In 2007, the disgraced former actor and athlete took several accomplices and broke into a Las Vegas hotel room to steal some pieces of memorabilia. Simpson was then convicted in 2008 on “three counts of conspiracy, one count of burglary in possession of a deadly weapon, and two counts each of kidnapping, robbery, assault, and coercion, all with a deadly weapon,” though he denied having any knowledge of any of his accomplices carrying said weapon.
The July parole hearing addressed the remaining counts of his conviction; he was paroled on five counts in 2013, but he had to serve the nine-year minimum before being heard on the other seven counts.
