In a shocking turn of events, Nicole Brown Simpson, the ex-wife of renowned football player O.J.
Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman were mercilessly stabbed to death outside Nicole’s residence in Brentwood, California.
This heinous crime quickly became one of the most sensationalized trials of the century, with O.J.
