Was OJ Simpson a jealous person?

Answer 1

Jealous may not be the correct word. Of couse it was probably part of the emotion that went into the crime. The bigger part of it would most likely be control. He most certainly was controlling.

Although for obvious reasons, the Simpson's felt it best to go their own ways, and OJ Simpson was in fact involved with someone else at the time of the murders, he could not let go of his control over his ex-wife. Ronald Goldman was just a victim of circumstance. He was more or less incidental, wrong place, wrong time.

After the criminal trial and then the civil trial (in which Simpson was found guilty) Simpson continued to have serious problems with his relationships. One girlfriend had to call police because of physical abuse by Simpson. After that his own daughter had to also call 911 because her father was hitting her and being abusive.

No matter the outcome of the criminal trial, Simpson has a problem that makes his living in any community difficult to impossible. I fear the day he has finished his prison sentence for armed robbery and is released once again on the world.
