"For the first time in a long while, O.J. Simpson got a bit of favorable legal news Wednesday when Nevada officials granted him parole on several of his 2008 convictions for kidnapping and armed robbery stemming from his attempt to retrieve sports memorabilia.
But the disgraced former Heisman Trophy winner and USC running back still faces at least four more years in prison on sentences that were ordered to run consecutively."
I watched most of his hearing in front of the parole board.
God, he still comes off as a complete sociopath. Nothing but lies and showing no remorse or recognition over his violent behavior in his past. Completely tone deaf, too.
Simpson has already served far more time than his coconspirators in the Vegas robbery. IIRC Simpson was unarmed and yet the ones carrying the guns got lighter sentences.
I know everybody wants him permanently locked up for the murder of his ex. Unfortunately he was aquitted of that criminal charge.
There’s no credible reason to extend his prison stay for a non-violent robbery in Vegas. Especially considering that he was retrieving his own possessions.
Hell, throw the book at him and eek out every day, month and year you can to keep his psychopathic, violent ass behind bars, just for saying “I’ve lived a conflict-free life” alone.
If he were younger, I’d be even more cynical about his chances of running afoul again. But still, I just can’t trust that guy, knowing what we all know.
Did you listen to him snap at the parole commissioner who asked him if he felt that he was entitled to take all the items that were in the possessions of the other guy?
It was a joke that OJ then went on and on about how anger management classes helped him so much. And I don’t think he actually showed any real remorse for what he did. I guess the parole board saw it differently.
