O.J. Simpson, the former NFL star and actor who was at the centre of one of the most sensational trials in American history, has died at the age of 76 after battling cancer. Simpson, famously acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1995, passed away in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
Simpson's life was known by both legal scandal and athletic success. Before finding success in the NFL (National Football League), he rose to prominence as a college football player and was known as "The Juice" for his exceptional skill on the field. But after his well-reported trial and acquittal on murder charges, his legacy became linked to the legal system.
