No one will know what was inside OJ Simpson’s head.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer turned infamous accused double murderer died of Cancer last week. He was found not guilty in what was once called the trial of the century. He was 76.
His longtime lawyer Malcolm LaVergne says Simpson’s assets will be distributed in – “a cold, dispassionate manner.”
LaVergne also has no interest in finding out the condition of Simpson’s brain.
CTE … or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is a degenerative brain disease that has been found in athletes, especially former football players due to repeated head injuries.
It’s thought to cause behavioral and cognitive issues like impulsive, aggressive, and antisocial behavior. Others faced dementia or ALS better known as Lou Gerig’s Disease.
Hundreds of these athletes won a lawsuit against the NFL which has since acknowledged the tie between football and CTE.
Whether OJ killed his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman or not, he displayed many signs of CTE. He was accused of domestic violence and went to jail for an ill-conceived armed robbery.
But no one will know what was inside OJ Simpson’s head.
“On at least one occasion, someone has called saying he’s a CTE guy who studies the brain,” said LaVergne, “That’s a hard no. His entire body, including his brain, will be cremated.”
And that’s a shame.
