What to Know About O.J. Simpson’s Parole Hearing As He Could Be Freed

O.J. Simpson will learn Thursday at a highly anticipated parole board hearing in Nevada whether he’ll soon be able to leave prison.

The 70-year-old former football star is seeking his freedom after serving more than eight years behind bars for an armed robbery in a Las Vegas casino hotel room in 2007. However, the case he is better known for is the double murders of his ex-wife and her friend. He was acquitted of that crime during a 1995 trial.
