Complicated Legacy: OJ Simpson Dies At 76 After Battle With Cancer, Family Says

- O.J. Simpson, the former football great who was accused of and acquitted of the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, has died at 76.
His family posted this message on social media:
"On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer."
He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren.
During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace. -The Simpson Family"
Simpson, nicknamed "The Juice," broke records as a college and professional football player. His celebrity extended after his football career as a sportscaster, an actor, and a corporate spokesman.
Simpson became infamous in 1994 when 95 million Americans watched as his white Ford Bronco led police on a 2-hour, 60-mile, low-speed televised chase through Los Angeles after his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, were brutally murdered h outside of her Brentwood home.
Simpson stood trial for the murders and in October 1995, he was acquitted.
Twelve years later, Simpson was arrested after leading a group of men into a Las Vegas hotel and casino to steal, at gunpoint, what he claims was his own sports memorabilia. Simpson was charged with several felony counts, including kidnapping and armed robbery. The following year, he was found guilty and sentenced to up to 33 years. Simpson was paroled on Oct. 1, 2017.

If you are 42 or older, you know intimate details of that trial. You were inundated with it for almost a year. No other event in the last thirty years had that power.
Yes. It was riveting.
Kennedy Murder
There's so many things about the trial that so many people who were old enough to see it either just don't know, or don't remember. With lead detective Mark Furhman, for example, so many people only know/remember him for using racial slurs and the defense "played the race card." These people seem to either not know, or remember, that Mark Fuhrman, the lead detective, actually pleaded the fifth at the trial for planting evidence. When you remind people that go "OJ did it" of that, they get completely silent.
*They have NO answer for why the damn lead detective, who was the only one who "found" the "mountain of evidence" against OJ, would plead the fifth for planting evidence* .
@@naithngr81-jh2bb But he wasn’t the lead detective. When the lead detective told him, I’m paraphrasing now, “you can go home now”. He didn’t, he stuck around, went off on his own around OJs property and he so-called found the bloody glove, etc. People seemed to have forgotten that when Johnny Cochran had him in depositions and they discussing the glove he saw at Nicoles condo, Furhman said, “that’s when I saw THEM. But no, the media made no mention of that fact. This case is why I can’t stand the media
A year?! At least two years and let's not forget the dancing Itos.
The fact that the Racist detective is the only one to find ALL the incriminating evidence pleaded the 5th when asked if he planted the evidence found is left out is what boggles my mind. O.J. didn't do it.
Condolences to the family RIP OJ
Mark Fuhrman went on Oprah when he wrote his book and said some outlandish things, one of which was the knife used to do the killings was right on OJ’s bath tub but forensics failed to collect it
The reason O.J. received all those endorsement deals (and Jim Brown, Ali, Kareem, etc. didn’t) is because those men spoke up for black people.
Did OJ Simpson speak up for Black people? He appeared in ROOTS in the 70s and that’s about all the pro-Black stuff I recall.
@@WenD1908I was shocked that he wanted to be in Roots
Boy I tell you ppl love to playa hate when you dead and gone. You still can't take away his achievements and influence... period. I know OJ spent a lot of time with "other ppl" but he still was able to further open more doors for other black athletes to come behind him
@@angelaroberts7041 I can see why.
@@WenD1908 Um, OJ did not stand up for Black people. He loved white people and then murdered two of them.
Thank you Roland Martin for highlighting OJ Simpson achievements. Condolences to the family.
O.J. Simpson has done both for The Black Community at all ever.
Rest in peace O.J. My condolences to your children family and friends
I doubt he's "resting".
It was a damn shame that he couldn't live his life after being found not guilty. They set him up at the palace station hotel in Vegas. It's criminal. My deepest condolences to his family my wife use to deliver mail to his house in Vegas when he got out of prison. I hope the haters got what they're looking for cancer is a real evil thing to die from I wouldn't want my worse enemy to die from it
Yes they did set him up. George Zimmerman, Kyle Rittenhouse and many more like them who willfully murdered innocent people could live their life in peace.
