Making of a monster: A drag queen father who died of エイズ... a daughter who 溺死するd 老年の two... and years of 残虐な 暴力／激しさ against women - TOM LEONARD 明らかにする／漏らすs the dark truths behind OJ Simpson's murderous 激怒（する）
He gave the world the ‘裁判，公判 of the Century’ and a police chase that left Hollywood’s 見解／翻訳／版s in the shade. And OJ Simpson never escaped the notoriety that most Americans felt he richly deserved.
His family 発表するd that the former American football 星／主役にする, actor and jailbird had died 老年の 76 of 癌 on Wednesday ‘surrounded by his children and grandchildren’ at his home in Las Vegas.
It 申し込む／申し出d little satisfaction to those who believe he should have died surrounded by 刑務所，拘置所 guards watching his 死刑執行 for the 残虐な stabbings in 1994 in Los Angeles that left his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman dead.
His 裁判，公判 ― and shocking 無罪放免 ― by a 大多数 黒人／ボイコット 陪審／陪審員団 captivated America, 製図／抽選 one of the biggest audiences in TV history. It 報道によれば made Simpson, after Princess Diana, the most famous person in the world. He was later 設立する liable for their deaths in a civil 裁判，公判 brought by the 犠牲者s’ families and ordered to 支払う／賃金 $33.5 million in 損害賠償金, although he hardly stumped up any of it.
Instead he moved to Florida, where after struggling to 対処する with his pariah status he turned to 罪，犯罪?and 結局 served a 刑務所，拘置所 宣告，判決 for kidnapping and 武装した 強盗.

OJ Simpson was 設立する liable in 民事裁判所 for $33.5 million for the 殺人s of Ron Goldman and ex-wife Nicole Simpson in 1997?
His family 発表するd yesterday that the former American football 星／主役にする, actor and jailbird had died 老年の 76 of 癌 on Wednesday
In 2006, he 構内／化合物d the fury that many felt over his ac quittal ― one that ignored a mountain of 証拠 ― by 令状ing a 調書をとる／予約する, If I Did It: 自白s Of The 殺し屋. にもかかわらず （人命などを）奪う，主張するing to be a ‘hypothetical account’ of the 殺人s he 否定するd, it appeared to be a shameless 自白 of his 罪，犯罪s.
As for his health, it seems Simpson remained a liar until the bitter end. In February, he 否定するd a 報告（する）／憶測 by a 地元の news 駅／配置する in Las Vegas that he’d been 診断するd with prostate 癌 and was を受けるing chemotherapy, まっただ中に 噂するs that he had entered hospice care. He even filmed a ビデオ inside his car in which he laughed and said: ‘No, I’m not even in the hospital. I don’t know who put that out there.’
News of his death 必然的に took Americans 支援する to the 中央の-1990s and a 裁判，公判 of one of the country’s biggest 黒人／ボイコット 星／主役にするs for 殺人，大当り two white people that was 支配するd by the 問題／発行する of race.
Simpson was 設立する not 有罪の に引き続いて one of the longest 裁判，公判s in US 合法的な history by a three-４半期/4分の1s 黒人／ボイコット 陪審／陪審員団 drawn from a community seething over the 無罪放免 of LA police officers 伴う／関わるd in the savage （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing in 1991 of an African-American, Rodney King.
While a large 大多数 of white Americans has always believed Simpson was 有罪の, 69 パーセント of 黒人／ボイコット Americans considered OJ an innocent 犠牲者 of 人種差別主義 at the time. Even today, 投票s show 概略で half still believe that.
His 抱擁する 人気 as a 黒人／ボイコット 役割 model ― who seemed to have transcended America’s racial divide ― goes some way to explaining the hugely contrasting 態度s に向かって him.
The child of a broken home, he grew up on a grim 住宅 事業／計画（する） in San Francisco, so poor that he developed rickets and had to wear steel を締めるs on his skinny 脚s. His father was 報道によれば a 井戸／弁護士席-known drag queen who later 発表するd he was gay and died from エイズ.
In an astonishing 逆転 of fortune, Simpson went from 哀れな beginnings to becoming one of the country’s most celebrated American football players.
In 1973, when he was a 星／主役にする of the Buffalo 法案s team, he was 指名するd the NFL’s most 価値のある player. ‘All my life I’ve been a 走者,’ he 誇るd ― prophetically ― two years later.

