EXCLUSIVE: OJ Simpson looks unrecognizable as the frail NFL legend, 76, is spotted carrying groceries in Las Vegas… 28 years after being acquitted in the ‘Trial of the Century’

Just over 28 years after he was acquitted in the trial of the century, OJ Simpson looked almost unrecognizable while out and about in Las Vegas on Thursday.

Simpson, 76, appeared weak as he carried some groceries and a laptop through a parking lot while wearing a Southern California University polo shirt.

The NFL legend and ex-con also wore dark beige pants with a pair of tan loafers when he was spotted in Vegas this week.

This month marked the 28th anniversary of Simpson’s victory in the Trial of the Century, when he was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.

His acquittal came nine months after the highly publicized trial began in 1995, and about 16 months after Simpson and Goldman were found brutally murdered outside the former’s Los Angeles home.

Simpson’s trial and eventual acquittal of the murders were televised for the world to see, although despite walking away a free man in 1995, he was later forced to pay out $33.5 million in damages to the Brown and Goldman after he was found. responsible for the deaths in the civil court.

The former Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers running back also faced more legal trouble when he was sentenced to nine to 33 years behind bars for armed robbery in 2008.

After serving nine of those years, he was released on parole in 2017.

In August, Simpson made headlines when he hit the sentence handed down against former NFL player Henry Ruggs compared to his own prison for armed robbery.

He said he was surprised when Ruggs, 24, was given a three- to 10-year prison sentence despite causing the death of a 23-year-old woman after driving down a strip at more than 155 mph in November 2021 drove in Las Vegas.

“The calculations just don’t add up,” said Simpson, who spent nine years behind bars after trying to steal sports memorabilia from a Las Vegas hotel room with a gun in September 2007.

“I know I went to college on a football scholarship, but somehow this math doesn’t add up,” he added.

Simpson wasn’t the only one who believed Ruggs may have gotten off lightly for his role in the November 2021 crash that killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog.

He was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in a famous trial that played out on television around the world.

At one time, the former Las Vegas Raiders star could have spent 50 years behind bars, but in May he reached a plea deal to plead guilty to one felony count of driving under the influence.

Hours after the verdict was read in the same courthouse where he was convicted fourteen years ago, Simpson shared his thoughts on the legal proceedings with his 900,000 followers on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“You drive a car at like 160 miles per hour on a public road and end up killing a girl and her dog and you get three to 10 years?” Simpson said, pointing out Ruggs’ crime.

Comparing it to his own arrest, he said, “You go to a hotel room, which you were invited to, to retrieve your own personal stolen property – property that I now have because the state of California ruled it was mine – and you gets nine to 33 years?’

“Same courthouse, same city, same state. Don’t know. Somehow it just doesn’t make sense to me… I’m just saying,” he finished.
