1. OJ Simpson
Perhaps one of the largest and saddest falls from grace is that of Mr. Simpson – once a heralded football star, sports commentator and film actor. On June 12th, 1994, the bodies of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman, were found brutally slain outside her Brentwood home. Five days later, the LAPD requested that Simpson turn himself in on first degree murder charges; instead, Simpson fled in a white Bronco owned by his friend Al Cowlings and lead police on a long freeway chase that was beamed across the world via helicopter news feeds.
The trial lasted from January 24th to October 3rd, 1995, eventually resulting in a not guilty verdict and Simpson’s freedom. However, like Blake, Simpson was later ordered to pay a multi-million civil judgment to Nicole’s and Ron’s families. Then, on September 13th, 2007, he was arrested again in an unrelated case and ultimately found guilty of robbery, burglary and kidnapping. He is currently serving a 33-year sentence in Nevada and will be eligible for parole on October 2nd, 2017, where he’ll likely have several reality show offers awaiting him if released.
