“We the jury in the above entitled action, find the defendant, Orenthal James Simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, a human being.” The courtroom was filled with gasps, tears, cries of joy, and many hugs.“We the jury in the above entitled action, find the defendant, Orenthal James Simpson, not guilty of the crime of murder of Ronald Lyle Goldman, a human being.” More weeping and celebrations followed the second verdict.

OJ, also known as “the Juice,” was named an All-American halfback twice and was the 1968 winner of the Heisman trophy. Following his college career, Simpson was drafted by the Buffalo Bills and continued to impress the country. During his time as a Bill, the Juice rushed over one thousand yards for five seasons in a row (1972-1976), ran over two thousand yards in the 1973 season, becoming the first player to do so, and broke multiple other records during his career.

OJ starred in The Naked Gun movies, as well as a handful of movies during the 80’s and became the spokesman for Hertz (“O.J. Simpson”). America loved the Juice regardless of what he was doing.

The duo went the closest McDonald’s to pick up a snack, then returned home just before 9:30 (“O.J. Simpson Trial Witness”). At approximately 10:45 a limo arrived to shuttle OJ to LAX for his 11:45 flight to Chicago (“A guide to the Simpson case”). During his time on the plane, Simpson had supposedly been acting outgoing as usual, chatting with others about golf. The Juice arrived in Chicago the next morning and checked into his hotel. After settling into his room, OJ received a call from the police, explaining that Nicole had been murdered (“He could run”). OJ immediately checked out of his hotel and returned to the airport to fly back to
