After a Hall of Fame NFL career, Simpson was dramatically arrested for killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman.
He was acquitted of the double murder but lost a multi-million dollar wrongful death lawsuit to the Goldman and Brown families. He later went to prison for nine years for stealing sports memorabilia at gunpoint.
RIP.
