Simpson could be release said from a nevada correctional facility in ten more weeks. Yesterday, a group of four commissioners granted the former nfl star parole after almost nine years in prison for a las vegas robbery. A visibly relieved simpson thanked the parole board after they unanimously voted in favor of his release. This morning, fred goldman, whose son was murdered in 1994 with nicole brown, is reacting to the decision. For me, its very frustrating because my perception of a parole hearing is to determine whether this individual is going to potentially be a threat to society. Whether he has the possibility of doing something bad again, another bad decision. And i think thats just who he is. They never pressed him about anything. We should make it clear, simpson was acquitted of both murder charges but was found liable for the killings in a 1997 civil trial.

This is going to last for a little while. Word is starting to spread. There are signs posted at the stations, and we saw some people reading them this morning, saying theyre just seeing them for the first time. So as word gets out, were hearing the planning start. And the worrying. Some are wondering how theyre going to deal with muni being closed. The muni subway station being closed on the weekends starting this weekend. And then shutting down at 9 30 on the week nights. And some say they just arent so sure about this. Im just worried about the evening routes. Especially on a friday night. I dont know. I have never taken Public Transit other than this or the tram on a friday night. So i dont know how thats going to go. Hopefully theres more security around. And then on the weekends, thats going to be a hassle, too, because we dont like driving during the weekends. We would rather drive here and then take the bus. So traffic definitely around the city is going to be worse, i believe. The reason they are doing this is because they have new muni cars. The cars are here. And theyre going to be better, but they need to be tested. So they need to do these closures. Theyre shutting down the subway system between the montgomery and the west portal stations. They will offer bus bridges between those stations if you need them. There will be some exceptions. They do plan to offer full service, for example, during the outside lands musical festival.
