E! News reports that Orenthal James Simpson has been granted parole after serving 9 years in prison for armed robbery. Simpson will be released from his Nevada jail as early as October 1st. Just in time for Halloween! Simpson had this to say at his parole hearing:
"I do have four kids. I've missed a lot of time with those kids. I think I'm a guy who's always been a giving guy—even on the street. People have always come up to me. My reputation has always been that I'm open to the public. I'm open to everybody. Right now I'm at a point in my life where all I want to do is spend time with my children and my friends."
I've done my time. I've done it as respectfully as anyone can...I've not complained for nine years...I want to get back to my kids and my family...I'm not a guy who lived a criminal life. I'm a pretty straight shooter...I have no problem, none whatsoever, in living with those conditions.
Wherever we've been, it's always a crowd. This is not new to me. [But] rarely—even in the last 20 years—rarely have I ever had people give me any negative stuff in the street…I've basically spent a conflict-free life. I’m not a guy that ever got into fights on the street with the public and everybody...I'm pretty easily approachable. I've dealt with it my whole life, and I really don't see any problem dealing with the public at all."
