62. He is in prison for an action directly related to his civil trial conviction.

Jan 2014

Simpson conspired to hide thousands of valuable memorabilia items with friends in order to avoid complying with a court order that he turn over assets to the Goldmans as payment for the death of their son.

One of those "friends" claimed he was given hundreds of those items. The "friend" then authorized a dealer to sell those items he claims he was given. Simpson is in prison for robbing the dealer while his accomplices held them all at gunpoint. The California courts also should have charged Simpson with lying about his assets.

Prisoners often die in prison from illnesses while serving their sentences. Absolutely NO clemency for this horror of a person.
