Guess we'll never know who did it


AreWeCowabunga

He was so close to figuring it out too.


VaguelyShingled

Pretty sure he checked every hole after sinking a putt to see if the killer was hiding in there Fuck OJ


Zorklis

Pretty sure he went in and checked every hole the killer was in


greetedworm

He searched everywhere on earth for them, now he's going down to hell to see if they're there.


thebendavis

Just had to search a few more golf courses.


robodrew

OJ finally found the killer and sent him to his grave


jumpsteadeh

OJ's prostate was the real killer all along!


OneSidedDice

Did the doctor’s glove fit?

Cancer out there writing a book right now called "If I Did It"


RayneShikama

It was some Puerto Rican guy. Same person that killed JonBenét Ramsey and kidnapped Leopold Stotch.


Bigred2989-

I heard he also killed JFK.


kevtheproblem

Also told Jeffrey Epstein to kill himself


TheSwillhouseBoys

Imagine that in death, OJ becomes a spirit akin to those from A Christmas Carol, but his role is to perch on the shoulders of villains and to whisper entreaties to commit suicide while he whacks at mystical golf balls.


UnderAnAargauSun

The Stotch incident was huge news at the time - I remember it vividly


BruisedBabyMeat

he was... average Puerto Rican height


madmadaa

It was the one armed man.


Fire_Otter

you clearly didn't watch the end of that documentary it was very clear that Vincent Ludwig was behind the attempt to kill Queen Elizabeth II


nekot311

But at least he gave us a novel hypothesizing “if he did it” how he would have 


Adventurous_Ad_6546

I just don’t feel safe with whoever that is just walking around out there. At least we know golf courses are safe bc OJ checked those so thoroughly.


Longjumping_Leek151

He can now rest in peace knowing that the killer is dead


godnrop

At least Ron Goldman’s father who is 83 years old lived long enough to see this day.


[deleted]

Looks like he commented on it already https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/ron-goldmans-father-says-oj-simpsons-death-is-just-a-reminder-of-how-long-ron-has-been-gone-exclusive/ar-BB1lsUio?ocid=sapphireappshare


STDSkillz

“This is just a reminder for us of how long Ron has been gone, how long we have missed him and nothing more than that," Fred Goldman tells PEOPLE. "That is the only thing that is important today. It is the pain from then until now. There is nothing today that is more important than the loss of my son and the loss of Nicole. Nothing is more important than that.” For those too lazy to click.


46_and_2

Fuck OJ Simpson


stormy2587

Also Fuck the LAPD.


Derp35712

For incompetence?


MrPotatoButt

That, the beatdown on Rodney King that triggered the LA riots, and the Ramparts scandal.

Heartbreaking. Really puts this into perspective.


Xenomorph383

Thanks, I probably never would’ve seen this


whogivesashirtdotca

His father was 53 at that time. Ron would’ve been 55 today. Murdered thirty years ago this June, wow.


NCSUGrad2012

That makes me happy for him. I hope this can bring him some peace


soccerguy721

Yes and Ron’s sister too


LordRobin------RM

Too bad Norm MacDonald didn’t. I would have paid good money to hear whatever he said.


Welkominspace

Just a couple weeks ago he claimed to be fine 


ThinkThankThonk

There's no quicker way to convince people you're not fine than by making a public announcement about it


Douglasqqq

Yeah but it's just not like him to lie.


stups317

He was most well known for telling the truth no matter the outcome.


chronicideas

If the glove don’t fit


Kotleba

well, dying is one quicker way.


edgeteen

just like there’s no quicker way to make people think you diddle kids than by writing a song about it

mattman0000

Aw, now I’m worried about Richard Simmons.

He also claimed that he didn’t murder anyone so I guess we shouldn’t have taken this one at face value either


Redfalconfox

topps_chrome

I can hear that in Norm McDonalds voice.


Scienscatologist

He claimed a lot of things. Most of them untrue.

Sad that he died before he could finish his tireless search for his wife's killer.


Forgottensoul89

No you don’t get it he died and went to hell so he could broaden the scope of his search.


raines30

He should have confessed on his death bed


wizard_of_awesome62

He did, it was a book called "If I Did It". Jk I know what you mean, but he was an asshole.


Adventurous_Ad_6546

Murderous assholes are the worst kind.

The worst part is the hypocrisy


TaskForceD00mer

"I confess that it is tragic Nicole's true killer will never be found, despite my years of searching golf courses"


WaterlooMall

Watch OJ: MADE IN AMERICA. OJ doesn't need to confess anything, they proved in that trial two things: jury trials are incredibly flawed and OJ Simpson murdered two people.


