Simpson, who had children with ex-wife Marguerite Whitley, married Nicole Brown in 1985. On the night of June 12, 1994, Brown Simpson and her family had dinner at a Los Angeles restaurant. Ron Goldman, a waiter at that restaurant, went to Brown Simpson's home that night to return glasses her mother had left behind.
Around midnight, Brown Simpson and Goldman were found stabbed to death at Brown Simpson's home. Prosecutors also pointed to blood from the crime scene found in Simpson's car and home, and the fact that he was unaccounted for for more than an hour on the night of the killings. During the trial, the prosecution asked Simpson to put on gloves believed to have been worn by the killer, but they didn't appear to fit properly.
In 2008, Simpson was found guilty in the botched robbery and sentenced to up to 33 years in prison.
