Nicole Brown Simpson was the ex-wife of former professional American football player O. J. Simpson, to whom she was married from 1985 to 1992, and the mother of their two children, Sydney and Justin. She was murdered at her home in Los Angeles, California, on June 12, 1994, along with her friend, restaurant waiter Ron Goldman, two years after her divorce from Simpson. Simpson, who had a legal history of physically abusing, stalking and making death threats toward Brown, was arrested and charged with both murders. Despite a controversial and highly publicized criminal trial with physical evidence that linked Simpson to the murders, Simpson was acquitted of all charges, though he was later found liable for both deaths in a civil lawsuit in 1997.