OJ, should have moved to another part of the world. He certainly had enough money to do it. One of his attorneys suggested that he do so, but no, he wanted to stay here. I never liked OJ, he was an honorary white man and perceived himself as such. He said he never wanted to wake up and see a nappy headed woman in his bed. However, the Black community stood by him 30 years ago but not when he went to jail the second time. Do I believe he killed those two people? Yes, I do. Did he get away with it? Yes, he did. Was I angry or upset? No, I wasn't. Not when I take into ALL the INJUSTICES MY RACE HAS ENDURED IN THIS COUNTRY.
OJ at that time was still in the limelight and partying with young white babes which is fine but he should have kept a much lower profile. That Vegas scene was ridiculous which I feel OJ should have avoided.
Roland's nonbiased reporting is refreshing and very needed with this story. Thanks Roland....😊
Non biased, you are funny, you must do standup.
Agreed.that guy didn't want to recognize that
He didn’t do it, he was set up
Most Definitely he was Black With $$$$$$$$$$$$&&
Dream on !
I concur. THAT black book that wasn't admissible should have been admissible!
@@Infinite.Worldz Some Puerto Rican guy.
He was involved ,also they believed that another possibility was his son along with him they never looked into his son who was very violent and has history of violence and anger problems....doesn't matter hell has welcomed him ;gratefully
All the books Roland Martin and Dr Carr have read. I can’t believe they didn’t read Journey To Justice by Johnny Cochran. The book lays out the facts and shows evidence was planted in his home.
No evidence was planted. Oj was a killer and a wife beater. I wonder why Roland Martin didn't mention OJ was a wife beater. 🤔 We all know why.
Didn't his defense team change his home to a pro-black mecca! When OJ wasn't pro-black. However the LAPD was accused of planting evidence.
People are still making money off his name and is not ashamed of it. I will always believe O.J. did not do it.
So will I
You crazy. Go read "If I Did It." Dude was found criminally liable for two human beings' deaths.
@@MP-bk5sf. If you didn’t watch the “live” trial back then, you would NEVER know what happened. Ratings are/media driven and racism doesn’t help either. You simply will have to see for yourself!
He was found NOT GUILTY !!!
@@MP-bk5sf
It was Civil Liability has a very low bar, as opposed to Criminal Liability which was the case he was found not guilty of...
Does anyone notice that most movies and television shows stopped pushing the idea of "innocent until proven guilty" after the OJ verdict?
Yes!!!
They never stopped the practice of guilty until proven innocent either.
So, no, that was unnoticed. I stand by my statement above despite not knowing how he did it and managed to get on a plane and skip town so fast.
They still push it when it’s white individuals are on the other side of the trial. But when it comes to African Americans it’s guilty no matter what.
No
With us they never stopped saying guilty until proven innocent
The O.J. trial has been compared to the Emmett Till trial (as one example) in terms of the guilty parties being found "Innocent"--and the similar impact on the two races. One key difference is that the guilty parties in the Emmett Till trial later admitted that they were GUILTY.
the Tale of Two Americas: one Black, one White (Caucasian); in (South Central) Los Angeles, there are Asians (as in ("rooftop") Korean grocery owners) and Latinos; 1990's Rodney King verdict; the L.A. riots; poor Latasha Harlins (RIP) vs. Soon Ja Du; a unfortunate (Caucasian) truck driver, Reginald Denny, got his butt beat up. (June 1994): I wonder what would happen if AC (Cowlings) drove OJ (to Mexico); the border crossing toll booth would be in the way. the O.J. Simpson case has to be the (real) first reality TV show, before "KUWTK" (Keeping Up with the Kardashians), premiered on the E! Entertainment (basic cable) channel. I was glued/hooked to the TV screen since Day 1. To quote the great Paul Mooney: “The complexion for the protection, for the collection.”
You can add 2020 X president instructs mob to over throw the government and is part of murder and other criminal acts and still haven't had a trial for it. We definitely live in a society that favor one way
I never believed he did it, they painted my man out to be on some Denzel "Equalizer" type that night, bro was not taking out two people in that manner and getting away clean with just a cut on his finger. Definitely believe he knows who did it but we will never know
OJ was a domestic abuser and a murderer. Of course he did it.
Resse is the BOMB. 😊 She is the TRUTH for speaking up for our people😊
R.I.P to SF’s own O.J. Simpson. Condolences to his family.

