Faces made famous because of the 'trial of the century'. - by Erin Craven

In the years since the OJ Simpson murder trial, defence lawyers Johnnie Cochrane and Robert Kardashian (whose famous daughter Kim Kardashian is now becoming a lawyer) both died of cancer. Here's a look at where the other players are today:

The OJ Simpson trial: Where are they now?

Fred Goldman: Victim's father

Goldman, 78, successfully sued Simpson for his son's death and was awarded $US33.5 million, though he has barely received one per cent of it. He retired in 2015 after years of working in retail.
