Famous people who “very probably” committed murder after being famous

  1. O.J. Simpson
  2. Robert Blake
  3. Phil Spector
  4. Matthew Broderick

In 1987, Matthew Broderick and his then-girlfriend and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off co-star, Jennifer Grey, were on vacation in Ireland. Broderick mistakenly drove the wrong way on a street and crashed into on oncoming vehicle. The driver and passenger in the other car both died from their injuries.

(Vince Foster,according to some. “Very probably” not my characterization, and therefor not a political jab.)

Yes, absolutely, I agree. That’s why I gave them sub-indices. I just thought the extra information should be more widely known, given the uncanny circumstances.

38547

I must protest: “murder” was never the issue, or a “probable” later on (pace Hillary). Manslaughter.

Duly noted, though I don’t know if we can actually come up with a Baker’s Dozen of actual peers of O.J. Since he began the round, it’s up to OneCentStamp to make the judgment call.

It’s merely a game on a message board - we should use as loose a definition of “murder” as we can. If you kill a person… you’re game for this list. All imho.

Also, I would like to commend the Boards restraint for not mentioning INXS singer Michael Hutchence in two straight categories of bizarre celebrity deaths/suicides. :wink:

Yeah, “killed somebody” would be better phrasing than the legally-specific “committed murder” IMHO.

Scariest moment in your life

(Intense sudden , ranging from the most effective “boo” or prank to “oh Christ, I could die this very moment and I’m about to or actually losing it.”)

1, Tie: in summer camp age 7 when the older kids and counselors had us watch “Psycho”; in target range, hearing first wave of Scud attack, Gulf War

[ :smack: fuck, what’s the matter with me? Looks like I’m forcing my way in to pre-position myself–I’m not, just not taking enough time, or not seeing page jump, or something.

And it wasn’t even ninja’ed.

I’ve done this more than once, and I apologize. ]

Scariest moment in your life

  1. Tie: in summer camp age 7 when the older kids and counselors had us watch “Psycho”; in target range, hearing first wave of Scud attack, Gulf War
  2. When my 1 year old son (who’d just started running for the first time) fell and cut his head on our coffee table. He wasn’t hurt seriously, as it turned out, but he bled so profusely that I was in a blind panic as I drove him to the ER.