I looked up Robert Blake dies and all I see is RIP and a lot of condolences after he was acquitted of murder. So why are people upset that OJ is getting condolences
Why do you think? It could be because of his color. Amen
The truth is Glen Rodgers, a serial killer, confessed to both murders and his siblings also said he told them he did it,but it was never taken is what is wrong here.
The truth is OJ killed his ex wife and Ron Goldman.
You're welcome.
The truth in plain sight.....
Right
Faye Reznik told you why Nicole was killed but no one listened to her. Reznik said she (Reznik) was coping drugs from a drug dealer telling them that her friends husband was famous and was good for the money. She also said that when Nicole asked OJ for the money to pay for the drugs he refused to give it to her. Reznik said that when Nicole was killed she went into hiding for fear they would come after her. I always said OJ didn’t kill his wife and friend but he knew who did. Because there is no way a drug dealer is not going to take retribution after he was stiffed for is product. You tell me who is giving their drugs away for free? They tried to frame OJ by wearing the same kind of shoes he wore. What convinced me was upon his return from Chicago he went to the police station he was stripped search and they found nothing but the cut of his finger where OJ said that upon hearing Nicole had been killed he cut his finger picking up broken glass. They ran the luminal wand across his body and found no trace of blood and no bruises or marks like the reporter said. With all the blood it would have soaked through OJs clothes on to the body. Kato Kealin said OJ washed clothes when he got home the night of the murders then took a shower. The cops came in with the luminal solution looking for blood they found nothing. Small drops in the bronco but none on the seats. None in the bathtub and none in the washer. F.Lee Bailey, Robert Kardishian, Robert Shapiro and Alan Dershowitz would have never remained on the case if they thought OJ was guilty. Reznik’s story was enough to create reasonable doubt. But because of the sloppy police work and the sloppy work of the evidence handler plus Johnny Cochran’s attention to detail that theory was never really explored. OJ won his crime of the century case.
@SBA-ic7vt Why has that part never come out? That's not true, because they would have charged him again. The double jepordey law wouldn't protect him. They would have charged him with murder for hire,and he would have been locked up. Stupid lie you could have saved for the devil.
They should have never convicted OJ for that nonsense about his memorabilia, the man went after what was rightfully his
He lost it and should have left it alone. When he knew is stuff was in the hotel, he should have called the police.
That part!!! How you get charged for retrieving your own property???🧐🧐 Why didn’t the police keep searching for the killer or killers of Nicole and Mr. Goldman???🧐🧐 If he was guilty then why did Mark Furman plant evidence???
He was later found in fact guilty in a civil trial. Also wrote "If I Did It." Guy was guilty as hell. We tell white people that Black Lives Matter all the time (and some still need to learn it). Well, these two (white) lives also mattered. OJ did it.
You don't use a gun that's a felony, he got off soft.
That property should have been given for the court settlement to Goldman's.
Because they never want to ADMIT they charged the wrong person !!!
Because they knew who did it.
I was taking a criminal justice class in San Diego during the time of O.J. Simpson trial. My class took a field trip to LA to view the crime scene. We also were able to see crime scene photos. Based on the crime scene the location of the crime scene and the surrounding areas no way one person committed this crime. Moreover, you’re not going to be black visiting this neighborhood and nobody sees you…. without a doubt he was innocent of the charges. People need to stop acting like the district attorney and all those other prosecutors couldn’t do their job or there was something preventing them from doing their job they could not prove the case against him because he didn’t do it and he had good legal representation….
He and his son did it or he was convering for his son who was not investigated who had and has a violent past.. .
Sister please tell our ignorant black entertainers that not but some
May oj Simpson rest in peace 🙏 and family love ❤️
Hillarious. History of wife beating, History of stalking. Not home when the limo driver gets there. A cut on his left hand, Blood drops to the left of the shoeprints left by "the killer". Rare gloves and shoes proven to have been worn and owned by him at the scene. Afro american hairs found in the cap. A car chase - who flees when innocent? Lady I hope I never have you as my lawyer.
If it doesn't fit.
You must acquit🤪
One of the most powerful segments I've ever watched. Dr. Greg Carr was on point!
RIP OJ
🎯
Rest in PISS, OJ
Prayers and condolences to the family
Great coverage! Love the interview. I loved the insight about the fact that there were no blood reminants on OJ after he stripped down. Because he would definitely have some fight wounds if the deceased had defense wounds SMH! This will continue to be an unsolved mystery. I agree with the verdict mainly because people have been sentenced to life with less evidence - so they would've gotten him if they could've - and I agree with the verdict theoretically because its hard to believe that one person can stab two people with a knife. I don't know the scenario but you would think someone would run for help. They're not gonna just wait their turn. SMH - We'll never get to the bottom of this. Those that know have transitioned ......RIP to all 3 💔
I agree.
Rest in PISS, OJ. The victims are the 2 people OJ killed
Mostly agree...but one person can definitely stab multiple people with a knife. Knifing sprees happen all over the world (in countries where there aren't guns) all of the time.
@@mickiemallorie True. But the struggle detailed by the reporter, coupled with lack of bruises, is VERY problematic. Plus, cut on his finger, but none on the glove. No blood inside the glove for that cut. I suspect the above was more powerful for the jury than the whole glove not fitting performance.
R.I.P to the Original Juiceman
Rest in PISS
Thank you Roland for at least still highlighting his achievements despite his legal issues. He still moves the dial for the culture and ppl STILL keep making money and fame off of his name 🙄
OJ Simpson wanted nothing to do with the "culture." You can't be this dense?
I agree.
F you and OJ's achievements. He was a wife beater. Roland didnt mention that. He wants to clean the murderers record and it wont happen. OJ was a domestic abuser who killed his wife and an innocent bystander
@@gidgethrobowski3860you agree with a murderer

