Simpson has served eight years of a 33-year sentence

O.J. Simpson has been incarcerated at Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada since 2008 after being sentenced to 33 years in prison, all stemming from an incident at a Las Vegas hotel room from which Simpson attempted to forcefully reclaim memorabilia.

The former Bills star and Hall of Fame running back, now 70, was charged with and found guilty on 12 counts, including conspiracy, burglary, robbery, kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon.

This summer, he may get out early. According to analysis from Sports Illustrated legal analyst and University of New Hampshire law professor Michael McCann and co-writer Jon Wertheim, Simpson might be granted early release on parole.

The only problem is, will he know he’s been released and does he really care?

Maybe the Dems could run him on a ticket with Elizabeth Warren. The media would explode with joy.

I give him 18 months tops before he does something else stupid and gets sent right back to jail.

No surprise, truth in sentencing is so passé, we need not be so tough on criminals.

Would anyone else be released like this?

Probably not.

Sorry O. J., you chose the wrong path fella.

There was a time years ago when I really liked this guy.

How sad what he did to destroy himself.

Sad and vile that is...

It’s important to release him, so he can resume his search for his wife’s killer on every golf course and strip club in Florida.

The 90s are back.

Must not have gotten the memo that the Clintons are not in the White House.

Can they make it a condition of parole no killing ex-wives or girlfriends?

If it's a state prison then this is entirely possible. But if he is in a FEDERAL PEN, then they have eliminated parole. He has to do the whole stretch. But state prisons have to face competition for bed space and keeping the most violent behind bars. Simpson can arguably BE violent but that was a long time ago... Just keep him away from sharp objects. And white Broncos.

Watch that documentary on Netflix - “OJ - Made in America” - It almost makes you understand how celebrity, fame and no consequences for your actions for such a long time can ruin your life. As well, OJ ran into Ron Goldman and may have thought he was a homosexual like his father who never gave a sht about him

No, anyone else would have been convicted on the multiple murder charges that he faced at the first trial; and, would be sitting on death row. The second trial just had a jury that was not brain dead and morally deficient. Yes, I just said that.

I agree with your take on it.

Sad (well infuriating actually) but true.

OJ was killing whites, slitting throats and cutting off heads before it was popular.

This POS should die in prison.
