Talks of OJ Simpson released from prison

OJ Simpson could be released as early as October 2017.

Who could forget Nicole Brown Simpson (OJ Simpson's ex-wife) and Ronald Goldman (Nicole Brown Simpson's friend) being murdered in Los Angeles, CA in 1994? Then there was that chase when OJ Simpson was driving the Ford Bronco and the cops were on his trail. Then there was a verdict that involved a botched OJ Simpson trial that lead to OJ Simpson getting off when the words "Not Guilty" verdict in 1995. I remember watching this verdict on TV with my classmates in English class when I was a Junior in high school. A lot of people were shocked because there was enough evidence to convict OJ Simpson. Lastly, there was the robbery that OJ Simpson committed when he was in Nevada in 2008. OJ Simpson served 9 years in prison for the crime that he committed. 

What would have made a lot of people happy if OJ Simpson would have stayed in prison longer. People do not believe OJ Simpson is innocent. In fact, OJ Simpson is being pardoned not because OJ Simpson is a Senior Citizen at 70 but because OJ Simpson was a famous football player that the state of Nevada felt that OJ Simpson served enough time. Frankly, OJ Simpson would have been put away a long time ago had the outcome of the verdict of the Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman murders would been a guilty verdict. Johnnie Cochran's statement, "If the glove don't fit, then you must acquit!" perhaps was the worst thing that you can say when there is evidence to convict someone of murder and that persuaded the not guilty verdict. Talking about something that if you could have done differently, the whole OJ Simpson trial would have been handled differently if it was not for the botched trial. OJ Simpson being granted parole is likely to make people who were relieved that OJ Simpson was in prison to feel uncomfortable now that a murderer and a robber could be released in October 2017.