When did I say I agreed with a murderer?
Please, let's not forget Latasha Harlins, those people say nothing when we face injustice.

RIP O'Jay - Thank you for the update Roland Martin.
Stress can kill you....RIP OJ
stress causes cancer. Another ♋️dying of cancer 😢
Who remember's when Ron Goldman's father wore a Greek tie after Johnny Cochran wore an Afrikan tie at The O J - Nicole Simoson Trial ? How racist was that ?
The OJ trial was race baiting. Thats all Johnny Cochran did was racebait. He was not African.
None.... Nothing racist about it.
The thing about this case is that the news media had this man guilty before even a trial!!! I thought, so typical of this country!!!
Exactly
That’s what they do essentially if your Jewish your guilty thumbs down when it comes to them they’re the most racist people on the planet
And that was the First Mistake
So typical
if you’re not of a certain age you’ll never understand how big that case was.. honestly feels like it never went away and I’ve been saying for almost 30 years the media constantly looks for the next OJ case
The case was big because of the interracial relationship. White America, and much of black America, were so distracted that they were asleep when a white nationalist terrorist killed a whole bunch of white people (men, women and children) to start a race war. And we stayed asleep until quite recently.
Rich, successful people kill each other all the time. And their cases never warranted nearly this much attention.
Truth. Can’t believe it’s been 30 years
Same
Cut on the hand but no cut in the glove or blood inside of the glove. OJ didn't do it.
He said he cut his hand in the hotel room on a glass, so was he also lying about that .
I still believe he didn't do. But he knows who did it. Buried with him now.
@beverleyreid563 the police also know. Glen Rodgers is a serial killer that confessed to the murders.
@@michaelhodge2104 If they knew and could prove it they would shout it from the housetops
@michaelf6705 no he definitely had a cut to his hand. Ask yourself was he wearing the glove when he cut his hand. If so there would be a cut in the glove or blood inside the glove
They don't let you talk about George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse. So don't you let them talk about OJ Simpson.
Add Dylan Roof, Payton Grendon, Derek Chauvin and the cop who is in hiding who took out Mike Brown in Ferguson.
FACTS
PEOPLE MAD WITH OJ, THEY BEEN KILLINGS US WHOLESALE. TJINK AVPUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ATE OFF OJ!
And so many many more that we do not have enough time to list them!!
That’s a damn lie.
The ONLY reason we know Zimmerman and Rittenhouse is because they killed people.

