After a prolific career in the NFL and collecting a Heisman in 1968 during his years at USC, the football star found himself in the courtroom for one of the most shocking and divisive court cases in American history which helped shape the 1990s and was labeled “The Trial of the Century.”
Simpson would eventually find himself in jail after breaking into a Las Vegas hotel to allegedly recover sports memorabilia that he claimed was stolen from him. He was released from prison in 2017.
Following his release, Simpson made a pledge that his Christian faith would play a greater role moving forward.