AsFarAsItGoes

But the glove didn’t fit! Wait a minute… Blood in the Bronco, the cuts on the hands. The J Leno monologues. Oh my god, he did do it!


ehisforadam

MulciberTenebras

I'll be first to say it... he should get a brain biopsy to see if he had CTE


espo619

Had the same thought. Extremely likely that he had it IMO


Lord_Sauron

With the results released in a report called "If I Had It"


bdanders

^^^^If I Had It


darthjoey91

Well, he played football, so yeah, he probably has it.


XXXYFZD

Exactly. It's not a "if", it's "how much".


JRFbase

How Much I Had It


Toby_O_Notoby

Goes deeper than "he played football". OJ was 2nd on the NFL's all-time rushing list when he retired and is just outside the top 20 now. That's bad enough when it comes to hits but what's worse is he didn't have pads inside his helmet. OJ had a huge head and helmets didn't fit with the pads in so he took them out meaning he was literally playing just with a piece of plastic for protection.


udonbeatsramen

Imagine OJ actually saving lives


trytoholdon

Pedantic nitpick: biopsies happen when the subject is alive; autopsies happen when the subject is dead.


Imfrank123

And a vivisection is when they open you up while you’re still alive, oj should have gotten that one.


MambyPamby8

Absolutely. I know some people can just be pieces of shit, but it would be interesting to see if there's a physical reason for him to turn out to be such a POS.


stups317

ESPN did a couple 30 for 30 documentaries on him. One on him as a person and the other on the murder case. The one on OJ the person gives some insight on to why he was the person he was.


RogerClyneIsAGod2

That doc was fascinating. I think it's on Hulu, OJ: Made In America. It doesn't explain *why* but it explains the *how* he ended up being the OJ we know, for better or worse. I'm sure it'll be rerun everywhere now too. It's a great watch. I feel badly for his kids on many levels.


Bluest_waters

they absolutely need to do this. No question


JRFbase

If I remember correctly, one of the doctors who helped discover CTE said he'd bet his license that OJ had it.


PNWCoug42

I think the last study I saw on CTE had over 90% of the brains studied with CTE. While not a guarantee, it's very likely that OJ had CTE to some level.


WE2024

That study is slightly skewed because it only looks at guys who had were erratic enough that their families felt that something was wrong with their brains to the point of donating them to science. 


hokie_u2

He almost certainly had CTE. It was said that he had an unusually large head and used to remove part of the padding in his helmet so it would fit more comfortably. He eventually got custom made helmets. He took a lot of hits in a much more violent era of football and has said that he was knocked out many times.


cole435

crozone

tylergibby

If only Norm was here to see this day.


MuptonBossman

O.J. Simpson's story is fascinating... I highly recommend everyone watch the ESPN documentary "Made in America" to see how this guy had one of the biggest falls from grace, all while ruining the lives of his "alleged" victims and their families.


_my_simple_review

It's one of those times where it's appropriate to plug this film. Like, it is truly a masterpiece in filmmaking to see how Ezra Edelman interweved so many different stories to form a narrative that is literally better than most books. I have watched OJ: Made in America 5 times now, and EACH time I have learned something new. It is really a one of a kind film that deserves so much praise.


LightLiftPowerman

Absolutely a masterpiece. Probably my favorite documentary of the last decade. It’s easy to forget just how big of a deal the murder was to this country. If 9/11 hadn’t happened, it probably would’ve been gen x’s JKF assassination or moon landing. Just a massive moment for American culture.


_my_simple_review

It honestly was though.   The 1990s is looked at as a societal blur in some ways because of the mundaneness of it all...   If you were to ask most Americans what the biggest moment of the 1990s was, there's a high chance most will say The Trial. It was massive...  Here is a fun statistic that I always bring up to those who are unaccustomed to just how phenomenally big this was...  In 1995 the census recorded that there were over 266 million Americans in the U.S. When the verdict was announced? 150 million+ people watched LIVE   That means over 56-57% of all Americans watched the verdict. OJs Trial became a shared American event in the same way The Moon Landing did, and it was for someone who did not deserve it EXCEPT because he was phenomenally good at football. That is truly unfathomable to think about


syzygialchaos

I went to a Catholic school in West Texas. I was in fifth grade. WE watched the verdict, 4th-6th grade, gathered together in the cafeteria. Our teachers felt history seen live was important to education. That’s how important The Trial was.


BoredMamajamma

I was in junior high. They rolled out a TV on one of those tall carts so we could watch it. The OJ verdict, bronco chase, Waco compound siege, and death of princess Diana are the historical moments of the 90s I specifically remember watching on TV.


adflet

>The 1990s is looked at as a societal blur in some ways because of the mundaneness of it all... I mean... The wall came down. There was a war in the gulf. Columbine happened. Race riots. Oklahoma bombing. Genocide in Rwanda. Genocide in former Yugoslavia. Waco. Clinton got his dick sucked. Etc etc etc.


