I posted this on a few message boards, including Yahoo Answers! so I hope I can add some opinions to this. My opinion to the below question is "no", although it's hard right now to explain why?



 



Michael Jackson had a remarkable music career. He also was charged with child sex abuse. He went to trial and  - although he was assumed guilty in the public eye - was declared innocent by a jury. Since his death, his life has been celebrated and remembered for his music.

OJ Simpson had a remarkable football career in the NFL. Later in life he was charged with the murder of his ex-wife and her boyfriend. OJ was also assumed to be guilty by the public but he was declared "not guilty" by a jury as well.

When OJ Simpson dies, will he be remembered as fondly as Michael Jackson has this past week?
