The Juice will be loose: O.J. Simpson granted parole

Simpson was granted parole Thursday after more than eight years in prison for a Las Vegas hotel-room heist. He successfully argued for his freedom during a nationally televised hearing, highlighting America’s lasting fascination with the former football star.

At 70, Simpson could be released as early as October, having served the minimum of his nine-to-33-year sentence for armed robbery. The crime involved a failed attempt to retrieve sports memorabilia and other items he claimed were stolen from him.

All four parole commissioners voted for his release after about 30 minutes of deliberation. They referenced the low risk of reoffending, community support, and his planned move to Florida as key factors in their decision.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Simpson said quietly, bowing his head with relief. As he stood to return to his cell, he exhaled deeply.

Simpson’s parole underscores the enduring public interest in his life and legal troubles beyond his football career.
