O.J. Simpson Granted Parole
Simpson was granted parole Thursday after more than eight years in prison for a Las Vegas hotel-room heist. He successfully argued for his freedom in a nationally televised hearing that highlighted America's ongoing fascination with the former football star.
Sentence and Release Details
At 70 years old, Simpson could be released as early as October, having served the minimum portion of his nine-to-33-year armed robbery sentence. The crime involved a failed attempt to recover sports memorabilia and other items he claimed had been stolen from him.
Parole Board Decision
All four parole commissioners voted for his release after about thirty minutes of deliberation. They based their decision on several factors:
- Low risk of committing another crime
- Strong community support
- Firm release plans, including a move to Florida
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Simpson said quietly as he buried his head on his chest with relief. As he rose to return to his prison cell, he exhaled deeply.
