Former football star O.J. Simpson, who has served five years behind bars, has cleared the first hurdle for his release from prison.
The state Parole Board announced today that it is paroling Simpson, 66, from his sentences for kidnapping, robbery and burglary. But he still has a minimum of four years to serve on other weapons charges resulting from his Las Vegas conviction.
In 2008, Simpson, along with others, entered the hotel room of memorabilia dealers Bruce Fromong and Al Beardsley at Palace Station in Las Vegas. He said he wanted to reclaim items stolen from him.
At his parole hearing, Simpson said he has made peace with the dealers and has put the incident behind him.
