[edit] Personal life

Robert Kardashian was of Armenian descent. Kardashian earned a Juris Doctor and practiced for about a decade; after that, he went into business.
He was the father of reality show participants Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, and Robert Kardashian, Jr., with his former wife Kris Jenner.

[edit] O. J. Simpson case

Kardashian and Simpson first met in the early 1970s and became close friends. Kardashian let his license to practice law become inactive three years before the Simpson case. He reactivated his license to aid in Simpson's defense as a volunteer assistant on his legal team. He sat by Simpson throughout the trial.[2]
In the days following the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, Simpson stayed in Kardashian's house. Kardashian was the man seen carrying Simpson's garment bag the day Simpson flew back from Chicago. Prosecutors speculated the bag may have contained Simpson's bloody clothes and/or the murder weapon; a later examination of the bag revealed no evidence related to the criminal case.[2]
When Simpson failed to turn himself in at 11 a.m. on June 17, 1994, Kardashian read a letter by Simpson to the collected media. The letter was interpreted by many as a suicide note.[3]

[edit] Death

Kardashian died of esophageal cancer on September 30, 2003.[4] He was 59 years old at the time of his death.
