Simpson was accused of killing both his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Nicole's friend, Ronald Goldman. As a result O.J. was put up for trial in 1994, and had a lot of evidence against him, but he was never found guilty.]]> 2022-10-24 16:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353907207 bpkeenan https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353915995 O.J. did lose his endorsement with Hertz as their biggest spokesman, but since he was not playing football at the time, O.J. didn't have any sponsors to begin with.]]> 2022-10-24 16:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353915995 bpkeenan https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353922023 O.J. also lost his entire reputation not just as a former athlete but as a person. Lots of people began to hate O.J. for being able to get away with this alleged murder. After the main trial however, O.J. was sued by the family of Ronald Goldman, and as a result lost $33.5 million, of which the family received very little.]]> 2022-10-24 16:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353922023 bpkeenan https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353927353 I think that O.J. supposedly killed his wife because he was known to be an abusive man, and Nicole left him because of this. O.J. was also known to stalk her after the divorce, and eventually I think that he just snapped and killed both his ex-wife and her friend.]]> 2022-10-24 16:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353927353 bpkeenan https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353931391 I think that a better decision for O.J. would've been to not look so liable during the trial, such as driving away in a white Ford Bronco with his friend, Al Cowlings. I also believe that O.J. killed his wife and her friend, so I think that his best choice would have been to not kill at all.]]> 2022-10-24 16:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353931391 bpkeenan https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353939796 Immediately following the verdict of O.J.'s trial, he was hated by many people, but loved by others. A lot of people think that whether they loved or hated O.J. had a lot to do with race, as mainly white people hated O.J. after the trial, but mainly black people were cheering at the end of the trial.]]> 2022-10-24 16:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353939796 bpkeenan https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353944307 Today people tend to think of O.J. as a killer, regardless of race, much unlike the immediate reaction of the people. Based off of polls given to both black and white Americans, people think that O.J. is guilty and did murder his ex-wife and her friend. ]]> 2022-10-24 16:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353944307 bpkeenan https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353953130 I do not think that O.J.'s punishment was fair, because he really got off the hook without any repercussions. O.J. did exhibit lots of behavior that would seem guilty (the car chase), and there was lots of evidence against him, but somehow Johnnie Cochran "proved" O.J. not guilty. I think that O.J. was proved not guilty because of the jury, which was mostly African American, most of the jury had no education past high school(10/12), which if you think about it is the crowd that supported O.J. Simpson.]]> 2022-10-24 16:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353953130 bpkeenan https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353973020 I do think that if an athlete displays unethical behavior on the field, they are more likely to off of the field as well. I think that if an athlete in known for taking shortcuts in the game, they might take shortcuts in their life to, because a person reflects their character everywhere they go. No matter what, a person will always show at least a little bit of their personality everywhere they go, that includes in a sports game. For example, if an athlete is violent on the field, they are probably an angry or violent person.]]> 2022-10-24 16:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bpkeenan/s29ge5ghs507ctp6/wish/2353973020
