Nicole Brown Simpson

Nicole Brown Simpson (née Brown; May 19, 1959 – June 12, 1994) was the second wife of American football player O. J. Simpson. Brown met Simpson in 1977 and they married in 1985, five years after Simpson had retired from professional American football. Their marriage lasted eight years and they had a daughter and a son. On June 12, 1994, Brown was killed outside her Brentwood home, along with her friend, waiter Ron Goldman. Following a controversial and highly publicized criminal trial, Simpson was acquitted of all charges. In a civil lawsuit in 1997, he was found liable for both deaths.
