UPDATED: OJ Simpson Granted Parole
(Carson City, NV) — Former NFL star O.J. Simpson is being granted parole. Four members of Nevada’s parole board voted in favor of freeing Simpson as early as October 1st. Simpson said “thank you” and some cheers erupted from the room at Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada where the “Juice” appeared. The 70-year-old has served more than eight-years of a nine-to-33-year term for attempted robbery and other crimes connected to a 2007 attempt to recover memorabilia from a Las Vegas hotel room. During the parole hearing, a victim of that crime, Bruce Fromong, testified in Simpson’s defense, saying the two have made amends. Simpson’s daughter, Arnelle, also read an emotional statement in support of her father.
