OJ Simpson
Orenthal James 'OJ' Simpson is a former American football player, actor, and broadcaster who gained worldwide notoriety in the 1990s during a highly publicized murder trial. After his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were found murdered in 1994, Simpson became a key suspect. His subsequent slow-speed car chase in a white Bronco and trial captivated the nation, resulting in a not guilty verdict in 1995. The case raised significant discussions about race, celebrity, and the criminal justice system in America.
