O.J Simpson

O.J. Simpson granted parole

A four-person panel for Nevada Board of Prisons ruled unanimously on Thursday that former NFL star Simpson - who was famously acquitted of the 1994 double murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman - would receive parole for his 2008 conviction for armed robbery/kidnapping.

The parole hearing saw Simpson speak to the board, but more notably it saw his daughter, Arnelle Simpson, simply ask for her father back.
