The Fall of a Hero

Have you heard the story of O.J. Simpson, the famous black American football star?  Ten years ago he was a famous sports hero in the United States, loved by children and admired by adults.  He was rich, handsome, intelligent, and a model of success for young black American boys.  Until last summer, it looked as if he was a (1).............................. man who had everything: money, fame, a beautiful house, and a (2)............................ wife.  But suddenly one day last May things started to look very different.

Early one morning, police found O.J.'s wife, Nicole Simpson, lying dead in a pool of blood.  Clearly, she had been               (3) .................................  .  The big question was: Did her husband do it?

Probably he did, but no one saw him do it.  The police couldn't find the knife that the killer had used, but when they searched O.J.'s house they found some bloody clothes in his (4) ........................ .  A few days later when the police came back to arrest him, he tried to escape, and this made him look even more guilty.  When crime touches the life of a famous person, it's news.

Journalists also discovered that she had tried several times to call the police and tell them that her husband was hurting her, but the police didn't listen.  They didn't want to arrest a man that was so popular and famous.  Finally, Nicole became so         (9) ...................................  that she left O.J. and moved to another house.  But he    (10) ....................................... calling her - he couldn't live with her or without her, and he was jealous of her new friends.

After a long trial, in September 1995 a court of law in California decided that  O.J. was innocent.  Many people disagree with this and think he is guilty, but others believe he is innocent.  The death of Nicole Simpson was sad, but even sadder is the disappointment so many Americans feel.  One woman lost her life, but America lost a hero.