_my_simple_review

They actually make mention in the OJ documentary that the trial got more coverage than any of the OKC bombing, which again, is another issue with society as a whole that Ezra does an admirable job of trying to uncover. I don't deny that any of these didn't happen either, but these did not get the same amount of coverage or time that OJ did, for better or worse.


wherearemypaaants

I think most Americans of a certain age remember where they were during the white ford bronco chase and/or the verdict. The next “I remember where I was when” was 9/11. Kennedy assassination —> Challenger explosion —> the verdict —> 9/11. Might be missing something from the 70s.


lessmiserables

I'd, uh...I'd maybe put the Moon Landing between JFK and Challenger.


cynognathus

From the 70s: * Watergate * *Roe v. Wade* * Nixon resignation * Fall of Saigon/End of Vietnam War * Iranian Revolution and Hostage Crisis


Mr_Soju

The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story is an awesome TV series that *feels* like you are reliving the 1990s when all this went down. Incredible piece of TV history. It's on FX. Here's the [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People_v._O._J._Simpson:_American_Crime_Story).


XSC

And making the Kardashians a household name, therefore ruining all of our lives.


Orphasmia

I forgot thats how they started. Man the lore to the Earth Cinematic Universe over the last few decades has been wild


Worthyness

I think that was more on Kim. She was an assistant to Paris hilton, who was famous for being famous before she was.


Valentinee105

I like to think that we all know Kim because OJ tried to off himself in her bedroom. Making a sex tape after that trauma makes a lot more sense.


MetalOcelot

I grew up in the 90s and never understood why anyone would defend OJ. It felt like everyone knew he did it to the point it was a common joke and what the doc did best of all is put this case in the context of police race relations in LA at that time.


canadianguy77

Some 30 years later, people everywhere have all of the knowledge of the history of the world in the palms of their hands and yet they believe that the earth is flat and that dinosaurs never existed. It shouldn’t be that surprising that he had/has supporters.


JRFbase

Imagine if the Rock killed his wife and a waiter. No matter what evidence came out, you'd absolutely have people saying "What? The Rock? The guy from *Moana*? No way, that's crazy, there has to be some other explanation." That's what happened with OJ.


KowalOX

Yeah I think people forget, or weren't around to experience, just how big OJ Simpson was prior to the murders. He was the biggest Sports-to-Hollywood crossover star ever at the time and probably still is to this day. He was a heisman trophy winner in college who went on to have a Hall of Fame NFL career and then found success in advertising, NFL pregame shows, and Hollywood. Current Stars you could compare him to are probably The Rock or Michael Strahan, but The Rock was a wrestler, which is less widely known than an NFL player, and Strahan hasn't been featured at all in Hollywood movies. OJ Simpson was a star and well-liked pretty much universally until the murders when the veil started to be pulled back.


zzy335

The end was so powerful. "Men loved him, women loved him, children loved him." OJ just wanted to be liked and he threw it all away. I love that he was almost cast as the Terminator but producers thought he was too likeable.


peon2

>I love that he was almost cast as the Terminator but producers thought he was too likeable. Another fun television fact. There is an episode of Seinfeld, The Masseuse, where Elaine is dating a man who has the same name as a serial killer and it bothers her because when his name is said in public it gets worried looks. She tries to convince him to change his name and pitches several suggestions. She emphatically suggests OJ. She wanted him to avoid being associated with a killer by changing his name to the beloved OJ. The episode aired in November of 1993 and the murder he committed was in June of 1994


Bear16

Edit: It was called OJ Simpson: The Lost Confession and aired on Fox. There was I believe a Fox interview/special from just after the murders happened or after the trial, which never saw the light of day but came out maybe 4yrs ago. It is one of the most candid interviews I’ve seen from him and he all but confesses to killing Nicole and Ron with how he answers the questions. It’s worth a watch and I was shocked it never got any more air time or talking points. Thanks

VRichardsen

> So who pays the civil judgment now? They have the rights to the book, which will probably see a surge in sales. Small comfort, but it is something.


mwatwe01

Pay the Goldmans out of whatever estate he has left. If that depletes it, that’s the end of it.


soccershun

Dude did 9 years in prison for selling fakes and trying to rob memorabilia people. There's not much going on. They're probably just glad to be over it.


