Simpson was born in San Francisco and was once an American football star. While playing football, Simpson not only set a new record for American football, but also was successfully elected to the American Football Hall of Fame, which can be said to be both fame and fortune. After retiring, Simpson became a movie star and sports commentator.
But more than 2 years after Simpson retired, a murder case once again pushed Simpson to the forefront. Simpson's ex-wife Nicole died at home with another man. Witnesses said that a tall black man similar to Simpson was seen nearby. Police investigators identified Simpson as a suspect in this case.
So far, this is a fairly common criminal case. Although Simpson was a black man, he was not interested in black people after he became famous. On the contrary, he was quite obsessed with white people. Later, he even divorced his black wife and chose white Nicole.
But their married life is not happy, because Simpson himself is said to be very violent. In court, this accusation of violent tendency became a very important evidence. However, Simpson was not willing to be helpless. He spent nearly 1 million dollars to find the best team of lawyers and scientists for himself to help him get rid of the crime.
Simpson's defense team is one of the few dream teams in American history. In this case, Simpson's wife-killing case immediately aroused widespread concern throughout the United States. In the end, the American criminal court ruled that Simpson himself was not guilty. Although the criminal court ruled Simpson innocent, in the subsequent civil court, the civil court ruled Simpson guilty and made Simpson pay a very high compensation.
Here, when the civil court says that Simpson is guilty, it does not mean that Simpson is the murderer, but that Simpson is responsible for the incident itself. The civil court thinks that Simpson is indirectly responsible for this case, so Simpson will be compensated.
So, after this wife-killing case, how was Simpson?
After the trial, Simpson paid part of the money and moved to Miami to live with some local gangs and thugs. Although it is said that Simpson was once a very rich big star, after these things, Simpson almost became poor.
In 27, Simpson heard that a businessman wanted to sell his personal belongings. After getting the news, Simpson immediately rushed to the hotel and led a group of people to rob these so-called personal belongings. But in fact, these are not Simpson's personal belongings, just souvenirs signed by him.
Although these items were small, Simpson was finally convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to 33 years in prison because there were other people around him and all of them had guns.
Simpson was not released on parole until nine years later, when he was seventy years old. Simpson's life is also bumpy, and he finally became a big star with a lot of money, but he returned to before liberation overnight because of this case. Not only did he almost get arrested, but he also spent all the money in his family on this case.
But the root of Simpson's tragedy lies in his character. If he doesn't have those violent tendencies, people often don't think he is one of the suspects. If his character had been a little better, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation.