THANK YOU Mr. Roland Martin FOR KEEPING US INFORMED
OJ was a man. OJ was a son and a father. We should treat him as such and may he rest in peace.
So were the two people whose deaths, OJ was found responsible for
@@ebyd2756what about the condolences that Robert Blake got after he died, and he got away with murder.
you forgot that he was also a double murderer.
I truly hope he repented before the Lord I don't wish anyone to go to hell, but if not peace is definitely not the proper word.
If by rest in peace, you mean sent to Hell, then yes. That's where double murderers go, regardless of their race.
We were given the opportunity to watch this trial at work daily. He wouldn't let his attorneys mention that Nicole was doing drugs. It never came out that Ron was gay. He was supposed to go to the blue Moon bar with his lover but chose to go to her house to take sunglasses left by her mother at the restaurant where he worked. Hence his lover was angry. Ron fought because he didn't think dude would kill him too. Furman another lover of Nicole planted the glove.Kado living there still a mystery. She received 60 thousand dollars a month child support and didn't have to live that close to him if she was scared. The bronco ride was devastation on his part. My coworkers an myself all felt Ron's gay lover did the killing out of jealousy.The knife was used from the restaurant and was never found. Restaurant torn down and O.Js home. From day one of this trial real evidence was hidden due to him having respect for her
More like 30 per month. I would have moved to another part of the country, but no, she wanted to stay around her family and drug using friends.
Who killed Jon Ramsey the little girl.
brother
At least you did a better job on him. Your boy rashad richey did his but looked like he just did it to get it out the way and even said he still thinks he did it.
He can finally Rest In Peace
Personally, I thought Mr. Simpson was innocent of the charges against him. I feel that he should have been given the same semblance of innocence that the public is giving Trump. If they are innocent, they should not be slandered in the public eye. God is the final judge. My condolences to the Simpson family.
Exactly Fly High Juice
I wish y’all would be respectful to the Simpson family. They lost their Father to Prostate cancer. RIP O.J Simpson
Agreed.
My cousin was OJ's roo mate at USC. Many believe he had his son involved . He was complicit but I don't think he physically did it.
People are delusional. The DNA evidence and his behavior makes it clear that he killed those people. He also beat all his wives. I’m amazed at how many people are tying themselves into pretzels defending this trash human being.
Condolences and prayers to the family.
I don't think he killed his wife and her friend.
I always said that
Me either
He confessed to it.
He literally told the world how he nearly cut her damn head off. Sick!
You are delusional AF.
Thank you for acknowledging his whole life.

😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I always heard Nicole owed drug money, Faye Resnick had other friends killed the same way in the San Fran area and OJ's daughter said that he wasn't one of the men her mom was arguing with. That explains why he had no bruises on his body. As for where I was at the time of the verdict, I was in school watching white teacher cry and my friends black laughing at them. It's amazing how people who never met any of these people were so emotionally involved over this.
Her friend looked just like Nicole. Nicole wasn't the target that other woman was.
@@mamilove7998Nicole was the target of OJ. Don't lie

@@mamilove7998I believe that. Her friend whose name was Faye Resnick, got herself put into rehab very shortly before Nicole and Ron were killed and I believe drug dealers came looking for her ass and Nicole got in the way. OJ has no reason to kill Nicole at all

For me it was always the blood. How did this man damn near decapitate two ppl and not be covered in blood ? The blood in his car was a few drops. The blood in his house was minimal but he just murdered two ppl? Never found a knife or bloody clothes? Never made sense to me.
For me it was also the blood and so much more

I'm here because I wanted to see the first OJ commercial long before hertz. Does anyone remember OJ comparison to a 1970 Chevy in a zero to 60 race?
You know, the commercial seemingly written by folks who look at us as a bunch of John Henry's 😅
@rolandsmartin_Tap_Profile_msg I think it is important that you came out with a different perspective of OJ and his legacy to counter the noise and rehashing to further turnish any of his legacy by all means necessary witnessed on mainstream media still not able to desinguish between OJ and Lee Harvey Oswald.
As to where I'm from, well, that would be Lou-zee-ana. "You can take the man out of Lou-zee-ana, but you can't take Lou-zee-ana out the man." Left there 50 years ago and never looked back.

