He ran to football fame and made fortunes in movies. His trial for the murder of his former wife and her friend became an inflection point on race in America.
The book about the civil trial, Triumph of Justice, is actually a good read. Among other things it goes over the additional evidence uncovered to help prove he committed the murder. Evidence like photographs of him clearly wearing the shoes whose prints were found at the murder scene. The same shoes he described as “ugly ass” and said he would never wear. He was photographed wearing them in front of thousands of people as he walked across a football field before a game.

We’re talking about a motherfucker who wrote a book about how he did it and titled it “if I did it.”
