There is 'no doubt' that Tiger King’s Carole Baskin got away with murder, says OJ Simpson

It seems that the only thing keeping many of us distracted from the coronavirus pandemic is the Netflix true-crime series Tiger King which documents the rise and fall of US zoo owner Joe Exotic.

The eccentric big cat enthusiast is currently serving 22 years in federal prison for his involvement in a conspiracy to murder animal rights activist Carole Baskin, who had targetted Exotic's park and the questionable treatment of his animals.

Exotic seemed to become obsessed with Baskin, especially a rumour that she murdered her wealthy husband Don Lewis and fed him to tigers after he mysteriously went missing in 1997 and hasn't been seen or heard from since. He even 'recorded' a song about the mystery.

As said, this unbelievable story has grabbed the world's attention and it would appear that everyone is watching it and has an opinion of who is in the right and the wrong.

This includes controversial figures like the former American football player and actor OJ Simpson, who is convinced that Baskin murdered her husband.

In a Twitter video, Simpson, who had watched the series, was firstly in shock at what happened throughout the course of the documentary but in his estimation was convinced that Lewis was dead.

He said:

There’s not a shred of doubt in my mind that that lady’s husband is tiger sashimi right now. I’m just saying.

It's somewhat ironic that Simpson felt the need to comment on a possible murder, given he was at the centre of the most famous and notorious murder trial in US history when he was accused of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994.

After an 11-month investigation and trial Simpson was eventually acquitted in court but in a poll as recent as 2016, 83 per cent of white Americans and 57 per cent of black Americans now believe that Simpson was guilty.

Simpson went on to write a bestselling book called If I Did It, in which he lays out a hypothetical scenario in which he explains how the murders could have taken place.
