YouTube Description
as posted by the channelO.J. Simpson, the football legend and movie star whose acquittal for the murder of his White ex-wife exposed a racial chasm in the US in the 1990s, has died. He was 76.
The cause was cancer, according to a post by his family on his account on X, formerly Twitter. It said he died on April 10 “surrounded by his children and grandchildren.” He had been a free man since 2017, when he finished serving a nine-year prison sentence for kidnapping and armed robbery in a case that developed after his acquittal for murder.
Simpson was widely known and admired before his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman were found in 1994 with their throats slashed. Police famously pursued Simpson down a California freeway in a televised car chase.
His arrest triggered a worldwide mania about the case, which resulted in an almost year-long trial that made the judge and lawyers on both sides household names — and racial discrimination a leading topic of conversation.
