OJ simpson is an american football star. He played for the bufflo bills. He was charged with murdering his estranged wife and a friend from a restaurant her, the childen ,and family members had dinner at that night. It seems to be largely the publics oppinion that he got away with murder , as they weren't able to convict him of murder, as there were many complications and errors in the trial. As well many mistakes were made by the police and forensic lab. Although he wasn't convicted of murder, he was found liable in a civil court and order to pay both victims family millions of dollars. To this date he has not paid them one cent. He is very arragant and has in general made a lot of people dislike him and believe he got away with murder. In the past few weeks it was in the news that he was going to write a book basically giving a confession . In the united states you can't be charged or convicted twice for the same crime. So again he was going to try to proffit from the murder of the mother of his two children. Check him out under major crimes on the net or try googling his name . Hope this helps some
