The story of O.J. Simpson plays out like a Lifetime movie. If it weren’t for the failures of prosecution and the systemic racism omnipresent in the Los Angeles Police Department in those days that turned aggrieved jurors against even DNA evidence (made easier by smooth-talking defense attornies and the fact that DNA evidence was brand new), Simpson wouldn’t have made it on our list.
While Simpson was found liable for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in a civil trial and was later locked up for an unrelated crime he got away scot-free with allegedly murdering two people.
Now that he’s free again, will O.J. reaffirm his commitment to finding Nicole’s real killer? Psst, O.J., we think standing in front of a mirror will give you a huge head start!
