Former NFL Footballer, O.J. Simpson Granted Parole after 9 Years in Prison

   

    Simpson, 70, was convicted in 2008 after enlisting a group of men, including two with guns, to retrieve some items from two sports collectibles sellers that Simpson said were stolen from him a decade earlier. He has now reached the nine-year minimum of the 33-year sentence he received.


   Simpson appeared in front of the board via a live video feed from a prison in Nevada. In his plea for release, Simpson told the board that he’s taken an “alternative to violence” course and that he is the commissioner of a softball league in prison. The board he appeared in front of is the same one that granted parole on 12 of his charges in 2013.
