What to know about OJ Simpson’s parole hearing

He is approaching the nine-year minimum of his sentence. He turned 70 earlier this month.

When Simpson would buy extra food at Lovelock, other inmates would carry his bags for him, Lewis and both ex-guards recalled.

Stoltmann says the events of 1994 should not come into play during the hearing.

“I think he spent more than enough time in prison for a robbery in which he didn’t even have a gun himself”, Lasso said. More than two decades later, interest in Simpson is higher than ever. However, with several pop culture interpretations of the story, such as FX’s “The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”, the conversation has shifted.

The other victim of the Las Vegas robbery, Alfred Beardsley, died in 2015.

At his sentencing hearing, Simpson argued that he was attempting to get family heirlooms and personal items back from memorabilia dealers, including Fromong. A majority decision by four board members would grant Simpson parole.

Why is O.J. Simpson in jail? The hearing is expected to last 35 to 45 minutes. It concludes that his final tally will be 3 points, which means the board would consider him a low risk.

Simpson’s parole will be approved or denied if all four commissioners vote unanimously. Commissioners are required to reach a unanimous decision, but two additional commissioners will review the case if a decision can’t be determined. Simpson will face the same four parole board members who were present at his 2013 parole hearing.

A rehearing date would be set by the panel for some time between one and three years later.

At the same time, aside from the first 10 or so years of my life, I’ve never gone almost a decade without an orgasm, so what do I know? If the four parole commissioners who are scheduled to conduct the hearing can not agree unanimously on whether to release Simpson, the remaining three members will be contacted immediately to review the case and vote until there is a majority for approval or denial. The lower the number, the greater the likelihood of release.
