Rumor has it that he will be appointed ambassador to Southern California. [emoji6]

It seems like the judge and jury in Nevada tried to hand out justice for the 1994 murders by overcharging and over sentencing OJ, since the law for similar offences would be much more lenient. Now, will the parole board go by the law, or rather usual parole standards, or try to continue to hand out justice for 1994???

Judges have a lot of leeway with sentencing in certain cases like with OJs.

OJ Simpson granted parole for Las Vegas robbery - ABC News

Link to the story. The Nevada Parole Board did not take into account the matter of the double murders in Los Angeles IMHO.

Simpson requests returning to Florida, where he lived previously. I imagine his desired location would be much more elegant that anything near The Villages. He's had plenty of time, friends, and advice to easily avoid a life of mediocrity. Even with the Goldman award hanging over him, he's well-connected and will probably lead a lavish lifestyle wherever if he chooses.

Maybe he could do the reverse snowbird thing and winter with Dennis Rodman in Pyongyang----or is that a reverse jailbird????

I would welcome him as my neighbor the same as I would any murder suspect that was found innocent.

Maybe he'd be a 3.9 in Pickelball

Maybe he will hook up with Casey Anthony and you can throw them a housewarming party.

Not until October. He has to walk the straight and narrow until then.

I lived in Las Vegas when this trial occurred. If it wasn't for the armed robbery portion of the crime he would probably would have gotten off very lightly. I, and others, believe the judge took him to the wall because of the murder of his ex-wife.

His home in Kendall FL sold this past Tuesday for $755K. And then he has his NFL pension of $19K per month. I'm not sure about the house proceeds, but I do know his pension cannot be touched. The Goldmans have repeated been rebuffed about that.

Being found innocent, especially under the circus of a trial he went through is very different than actually being innocent in fact. Remember the Goldmans won.


OJ is a murderer, a dirtbag.

[golf2140]

Let's see 9 years for an armed robbery and two murders. Got off easy !!!!

BUT, OJ received his lengthy jail term for a crime where no one was injured by people like me who thought he got away with murder. OJ has served 10 years for a crime where others would have gotten away with a slap on the wrist or a year. We cannot, we should not try to penalize OJ for a crime that he probably did commit but was found NOT GUILTY. OJ should be paroled.

Just like Berkowitz, the police will be watching him and every traffics violation etc will be public news. So much for my, in this case liberal??? view. I SURE HOPE HE IS NOT LOOKING IN THE VILLAGES-CALIF IS NOT FAR ENOUGH AWAY-HAWAII-PERHAPS.

Well said. I agree but also don't like it.
