In 2008, Simpson was convicted of multiple felonies and faced up to life in jail. Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, cited the all-white jury as a factor in the conviction. During jury-screening, almost half of the jurors admitted that they believed Simpson had committed the 1994 murders, while the remaining jurors claimed they 'didn't know' or refused to answer the question, leading Galanter to suggest that the conviction was 'payback' for being unable to convict Simpson in 1994.

Simpson died in 2024 after a long battle with cancer. He was survived by four children. Tributes to him were few and far between, most of which were darkly humorous. Filmmaker David Zucker, who directed the ''Naked Gun'' crime parody film trilogy in which Simpson had a supporting role, joked on [[Instagram]]: "His acting was a lot like his murdering: He got away with it, but no one believed him".
