On June 12, 1994, O.J. Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman were stabbed to death outside her home in Los Angeles. Simpson was arrested and charged with the two murders on June 17, 1994. He pleaded not guilty during his trial, and on October 3, 1995, a jury acquitted him. In a 1997 civil trial decision, Simpson was found liable for the deaths of his ex-wife and Goldman, and he was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages to their families.
