WEB Simpson, the controversial NFL player who was acquitted of the 1994 murders of his ex-wife and Goldman in Los Angeles, has died Wednesday at the age of 76 due to prostate cancer, his family announced.
Simpson, who played for the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers, was accused of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994. He was acquitted of the charges in 1995, but was later found liable for their deaths in a civil trial.
Simpson's death was met with mixed reactions. Some expressed sympathy for his family, while others criticized his actions and the way he lived his life.
Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, said in a statement that he was "deeply saddened" by Simpson's death, but that it also brought up "a lot of complicated emotions." He said that he would never forget the pain that Simpson caused his family, but that he hoped that Simpson had found peace in his final days.
Alan Dershowitz, Simpson's former lawyer, said that he was "very saddened" by Simpson's death. He said that Simpson was a "complex and flawed man," but that he did not believe that he was a murderer.
Simpson's death is a reminder of the tragic events that unfolded in 1994. It is also a reminder of the power of forgiveness and the importance of moving on from the past.
