OJ Simpson dead: Star’s stunning downfall, from car chase after wife’s death to infamous trial
THE creator of OJ Simpson's final movie says he never believed the polarizing football star-turned-actor was capable of murder but now we'll never know for certain following his shock cancer death.superstar, Simpson's on-field accolades were irrevocably marred after he was arrested for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, who were found stabbed to death at Brown's home in June 1994.
Speaking exclusively to The U.S. Sun, Bernstein said Simpson mistakenly sat in one of his seats at the Orange Bowl Classic, in Miami, and the pair struck up a conversation. He described the NFL Hall of Famer as a "great guy" who was a pleasure to work with, and who never displayed any propensity for violence.
Bernstein said he last reached out to Simpson in November when he was visiting Las Vegas but never received a response. He said he last spoke to Simpson in late 2019 or early 2020 when The Naked Gun star left him a message, asking him how he'd been and telling him to reach out if he was ever visiting Vegas.
"So that was scary, as was the fact he was one of the greatest football players of all time, and he could run through 300-500lb people and get up and walk away like nothing happened." "Hospice?! Hospice?! You talking about Hospice?" Simpson said in a video, parodying a famous rant made by NBA legend Allen Iverson during practice.
He was later apprehended at his home after making a call to his mom and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.On June 17, 1994, OJ Simpson, seen driving his white Ford Bronco, led a mass of police cars on a 90-minute chase through southern California. The prosecution, led by Marcia Clark and Christopher A. Darden, was prepared for trial armed with overwhelming evidence, including the blood-stained glove, shoe prints, hair strands, shirt fibers, and more.
