O.J. Simpson has been granted parole after nine years in prison for a Las Vegas robbery, a group of four Nevada commissioners decided today.
The
imprisoned former NFL player could be released as early as Oct. 1.
Simpson,
70, delivered a rambling account of the case to the parole board earlier today,
maintaining that he didn’t intend to steal but “wish this would have never
happened.”
Simpson
was at times jovial and combative with the members of the parole board, expressing
his remorse and saying he's humbled by his incarceration. Simpson was sentenced
to prison following an arrest in 2007 during a botched robbery in Las Vegas,
when he led a group of men into a hotel and casino to steal sports memorabilia
at gunpoint. He contended the memorabilia and other personal items belonged to
him.
Simpson
said today, "I take full responsibility."
