Former football star OJ Simpson has reportedly been granted parole on some charges rising from his 2008 kidnapping and armed robbery convictions involving the hold-up of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas hotel room.
According to the Independent, although Simpson's parole has been approved, he still cannot leave the Lovelock Correctional Centre, where he has been incarcerated.
The report further said that Simpson was convicted on multiple charges and faces at least four more years in prison.
Simpson appeared before a two-member parole panel last Thursday to plead for leniency, saying that has been in jail for a long time now and should therefore be allowed a reduced sentence.
Simpson had also expressed that his five years behind bars were somewhat illuminating at times apart from being painful and he had missed his two younger kids who had worked hard getting through high school and he missed his sister's funeral.
