OJ Simpson, the former American football star, actor and notorious suspected double murderer, has died of cancer at 76, his family said in a statement on Thursday. […]
Simpson’s death was announced on X, formerly Twitter, in a simple message from his family: “On April 10th, our father, Orenthal James Simpson, succumbed to his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace,” the statement said.
Simpson “died without penance”, attorneys for Goldman’s family said on Thursday in a brief statement.
Of course he did. Whether or not he actually did those murders (but he almost certainly did; weird how no one else has been seriously offered as an alternative, and one of the people who was suggested as the real killer allegedly said Simpson hired him to do it, so that still didn’t let me off the hook), he still wasn’t a good guy, and he proved it with that fucking If I Did It book. Evidently he was less than contrite after that time he did go to jail years later too when his guilt was rather more obvious. Prostate cancer got him in the end, and somehow I can’t even feel sorry for him on that account.