Excellent segment by all.
Condolences FAM!!!!
The guest just went down a road of trying to retry OJ case. "Even though he was a b league actor he convinced the jury that the glove did not fit"...Mark Furman was portrayed by the defense team as a racist.." Furman said he did not use the n-word, but was recoded saying that word over and over and over. Had to stop watching this one.
Yeah I didn't like his comment . Sound like he was down playing the racism of Furman
@@shaniharris4343The racism was from the jury. Who cares if Furhman said some rackst things. Doesnt change OJ was a wife beater who killed his ex wife. Rest in piss
Saying the n-word isn't illegal. Look at the number of racist black people on social media today
Right smh
Um Furman was racist
Did the glove have a cut where O.J.'s cut was located. I don't remember them saying that in the trial. The glove was small and that was the prosecutes fault for not knowing that O.J. has very large hands. I do believe that O.J. was innocent based on the evidence that was presented.
And those kinds of gloves is not one takes to commit murder
Rest in peace OJ!
Mafia or Cartel!!!!
Great comment as always, Dr. Carr💖
My condolences to his family. However, we must remember O.J. didn’t just run through airports for Hertz, he ran away from the black community. He married a white waitress who was beneath his social status, helped her family become wealthy and became crazily obsessed with the blonde. I cheered a black man’s victory over a system stacked against people of color but I did not cheer for O.J.
The same applies to Tiger Woods. Hopefully, he doesn't get entangled with a murder. He is the current OJ.
what is poc?
May God bless his soul.........
Correction the first reality show was Cops. In 1980. What you gonna do what you gonna do when they come for you!! if you know you know
😂 I remember that. It wasn't as riveting though.
RIP OJ, Always The Juice… The 1st RB To Set The World On Fire
I love OJ! Great guy! RIL OK!😢❤
Also an important correction: The legal case was not the first mainstream reality show, that would be MTV's "The Real World" which premiered in 1992. The O.J. Simpson court case didn't start until 1994.
Thanks Ro for doing this special. It should be mentioned the barriers that O.J.broke as a Black athlete in America that is used as a template for cross-over success for athletes for today.
The unfortunate murder situation is a story that still remains with many unresolved questions, that really became buried with the sensationalism of the court case. It also raised questions about many topics that people are uncomfortable discussing today such as interracial romantic relationships, rich Black athletes with White girlfriends, police corruption, racism, the American legal system, domestic violence and being a wealthy defendant in court.
Thank you Roland! Rest in peace Mr. OJ Simpson
Thank you Dr Carr!

O J SIMPSON R.I.P WE STILL HAVE DEION SANDERS GREAT FOOTBALL 🏈🏈🏈🏈 STAY STRONG 😮😮😮😮😮
Dr. Carr broke it down 💯
Why do everybody forget about Blake( Brettra) he got away with killing his wife
Giant facts
I notice that no one comments about that fact, or how about that wrestler who killed his wife and son before killing himself. Some people use the excuse that he had CTE.
Don't be ridiculous. It's hard to compare that because hardly anyone knows him. No way close to the cultural impact as O.J., do better.
@@TheCableStrainoh please Robert Blake was a well known actor, since he was a kid. He was accused of murder and he got acquitted too. When he croaked he got condolences, and people were praising his acting skills. It's the same with OJ please
@@desireeboone3631well-known, but not on the level of O.J., not even close. O.J. was loved and known by white and black people alike.
OJ Simpson did time Bill Cosby did time will Donald Trump do his time?
RIP one of the best running backs that ever was on the NFL field ❤❤❤❤.
