O.J. Simpson
O.J. "the Juice" Simpson is the posterchild of 'athletes who need a hobby after retiring'. An excellent running back and entertaining actor (who didn't love the Naked Gun Movies?), O.J. decided to take it up a notch in 1994 when he took up murder as a side gig, slicing up ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her 'friend' *cough lover cough* Ronald Goldman.
Or did he?
Simpson was acquitted of these charges in 1995, much to the shock of almost everyone, but was later found guilty in a civil suit and was ordered to pay $33.5 million dollars to the Goldman family.
Maybe he was still riding high off of getting away with murder or was just looking for ways to pay off his tab, but in September of 2007, Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas and charged with numerous felonies, including robbery with a deadly weapon, burglary with a firearm, assault with a deadly weapon, first-degree kidnaping with use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit kidnaping, and conspiracy to commit a crime.
This time he was found guilty and was sentenced to serve at least nine years in prison.
