OJ Simpson a 'completely free man'; parole ends in Nevada

Associated Press / Dec. 14, 2021

LAS VEGAS (AP) — O.J. Simpson is a free man.

The 74-year-old former football hero and actor, acquitted California murder defendant and convicted Las Vegas armed robber was granted good behavior credits and discharged from parole effective Dec. 1, Nevada State Police spokeswoman Kim Yoko Smith said Tuesday.

“Mr. Simpson is a completely free man now,” said Malcolm LaVergne, Simpson’s lawyer in Las Vegas.

Simpson had told parole officials before his Oct. 1, 2017, release from prison that he planned to move to Florida.

He instead moved to a gated community in Las Vegas, where he plays golf and frequently takes to Twitter to offer opinions about college and pro sports, especially football.

According to the link, the original parole discharge date was set for Sept. 29, 2022. That date had been moved up for good behavior to Feb. 9 over the summer. Nevada Board of Parole granted his early discharge after a Nov. 30 hearing, cutting his term by about three months for good behavior.
