After months of legal wrangling a nevada parole board unanimously granted simpson parole calling him a model inmate. One of the people encouraging release was the victim of the crime himself who said it was time for simpsons time in prison to be over. He never laid a hand on me. We all make mistakes. Oj made his. Hes been here and from what im told hes been a model inmate. Hes been an example to others. I dont feel that hes a threat to anyone out there. Reporter as for what comes next, even though the attorney general of florida says simpson isnt welcome in the sunshine state, simpsons Attorney Says he still plans to move to florida where his family lives. Hes obviously, like i said, hes got to go back and reestablish himself in society. Hes got to resume his relationships with his family, his friends and hes just basically got to lay low.
