O.J. Simpson Gets Parole Hearing, Could Be Released From Jail This Year

O.J. Simpson could be released from jail as early as before the end of the year. 

Simpson is set to face a parole hearing this July after almost a decade behind bars. The actual date of the hearing won't be set until mid-June. 

In 2008, Simpson was sentenced for burglary and kidnapping charges. He has since been serving 33 years in a Nevada prison on those charges. Ironically, his sentencing is unrelated to the two murders that he was famously acquitted for 13 years earlier -- the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. That case has remained open and Simpson cannot be retried for the murders.

Simpson was found liable for the killings in a 1997 civil case.

In 2013, Simpson was granted parole on some of the charges against him in 2013, but he faced at least four more years in prison on sentences that were ordered to run consecutively.

Simpson could be released as early as October, depending on the results of the July hearing, officials have said.
