O.j. Simpson’s Florida Home Facing Foreclosure

 O.J. Simpson will have to find new digs when he is released from prison. JP Morgan Chase has filed for foreclosure on his Florida home. The NFL Hall of Famer and former sports broadcaster purchased the home in 2000 for $575,000. The property has slightly depreciated and is presently valued at $478,000.  

Simpson, 64, nicknamed “The Juice” turned infamous in 1994 after being arrested for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Even though he was acquitted years later in what was called ”The Trial Of The Century,” Simpson was found liable in a civil suit brought by the Brown and Goldman family. 

Matters took a turn for the worse on September 13, 2007. While in Las Vegas, Simpson was approached by a man telling him someone was selling his memorabilia- memorabilia that had been stolen from Simpson’s home years before. Unknown to Simpson at the time, the talebearer was secretly recording the entire incident that would be his undoing. Instead of contacting the police, Simpson and six men forced their way into sports memorabilia collector Bruce Fromong’s hotel room at Palace Station in Las Vegas robbing him at gunpoint.

The secretly recorded tape would ultimately be Simpson’s downfall, as he was sentenced onOctober 3, 2008 to 33 years years in prison with the possiblity of parole after 9 years. He is currently being held at Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada.
