He also wanted to apologize not only to the commission but to the people of nevada and heres what he had to say about that. I have done my time. I have done it as well and respectfully as i think anybody can. If you talk to the wardens they will tell you that i gave them my word that i believed in the jury system. I honored their verdict.

Simpson making very heartfelt and emotional plea with his daughter testifying on his behalf as did one of the crime victims that had the gun pointed at him. He testified on behalf of o. J. Simpson being released. The commissioners met for short time, less than 30 minutes to come back with that unanimous decision that o. J. Simpson deserves to be paroled with one caveat from the chair of the commission saying that we take parole violations in nevada very seriously, a shot across the bow that oj, if you violate your parole you could very well end up back in prison. O. J. Simpson could be released from the prison in lovelock as soon as october 1. Ken wayne live in nevada and thank you. The criminal attorney was with us through the special coverage of the hearing, and talk about the next step because any minute he will be back behind bars and hill and how will that change for for the ultimate release here he will be behind bars and they will find out where he will be transferred to and probably back to clark county until october 1. It was powerful from bruce, the victim that said he never laid a hand on him, if you think the commissioners had their mind made up before they stepped into the room before the hearing or do you think those words played a decision . I think they probably had their minds made up in the since there had not been any bad conduct but hearing the fact that it is easier for them to sign off on it hearing from the victim. You talk to your own clients is a criminal defense attorney about turning your life around and taking the opportunities you have been given and how far do you think this decision goes in a racing any mark on the o. J. Simpson name, personal brand and doesnt do much at all . I dont think it does anything at all. This was the trial of the century involving domestic violence, and with prior incidents in respect to his former wife, very sad. There was the 911 call, the dream team with respect to the defense team that did a good job in establishing what they could with respect to reasonable doubt. There was a lot of evidence to respect oj being involved in the crime. The blood on the driveway, and in the bronco, and i dont think this will erase what we see with the past sins of oj because that is not going away. He is been an obsession for the better part of the quarter century and maybe not so much since in prison but does it continue now that he is 70 years old with o. J. Simpson the obsession on where he is or what he is doing . Supposedly he has a magnetic personality and i think people will always be curious about o. J. Simpson because he was such a fixture of our lives and i dont think that will go away. I dont think that will die because i think he will still want the spotlight and he will still be coming into our lives.
