IN PICTURES: OJ Simpson and the 'trial of the century'
OJ Simpson met Nicole Brown while she was a waitress at the trendy Beverly Hills restaurant, The Daisy.
They met when he dined there and they quickly became inseparable.
They married in 1985, had two children, Sydney and Justin, and divorced in 1992.
Following the June 1994 knife slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles, OJ Simpson was part of an infamous car chase.
The Bronco chase caused one television station to rearrange coverage of an NBA Finals game, featuring the chase on the main screen and the game as an inset.
Nearly every network was broadcasting the chase as it headed toward the cemetery where his ex-wife was buried, then wound back to Simpson's house.
Cameras in helicopters showed Simpson holding a gun to his head as his friend Al Cowlings drove.
Because the chase was so slow, huge crowds had time to gather on overpasses, where they cheered wildly when he drove by.
OJ Simpson was later charged with the double murder.