He 補足（する）d his fortune as an actor in Hollywood films such as The 非常に高い Inferno and Capricorn One, TV shows and in 商業のs, 同様に as lucrative 後援 取引，協定s that played on his 明らかな personability.
However, his 私的な life was いっそう少なく glittering ― he had three children with Marguerite, the high school sweetheart who became his first wife. The youngest, a daughter, 溺死するd in the family’s swimming pool 老年の just two years old.
While still married to Marguerite, he met the 素晴らしい Nicole Simpson in 1977 when she was waitressing in a Beverly Hills nightclub and they started an 事件／事情／状勢. He 離婚d Marguerite, and married Nicole in 1985, five years after he’d retired from professional football. The marriage lasted only seven years ― during which time they had two children.
Simpson complained of his jealous 激怒（する）s and 繰り返して called police to say he had 攻撃する，衝突する her. After a 特に serious 出来事/事件 on New Year’s Day 1989, she was 設立する 不正に beaten and half-naked, hiding in the bushes outside their home and sobbing that he was going to kill her.
Such was his celebrity that Simpson, though 罪人／有罪を宣告するd of spousal 乱用, was let off with a 罰金 and 保護監察. The violent 対決s continued even after they 離婚d in 1992.
Two years later, on June 12, 1994, Ms Simpson ― then 35 ― and her friend Mr Goldman, 25, were attacked outside her home. She was almost decapitated with a knife while Mr Goldman was also savagely stabbed.
The 殺人 武器 was never 設立する, but the police discovered a 血まみれのd ゴルフing glove ― Simpson, 46, was a keen golfer ― at the scene and さまざまな pieces of 証拠 such as hair, 血 and 繊維s that pointed 捜査官／調査官s に向かって Ms Simpson’s 悪名高くも combustible ex-husband.

Police also 設立する 血 on his car and discovered a glove ― also covered in 血 ― in his home that matched the one 設立する at the scene. Simpson …に出席するd his ex-wife’s funeral with their two young children, but five days later was 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d with the 殺人s.
He went on the run in his white Ford Bronco SUV, a friend and ex-team-mate 指名するd Al Cowlings 運動ing as Simpson sat in the 支援する, pointing a gun at his 長，率いる and 公約するing he would commit 自殺.
The painfully slow, 60-mile chase along the 主要道路s of southern California that 続いて起こるd as he was followed by a 軍用車隊 of police cars was famously 逮捕（する）d from above by news ヘリコプターs.
TV 網状組織s cancelled their usual prime time programming as more than 95 million Americans tuned in to follow the 90-minute 演劇. 主要道路 橋（渡しをする）s were （人が）群がるd with 観客s who turned out to watch the cavalcade. No 試みる／企てる was made to stop Simpson’s car and he 結局 returned home, where he was 逮捕（する）d.
His eleven-month 裁判，公判 ran from November 1994 to October 1995 and had not only the US but the wider world agog as Simpson 爆撃するd out on a ‘dream team’ of high-力／強力にするd lawyers, の中で them his 弁護 弁護士／代理人／検事 Robert Kardashian and Johnnie 物陰／風下 Cochran ― who became celebrities in their own 権利.
He needed them. 検察官，検事s had 説得力のある 証拠 linking everything, from 血 and hair 立ち往生させるs to shoe prints and carpet threads 設立する at the 罪，犯罪 scene, to either Simpson or his home. デオキシリボ核酸 実験（する）s 確認するd that the 血まみれの ゴルフ glove 設立する at his home matched the one left at the 罪，犯罪 scene. 検察官，検事s 現在のd a 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of 62 出来事/事件s in which Simpson had been 恐らく abusive に向かって his ex-wife.

