O.J. Simpson has been granted parole
After serving nearly nine years of a nine-to-33 year sentence in his 2008 conviction on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping related to a hotel-room confrontation in Las Vegas, Nevada, O.J. Simpson has been granted parole, according to CBS News. Simpson appeared to be in good spirits at the hearing, laughing and joking when Nevada Board of Parole Commissioner Connie Brisbee mistakenly listed his age as 90 years old. “I feel it, though,” he said. He also testified on his own behalf, saying he’s a “good guy” who “take[s] full responsibility“ for the robbery. He added, “I am no danger to pull a gun on anybody,” and “I am sorry things turned out the way they did,” as reported by CNN.
