His death sparked as many headlines as the crimes and football exploits to which he was linked. However, in the end, O.J. Simpson departed this world the way most do: infirm, his health failing - but surrounded by his family and friends. Simpson went to extraordinary lengths to keep his condition under wraps. Les Trent explains how he kept it all private. And O.J. Simpson's trials for murder for which he was acquitted, and for armed robbery that landed him in jail for nine years were widely known.

The rules are clear – don’t let anyone ride in a trailer being pulled by a car, and this tragedy happened as one family journeyed to see the eclipse. As Jim Moret reports, a pediatrician was thrown out the door of their Airstream as it was travelling down a road. And it was the critical thing that everyone reporting on the eclipse stressed – “don’t look directly at the sun!” As expected, not everyone heeded the warning. Plus, The University of Connecticut’s men’s basketball team won its second consecutive national title last night...and no one was happier than, of all people, actor Bill Murray. And a couple in the midst of a contentious child custody battle were shot and killed inside an attorney's office. Now, we've learned the shooter was the woman's former father-in-law who has terminal brain cancer.
