On April 11, NFL MVP and Heisman Award Winner O.J. Simpson passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer.
Despite having a decorated NFL career, O.J.’s rap sheet is just as decorated. In 1994, the former Buffalo Bills star was charged with murdering his ex-wife Nicole Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.
Marcia Clark Seen For First Time Since O.J.’s Passing
The case made national headlines, including a nationally televised high-speed chase with the police leading to his arrest. The not-guilty verdict was one of the most controversial decisions in American history.
Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor in the notorious trial was recently spotted out for the first time since his passing.

“The lead prosecutor in OJ Simpson’s murder trial has been seen for the first time since the NFL star’s death last week,” the Daily Mail wrote.
“DailyMail.com spotted Marcia Clark, 70, taking out the trash outside of her Los Angeles home on Thursday. Gone were her signature permed curls and cropped haircut of the ’90s, and instead Clark sported straight hair that fell past her shoulder.”
The outlet also described Clark’s look as “unrecognizable,” compared to how she looked during the time of the trial.
“Wearing a black sweatshirt, sweatpants, and a fleece, the former California prosecutor was unrecognizable from her days during the trial that thrust her into the national spotlight,” they added.
Simpson Recalls Meeting Carl Weathers
Earlier this year actor Carl Weathers, most known for his role as Apollo Creed in the Rocky series, passed away. Weathers built his reputation as an actor. But before he made his way to the big screen, Weathers had a brief stint in the NFL. Before his passing O.J. recalled his first time meeting Carl Weathers.
“I first met Carl on the football field. I think I was a rookie and we were playing in Oakland and it was during warm-ups. He ran up to me, I guess he was playing linebacker for the Raiders at the time, trying to make the team. He told me he was an actor and you know, wanted to talk to me about it,” Simpson said.
“A terrific guy. A very, very nice guy and a very talented actor, I might add.”
