After Simpson’s criminal case closed, many key players in the drama moved on to even bigger stardom. A few, including Uelmen and Clark, wrote books. Van Susteren began co-hosting a nightly legal analysis program.
Harvey Levin, who had covered the trial for a Los Angeles news station, appeared on reality shows and eventually founded the celebrity Web site TMZ.
Sports agent Leigh Steinberg, who represented many of the 1990s』 biggest names, adjusted his marketing strategy to convince companies that Simpson was an aberration; that an endorsement from a famous athlete was still solid. But even Steinberg couldn’t sell a client with a history of domestic violence. 「Advertisers were not looking for players who reminded them of the Simpson situation,」 Steinberg said.
Trust in athletes took years to rebuild, Steinberg said, and even now, major incidents such as those involving football players Michael Vick and Aaron Hernandez in recent years are setbacks. Athletes are now more closely vetted by sponsors and their own teams.
Its conclusion quieted little of the talk that America remained divided; opinions on the case and verdict traveled racial lines, and two decades later, they often still do.

辛普森的刑事案件結案後,劇中的許多重要角色都成為了更大的明星。一些人,包括尤爾曼和克拉克,寫了書。範·蘇斯特倫開始聯合主持一個夜間法律分析節目。哈維·萊文(Harvey Levin)曾為洛杉磯一家新聞電臺報導過這起案件的審理過程,他曾出現在真人秀節目中,最終創辦了名人網站TMZ。
