yard single-season rushing barrier in 1973 needing just 14 games.
