A Nevada parole board has begun deliberating over the early release of former football star and celebrity O.J. Simpson from Lovelock Correctional Center. The 70-year-old Simpson said during his parole hearing that he has “lived a conflict free” life since being convicted in 2008 of an armed robbery to regain sports memorabilia linked to the ex-athlete. The parole board is expected to deliberate for about 20 or 30 minutes, according to reports. If approved, he could be released from the correctional facility as early as October after about nine years in prison. Simpson, along with other men that he enlisted, tried to retrieve sports items that he claims were stolen from him. In 1994, Simpson was found not guilty in the 1994 murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. He later lost a civil suit related to that matter. That case has been the subject of a number of documentaries and movies.
