Before the murders, OJ was as popular as The Rock is today. Football star who was in a lot of well received movies.

Also, if you have any sort of job that puts you into contact with law enforcement, look up Dennis Fung. Fung drew OJ's blood after the crime and was eviscerated on the stand by the defence team. They needed to prove a conspiracy and Fung became past of their story.
