Despite his stellar career as an American football running back, O. J. Simpson will be mostly remembered for being the defendant in the “trial of the century”. Accused of murdering his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and her boyfriend, Ron Goldman, he vehemently denied any wrongdoing and was acquitted of the charges. However, he ultimately spent nine years in prison for armed robbery and kidnapping. Since his release, he has been very vocal on various issues on social media. He had turbulent relationships with both his parents and does not remember the dates of their deaths. Following his retirement from football, he became an actor and broadcaster. Here are some memorable quotes by O. J. Simpson on God, life, belief, fight, respect, crime and death.
