LOVELOCK, Nev. (AP) — The Latest on O.J. Simpson’s parole hearing (all times local):
11:55 a.m.
O.J. Simpson will be paroled after serving nine years in prison for a botched bid to retrieve sports memorabilia in Las Vegas.
A Nevada parole board decided Thursday that the 70-year-old former football, TV and movie star will be released in October after serving his minimum term for armed robbery and assault with a weapon.
Simpson responded emotionally, saying, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Four parole commissioners in Carson City questioned Simpson by videoconference from the Lovelock Correctional Center in rural Nevada. He has been held there since he was convicted in 2008.
The conviction came 13 years to the day after he was acquitted of murder in 1995 in the deaths of his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles.
Now he can resume his search for the “real” killer.
Simpson who?
Let’s see, all 3 major networks carried Simpson’sparole hearing.
But they did not give live coverage to Trump’s latest attempts to subvert justice and terminate ACA which would have the consequence of leading tens of thousands of Americans a year to earlier deaths.
There is no balance to this ‘news’ coverage.
Apparently he was a model prisoner, caused no problems and he served his time.
Not sure why they would have not granted him parole.
Amazing that even this man now seems less of a threat to the country than the President. And on top of that he’s killed less people than Putin.
What a weird time we’re living through…