The 弁護, however, played ひどく on this 存在 a 人種上 動機づけるd 起訴 and was able to bring up the history of 人種差別主義者 発言／述べるs o f one of the police 捜査官／調査官s, 示す Fuhrman. It argued ― without proof ― that the 探偵，刑事 had 工場／植物d the second glove.
It also 現れるd that photo 証拠 had been lost, while デオキシリボ核酸 had been collected and 蓄える／店d improperly. Police 認める they had entered Simpson’s home and 設立する the 行方不明の ゴルフ glove without a 家宅捜査令状.
Simpson’s team were also helped immeasurably when, asked by the 起訴 to try on the ゴルフ gloves, Simpson struggled to do so as they were 明らかに too small.
‘If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit,’ 弁護 lawyer Cochran memorably told the 陪審／陪審員団.
And they did, 審議する／熟考するing for only three hours before the 裁判，公判 ended with a 判決 of not 有罪の. The 判決 was so 熱望して 心配するd that 大統領 Clinton left the Oval Office to watch it with his 長官s. Simpson celebrated by throwing a party at his mansion where he and guests got through 40 事例／患者s of シャンペン酒.
‘I don’t think most of America believes I did it,’ he said a week later. ‘I’ve gotten thousands of letters and 電報電信s from people supporting me.’
After losing the civil 訴訟 in 1997, he moved in 2000 with his children to Florida, where 明言する／公表する 法律 妨げるd his home and 年金 income 存在 掴むd to 支払う／賃金 for the $33.5 million 損害賠償金. Simpson settled into 早期に 退職, playing ゴルフ and living off a 年金 概算の at around $400,000 a year.
But he didn’t escape その上の 論争. In 2006, he was 告訴するd by Fred Goldman, the father of Ronald Goldman, who argued the 調書をとる／予約する and TV 取引，協定 for his ‘hypothetical’ 殺人 explanation (肩書を与えるd ‘If I Did It’), which （機の）カム with a $1 million 前進する, cheated the families out of 損害賠償金 they were 借りがあるd.

In 2008, he was in 法廷，裁判所 again. This time, he was 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d with 主要な five 知識s, most of them 罪人／有罪を宣告するd 犯罪のs and two 武装した with guns, to steal sports memorabilia from two 売買業者s.
Simpson （人命などを）奪う，主張するd he was only 回復するing items stolen from him but a 陪審／陪審員団 罪人／有罪を宣告するd him of 武装した robber y, 誘拐する and other 罪，犯罪s after two of his 共犯者s 証言するd he’d told them to bring guns.
By then 61, he served nine years in a remote 刑務所，拘置所 in northern Nevada, 簡潔に becoming the gym 管理人. 解放する／自由なd on 仮釈放（する） in 2017, he returned to Florida but was only 完全に 解放する／自由な of 制限s on his movement in 2021. He then moved to Las Vegas where he lived in the country-club home of a rich friend.
But he never escaped the notoriety of that 二塁打 殺人. Some 50 調書をとる／予約するs have been written about the スキャンダル and in 2016 alone, the story was retold in two TV shows ― a dramatization of the 裁判，公判 in 'The People v. O.J. Simpson, and O.J.: Made In America', a five-part 文書の series.
Some believe that, like other former American Football 退役軍人s, Simpson’s violent 傾向s were rooted in brain 損失 he might have received while playing.
He certainly seemed to think he had radically changed over time. On the day he fled 逮捕（する） in his Ford Bronco, he left a handwritten letter at home in which he said he loved Ms Simpson and hadn’t killed her. ‘Don’t feel sorry for me,’ he wrote. ‘I’ve had a 広大な／多数の／重要な life, 広大な／多数の／重要な friends. Please think of the real O.J. and not this lost person.’
Few will 嘆く／悼む his passing ― and certainly not the many fellow African-Americans whose （民事の）告訴s of 人種差別主義 in the US 司法（官） system always 危険d 存在 met by the rejoinder of Simpson’s astonishing 無罪放免.
