LAS VEGAS, NV - MAY 15: O.J. Simpson (L) has one hand freed from his handcuffs as he returns to the witness stand to testify after a break in an evidentiary hearing in Clark County District Court May 15, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Simpson, who is currently serving a nine to 33-year sentence in state prison as a result of his October 2008 conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping charges, is using a writ of habeas corpus to seek a new trial, claiming he had such bad representation that his conviction should be reversed.

After nine years in prison, O.J. Simpson’s parole hearing will take place today in Nevada at 1 PM EST.
In September 2007, Simpson was sentenced to a minimum of nine years and a maximum of 33 years after being found guilty of robbing two men in Las Vegas for of sports memorabilia. Simpson famously claimed that the items were originally his and he just wanted them back.
Simpson was granted parole on five of his charges: burglary, two counts of kidnapping, and two counts of robbery.
