It was the sports gambling expert, R.J. Bell who tracked Donaghy’s games over the five year period from 2003 to 2007. He even concluded, based on the Las Vegas sports books, the points the teams involved scored and points discrepancies that, there was “a 99.9 percent chance that these results would not have happened without an outside factor.”

Well, if the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit. Who doesn’t know the story of O.J. Simpson and the infamous scandal of whether he did or did not kill his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and another man. Of course, O.J. Simpson was a famous NFL running back and no one could watch television in 1994 without hearing about the ongoing murder trial.

It was the biggest news story involving an athlete at the time and probably in history. Though, he was found not guilty, many still believe he committed the crime and it doesn’t help that he wrote a book afterwards called If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.
