Robert George Kardashian (February 22, 1944 – September 30, 2003) was an American lawyer best known as the lawyer and friend of O.J. Simpson.
Life
Kardashian was born to a prosperous Armenian couple in Los Angeles. His family was in the meat-packing business, but he chose not to join the family business. Instead, he earned a law degree from the University of San Diego and practiced for about a decade before going into business. He did not enter a courtroom again until Simpson's trial.
He was the father of three daughters, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe, and one son, Robert Kardashian, Jr., with his former wife Kris Jenner.
Kardashian died of esophageal cancer on September 30, 2003.
Friendship and Defenses of O.J Simpson
Kardashian and Simpson first met while playing tennis in the early 1970s and had become close friends. When Simpson was charged with murder, it had been 20 years since Kardashian was last in a courtroom. Kardashian, a graduate of University of San Diego School of Law, had let his license to practice law expire three years before. He reactivated his license to aid in Simpson's defense, as a volunteer on his legal team. Kardashian sat by Simpson throughout the trial.
In the days following the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman, O.J. 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, but that was never proven, and examination of the bag months later revealed no evidence.
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.
Some time after the trial, Kardashian expressed doubts about Simpson's innocence; The California bar later investigated. Although this strained his relationship with Simpson at the time, by the time of Kardashian's death they had "put it aside"; After his death, Simpson said, "Bob was there when I needed him most."
Kardashians in the Media
In October 2007, a reality television show featuring his children and ex-wife, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, debuted on the E! Television Network.
