O.J. Simpson passed away on April 10, 2024, at the age of 76, after a battle with cancer, his family announced.
Twenty-eight years ago, on October 3, 1995, nearly 150 million people watched the live verdict as Simpson was found not guilty of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Lyle Goldman. The shocking verdict may have brought an end to the nearly-year-long trial, which was marked by incessant media coverage that gripped the nation, but the case still casts a long shadow.
The trial made bona fide celebrities of some of the peripheral characters in Simpson's life, like Kris Jenner, and has been the subject of numerous documentaries and dramatizations, like The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story. In the nearly three decades since the trial, several members of the Dream Team have passed away, while other key lawyers have left the legal profession entirely. Some, like Alan Dershowitz, remain fixtures in the political scene. Simpson himself later did jail time for armed robbery.
Here, take a look at the major players from "The Trial of the Century" and where they are now.
