Memorabilia sales spike after the death of O.J. Simpson [Video]

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Since O.J. Simpson’s death, people have spoken about the former NFL star’s checkered past and his time living in Las Vegas, which has also caused a spike in demand for memorabilia.

Simpson’s name has sparked controversy since the 1990s, when he was charged and later acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman.

Simpson was later found liable for both murders in a civil trial and ordered to pay both the Brown and Goldman families $33.5 million in damages.

The 76-year-old who died of prostate cancer Wednesday was living in Las Vegas after serving nine years in prison in the state for robbery and kidnapping.
