O.J. Simpson will be free to leave prison as early as this fall after serving over eight years of a 33 year prison sentence for a robbery in Las Vegas in 2007. The 70-year-old former football star bowed his head after the decision was announced. The live broadcasts of the hearing was carried live and attracted 13 million total viewers
Speaking to Nevada State parole board, former U.S. football star O.J. Simpson persuaded members to grant him parole after serving nine years in prison. The 70-year-old Simpson appeared thinner and optimistic to the expected ruling.
==O.J. SIMPSON former football star==
I've done my time. I'd just like to get back to my family and friends, and believe it or not, I do have some real friends. I'm sorry it happened. I'm sorry it was in Nevada. I wish (Thomas) Riccio had never called me. I thought I was glad to get my stuff back but it just wasn't worth it. Nine years away from your families.
The Riccio whom Simpson was referring to was the person who called Simpson in September 2007 and told Simpson that his sports memorabilia were to be auctioned off. Simpson brought arms with him and intended for retrieval. But Simpson got arrested and court ruled him 33 years in prison under charges of armed robbery and assault with a weapon. After serving nine years, Simpson got his parole.
In 1994, Simpson was charged and acquitted with killing his wife Nicole and Ronald Goldman, but he was released due to lack of evidence. Simpson used to be a football super star, he was viewed as best running back in NFL history. Simpson played Super Bowl for six times and named the hall of fame in 1985. Nevada State parole board voted granting parole to Simpson, and he will be released as early as October this year.

==前美式足球明星 辛普森==
我已經服刑
我只想回到我家人跟朋友身邊
不知道大家是否相信
我還真的(在監獄)交了些朋友
我很抱歉發生這些事
我對內華達州感到抱歉
我真希望瑞西歐那時沒打電話來
我當時只想拿回我的東西
但其實真的很不值得
花了九年的時間跟家人分開
辛普森所說的瑞西歐,就是在2007年9月曾打電話告訴辛普森,他所屬卻被偷走的運動紀念用品正要被拍賣,辛普森帶人搶劫拿回紀念品,隨後遭逮,2008年判刑33年,坐牢九年後獲得假釋。
辛普森曾在1994年涉嫌殺害前妻遭起訴,但罪證不足獲釋,前後兩起案件轟動全美,因為他曾是美式足球超級巨星,當時被譽為NFL史上最佳跑鋒,六度打進超級盃,1985年正式走進美式足球名人堂。
內華達州假釋委員會是以他在獄中表現良好,投票通過假釋,最快10月就可出獄。
