O.J. Simpson — who became one of the most infamous figures in the US during his murder trial in the ’90s — has died after a cancer battle.

The former NFL star died Wednesday in Las Vegas, his family confirmed. He was 76.

OJ has been sterilized!!

A shame that he died before finding the real killer.

Good

Doubt OJ fooled the Lord at his Judgement when he started his spiel about the “real killer.”

[tflabo]

Had no idea he had cancer. Nicole and Ron Goldman killed by his unfounded jealousy, poor guy was just returning something she left at the restaurant. OJ never manned up and took responsibility for his crimes.

[Seruzawa]

A fool who went from the height of popularity, virtually a household name, to a pariah overnight. All because of the green-eyed monster.

Ron Goldman’s dad hounded OJ for decades. A good man who never stopped seeking justice.

OJ should have listened to the old saw: when you seek revenge dig two graves.

Robert Kardashian after verdict is read.....a look is worth a thousand words

[Deplorable American1776]

Oh well, I guess....

Nah, I won't say what I'm thinking.

Our long national nightmare is over.......................

Roast in hell, OJ.

[wetgundog]

He’s burning, but not in the Towering Inferno. What a P.O.S. he turned out to be,

[tflabo]

Don’t wish anyone to hell, not even OJ but he was on the A list.

Those most responsible for the travesty of justice regarding OJ's murdering of two people are, IMHO, the following (in no particular order):

Gil Garcetti -- The trial should have been in Santa Monica

Marcia Clark -- Incompetent and arrogant

Judge Ito -- He enjoyed the spotlight too much

The Jury -- To find a dumber bunch of people you would need to go a Gavin Newsom family dinner.

I leave off the defense team because they were doing their job. The people listed above, failed to do theirs.

"A fool who went from the height of popularity, virtually a household name..."

When James Cameron got the greenlight to do they first, "Terminator," in the early 80s, Simpson was one of the names floated for the lead role.

It is said that Cameron rejected the suggestion because OJ would not make a convincing killer.

[nwrep]

Good point. I should not have said it out loud.

[Clutch Martin]

His son did it. Hated the stepmom, his DNA was never tested, the glove probably fit.

[Michael.SF.]

Yup. I recall watching that at the time and thought the exact same thing.

I kept yelling at Fuhrman on the TV to say he only used it every time he sang along with his favorite Rap songs

The guy got away with a double homicide and never paid for the murders of his ex-wife and some hapless waiter, and died a free man at a ripe old age. Shameful.
