BREAKING: O.J. Simpson Wins Release

What’s happening now

For the past eight and a half years, Simpson has been the most famous inmate inside Nevada’s Lovelock Correctional Facility. Here’s a glimpse into his time there:
  • His behavior: “Simpson has stayed out of trouble there,” said Brooke Keast, spokeswoman for the Nevada prisons system. “We haven’t heard much from him.”
  • His diet: When Simpson first entered prison, he ate junk food (like cookies, ramen noodles, and sticky cinnamon rolls) and gained a lot of weight, ex-guards said. But in recent years, he’s gone on a health kick and lost weight.
  • His nicknames: Guards sometimes call Simpson Nordberg (after the bumbling police officer he played in the “Naked Gun” movies), one of his friends said. Another nickname? Bobble Head, because “he’s got a big head,” one ex-guard said.
  • His hobbies: Simpson plays fantasy football games (and often won), coaches softball and watches TV on his 13-inch flat screen (largest size that prisoners at Lovelock can buy), ex-guards said.

BREAKING: Simpson wins release

The parole board members who voted for Simpson’s release cited his support in the community and stable plans after life in prison.

The decision was unanimous: Four out of four voted for release.

Behind the scenes as Simpson waits

As he was waiting for the parole board to make their decision, Simpson sat with the people around him and talk. CNN’s cameras are there.

Here’s who’s in the room with him now:

  • His attorney, Malcolm LaVergne
  • His daughter, Arnelle Simpson
  • His sister, Shirley Baker
  • His friend, Tom Scotto

Now, the parole board deliberates