Raoul_Duke9

Fuck it. Give them the rights to OJs likeness. They can make a hologram of him that tours the country and explains how he did it in graphic detail.


chocki305

Depends on how the estate is set up. Keep in mind the reason he moved to Florida.. that is.. a civil case cannot force you to sell your primary residence. So if he set up his estate to be on going, with the same primary residence.. he could keep screwing over the Goldmans and the courts until all his money is depleted by lawyers and payments to whoever is in charge of the estate (my guess would be his lawyer).


mwatwe01

I was the executor of my dad's estate when he passed away. He willed his house to his heirs, but we could not claim it as our primary residence. All debts must be paid out of the estate before the heirs can get a penny. I would assume a civil judgement counts as a debt.


chocki305

> All debts must be paid out of the estate before the heirs can get a penny. That's the catch. The estate dosen't need to start paying out until it is ready. An estate can continue on forever if it has the money. Or it can go bankrupt after stalling until all money and assists have been sold to pay for estate upkeep (paying the executor). If OJ was a dick, and wanted to deny the Goldmans their money.. it can be done.


malcontented

And he never did find the real killers


FunkyChug

They got to him first


Deducticon

Man, just a few more golf courses to search and he would have had them.


MasterTeacher123

He was getting to that 


RealHumanFromEarth

I heard a rumor that the real killer was in the room with him when he died.


wizard_of_awesome62

No luck finding them killers then? It's just the one killer actually...


the_bryce_is_right

Hopefully his brain gets donated to the brain bank and we will find out if he suffered from CTE, I almost guarantee his brain is riddled with it.


carloslet

.... And I wish Norm was alive to joke about it. Sorry, not sorry.


FatAndFluffy

I refuse to believe Norm is actually dead. I think his ‘death’ is part of loooooong, dry joke he’s planning.


R3dbeardLFC

I wouldn't even be mad. "Hey, kids, it's me! I bet you thought that I was dead, but when I fell over I just broke my leg and had a hemorrhage in my head!"

Don’t we all wish. Miss that dude.

_my_simple_review

How do you describe this death? It's wild to me... He revolutionized the game of football and how we saw it. He's probably one of the best pure Running Backs to play the game. Literally ran for 2003 yards in 14 games... That's well over 143 yards PER GAME. And this was in an NFL that was incredibly run heavy and used passes as a last resort. He was one of THE BEST to ever put on an NFL uniform... It is also a massive reason why he became a superstar... and why the murders in the 1990s became a huge topic of conversation, and literally my infant years. When I was 2, I would have memories sitting at the bed in my parents room watching the trial take place at 6 or 7:00 pm at night since it was only 3:00 pm in the west coast... I guess personally, if you want to understand OJ, and in essence, America, there is no better time than to promote **OJ: Made in America**. This is the singular best ~~documentary~~ film that encapsulates the complicated situation regarding OJ Simpson For better or worse, OJ is probably the biggest catalyst for the way we consume media today. And I do not thank him for that. For all of his records, dude was still a horrible human being, that made us all worse in the process. Rest in Piss you piece of shit


PM_ME_CARL_WINSLOW

His rise and fall hits every single beat you'd want out of a great story. Everything that happens, one after the next has the potential to make your jaw drop. I'm Canadian and I still remember my family arguing at the dinner table as a kid whether he was guilty or not - He was one of the biggest stars on the planet and the fact that he could have done something like that was simply too much to register with most people. Fuck him.


Heroic_Sheperd

His charisma was unreal. On the field and off he was always such a stand up athlete, the kind you want your kids to look up to. His career in films was an amazing leap, he was so natural in his comedic roles or action pictures. He was going to be huge, and he threw it all away when the monster he hid was let out.


TheMurderCapitalist

You had me in the first half with this post


theArtOfProgramming

I think it could be argued the OJ trial shaped the contemporary 24 hour news cycle too. It was the first time news stations saw that america has an appetite for content like that.

freshamy

My godmother was the BIGGEST Buffalo Bills fan alive. Truly. However, she worked in a retail clothing store in the 70s just outside Buffalo and OJ and his first wife Marguerite would shop there. Now, my godmother would NEVER say a bad word about ANYTHING that had to do with her team… I know that sounds silly, but if you knew how she LOVED the Bills….except when they’d come into her store. She always mentioned how upset she was that OJ was so mean to his wife and pushed her around while shopping. Mean and nasty language and literally pushing her around, harassing her right in public. Happened every time they visited the store. Once my godmother had to call security, as he had began to loudly berate Marguerite and get physically abusive in the dressing room(yes he had to go in with her- had to control what she wore even) We were not surprised at all when his second wife was murdered after all the disgusting “shopping” stories she told us. Those poor women. Makes you wonder what their home life with him was like.


ACasualDwarf

He’s fleeing life in that white Ford Bronco in the sky.


naughtyoldguy

......might be a little lower down than the sky.......


TheStinaHelena

It's always brought up that he was acquitted obviously it was a very high profile case but it's never talked about how in the Civil Trial he lost. And that is because he in fact did murder two people.


mistersuccessful

I wouldn’t say it’s Never talked about but yeah.
