Man as early as october. that was his attorney, and he was mentioning a name that many of us may not be familiar with. jeff felix, who apparently wrote this book "goordiuarding the ju" hes been giving color on what o.j. simpson has been like. paul, lets talk about that life behind bars and how, you know, according to this former, what, correctional officer and others, you know, and part of the reason that he was granted this parole was despite anything you may think of, you know, o.j. simpson pr...

That let o.j. simpson go, okay? so, thats it. all right. im going to go back and spend some more time. im going to go back and spend time with mr. simpson and his family a little bit. ill be back after its finished. its kind of hot out here and hopefully its hot enough for you to all be gone by then but if youre not, ill answer some more questions. okay. take care. >> that was o.j. simpsons lawyer. if youre just tuning in, this is essentially o.j. simpson day and what you have missed -- what you...

Beyond a reasonable doubt is that we have a standard in this country where we will let nine people who are guilty go free so that we do not convict one innocent. thats what the definition of beyond a reasonable doubt is. >> and jeffrey, you accept the jury virkts in other cases. why is this case different? why are people having such a difficult time with o.j. simpson when the jury has an opportunity to review the evidence, you had skilled prosecutors presenting the case, they made a decision. ho...

Horrible stories of gangs and violence, and o.j. said what he tried to do, using his celebrity status, was not to get favors, not to be treated differently, but to help other guys in prison so that they could serve their time and hopefully be paroled in the same way and i think he has to be given credit for that because he could have gone in there with this big ego, im squloech o.j. simpson, you know, make this vacation for me, but rather than do that, he used his skills and his celebrity status...

This for two decades. there are a lot of people that hate o.j. >> yes, there are. >> there are a lot of people that are angry with o.j. and i dont think hes just going to get out in october and be waving his hands and get a, you know, ticker parade down new york avenue and everybodys going to be excited that hes a free man. i think life is going to be difficult and i think that hes going to have security concerns and im putting money on it now. i think hes going to find himself in trouble someho...

Cop, mark furman, in the o.j. trial, this really just outrageous comments using the "n" word, caught on tape. so, again, for me, we have to talk about race. we have to talk about class. and culture when we talk about o.j. simpson and its not just black and white. its the impact that he has on the african-american community as well. >> listening to all of you, and i want to continue this great conversation, just want to point the viewer, a, to this -- this is the carson city, nevada, room where w...

Visit him here have also shed light on this. tom for one, whos behind me with o.j. simpson in lovelock, he said that whenever he visited with the simpsons, the guards would jokingly call him the name from the "naked gun" movies. they called him bobble head. he thinks that o.j. and others consistently played fantasy football and played it so well that felix said he cheated off o.j.s fantasy football sheets and made some money. they also said that he not only ran the softball league and coached it...

>> brooke, can i comment on something. >> please do, yes. >> one of the things impacted to comment on is what the lawyer said, o.j.s attorney said, which i completely agree with. he said o.j. is a polarizing figure and its not just polarizing along racial lines, black and white. hes polarizing in the african-american community. o. j. at one point said he didnt even identify as african-american, he was o.j., that he was somehow above race and that he didnt have to live by the same standards as ot...

Interesting -- >> no one has suggested that, kyra. the mans daughter just testified that she loves her father. he heard her make that testimony. >> the other thing to remember is that o.j. simpson was out and a free man from 1995 to 2007. and it was fine. i mean, he did not, you know, he did not have trouble with people on the street. he played a lot of golf. he lived his life in florida. >> he wrote a book, "if i did it." he cut a rap song that was pretty -- >> all of which suggests that being ...

Suggesting that o.j. simpson would lead a better life in prison than out with his family. thats a little bit incomprehensible to me. hes been away from his family for nine years. hes 70 years old. he deserves an opportunity to reunite with his family and to be given a second chance. thats what this country is all about. thats what the parole system is all about is giving second chances to those prisoners that demonstrate that they are ready for a second chance. >> let me say something about his ...
