Tom Sandoval criticized for comparison with George Floyd and OJ Simpson
Former football player OJ Simpson faced a highly publicized murder trial in the 1990s for the deaths of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Although he was acquitted of criminal charges, he was later found liable in a civil lawsuit. On the other hand, the death of George Floyd in 2020 sparked nationwide protests against police brutality, which led to the conviction of the officer responsible.
