You know, as a youngster this would have been sad news. Now I can’t be bothered to care.

Well, lot to unpack here. Here's a guy who went from beloved star to one of the most hated men in America and perpetual punchline for the rest of his life. And deservedly so. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends, if he still had any, but I'm struggling to shed a tear for OJ himself.

I have fond memories of him in the Naked Gun movies. He's hilarious in those.
Not gonna give him an RIP.

Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends, if he still had any, but I'm struggling to shed a tear for OJ himself. Exactly thats why I posted because of that. I even did a report on it in school. This post was in no way to glamorize him |

Bastard really took it to his grave. At least he spent a few years of his later life behind bars.

Somehow I doubt Frank Drebin and Nordberg are being reunited
In all seriousness, that whole fiasco remains an early newsworthy memory for me. I had no idea why he was, but I remember watching that bizarre chase with my parents on tv. I had no idea what the trial was about but I remember every late night show and sitcom spoofing it. Hell I remember WWE parodying it. As an adult, it remains a fascinating case, particularly of criminal investigation and legal process gone haywire.
