Former NFL player O. J. Simpson had an extraordinary life and became one of the greatest athletes of all time. However, Simpson’s career and reputation faced a roadblock when he was arrested for the murders of his ex-wife and one of her friends. Due to his involvement, the case became a nationwide phenomenon.
Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were stabbed to death on the night of June 12, 1994. When Simpson returned to Los Angeles, authorities interviewed the former NFL player but didn’t arrest him. Later, police found blood inside Simpson’s car and took his blood for DNA testing. Surprisingly, the DNA matched, and the investigators led him to be charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Authorities told Simpson to surrender, but instead, he fled in a white Ford Bronco. Police then arrested him after a hi-octane car chase.
Prosecutors presented evidence and noted that Simpson abused Nicole Brown Simpson. They told the jury about the blood from the crime scene found in O. J. Simpson’s car and house. However, the trial became interesting when the prosecution team asked the former player to wear black gloves. According to them, the killer wore these black gloves while killing the duo. Simpson wore the gloves, and they didn’t fit him. As a result, the jury found him not guilty.
In 2007, Simpson was arrested again in another case and found guilty. The jury sentenced him to 33 years in prison.
Where is O. J. Simpson now?
In September 2007, authorities arrested O. J. Simpson once again in Las Vegas. According to reports, the former NFL player led two sports memorabilia dealers into a Las Vegas hotel room and stole some stuff at gunpoint. Simpson noted that the memorabilia belonged to him and were stolen from him. During the interrogation, he denied that he broke into the hotel room.
The former NFL player was arrested and charged with multiple felony counts, including kidnapping, robbery, and criminal conspiracy. The jury found him guilty and sentenced him to 33 years in prison. After spending almost nine years at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada, the latest reports suggest that O. J. Simpson was recently seen walking through the streets of Las Vegas. He is currently living in Las Vegas.
