AceShowbiz - Dubbed the Trial of the Century, the trial on the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson received worldwide coverage that stole headlines. It was because the man accused of the brutal murder was none other than her own ex-husband, O.J. Simpson, who was a retired professional football player. O.J. was tried on the murder of his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman, who was also found dead outside her home in June 1994.
After the highly-publicized trial that spanned eleven months, Simpson was acquitted on two counts of murder, a decision that was controversial up until now. No additional arrested related to the murders have been made and the crime remains unsolved to this day. Despite his acquittal, Simpson was found liable for both deaths in a civil suit in 1997 and ordered to pay $33.5 million in punitive damages to the Brown and Goldman families. A series of legal woes followed in the following years and in 2007, he was arrested for a robbery in Las Vegas. He was found guilty in 2008 and was sentenced to thirty-years in prison, with the possibility of parole after nine years. He was released on parole in 2017.
