O.J. Simpson Had 'Very Strong Ego' — and It 'Clouded a Lot of His Reactions,' Says Attorney (Exclusive)

O.J. Simpson's former attorneys, Robert Blasier, Alan Dershowitz, and Carl Douglas, all exclusively share with PEOPLE their reactions to Simpson's death, his legacy, and the "Trial of the Century."

He didn't always listen to his lawyer's advice,” explains Dershowitz, adding that he “told [Simpson] once he got acquitted to assume a low profile,” but “[he] did not.” “He had a big impact on racial divisions," Dershowitz says, adding that “he left a mark,” and notes the significance of Simpson’s trial being the first that was “tried live on television.” He notes how his client “had a very strong ego, as you can probably understand,” adding “that kind of clouded a lot of his reactions.”
