O.J. Simpson, the former football star, Hollywood actor and convicted felon, died Wednesday of prostate cancer. He was 76. 

O.J. Simpson won the Heisman Trophy at the University of Southern California and was selected first overall by the Buffalo Bills in the 1969 NFL Draft. 

In Buffalo, he became the first NFL running back to rush for over 2,000 yards, setting a still-NFL record of 143 rushing yards per game. 

Then, he was accused of the brutal knife slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman in 1994.

After a 60-mile, slow-speed chase in a now-infamous White Bronco, he became the center of what would be called "the trial of the century." 

After trying on a leather glove found at the scene, Simpson uttered his only three words of the trial: "They're too small."

His lawyer, Johnnie L. Cochran, told the jury “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit,” and Simpson was found not guilty of the double murder in 1995. 

He was later found civilly liable for the deaths after a separate 1997 trial, but the families of Brown Simpson and Goldman saw very little of the $33.5 million he was ordered to pay them. 

O.J. would end up in prison after being found guilty of the kidnapping and armed robbery of Las Vegas sports memorabilia dealers in 2008. He served nine years in a Nevada prison before being paroled. 

He spent the rest of his life residing in Florida, playing golf and posting videos to Twitter, now X, before dying on Wednesday.
