In what became known as “The Trial of the Century,” Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of the double slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
He would not escape prison forever as he would be convicted by a jury in Las Vegas and sentenced to prison for leading five men, including two with guns, in a 2007 confrontation with two sports collectibles dealers at an off-strip Las Vegas casino hotel.
Simpson was discharged from parole on Dec. 1, 2021, and has been living in Las Vegas ever since.
