for an armed robbery sentence in nevada. good afternoon, i'm kenny choi. now at noon, oj simpson granted parole after serving nearly nine years for armed robbery in nevada. good afternoon, i'm kenny choi. >> i'm michelle griego. cbs reporter chris martinez is live in carson city where the parole board just decided simpson's fate. chris. >> reporter: michelle and kenny, this was a unanimous vote by this parole board. they needed a majority of seven, four sitting in today.

all four voted to grant him parole. this is exactly what a lot of folks were expecting to see today. there wasn't a lot of doubt that he was not going to be granted parole. here he is coming up on his ninth year serving a prison term for this crime that he committed about 10 years ago or so. what happens now is they look ahead to the actual release of oj simpson. he cannot leave prison until october 1 at the earliest. and then there are questions about what will happen after that. he spoke today to these commissioners, this board, rather, he talked about the crime at length which was something people really weren't expecting to happen. and then did he what a lot of legal experts said he needed to do he showed remorse. he said he was sorry and apologized to the victims and the state of nevada and then they also heard from simpson's oldest daughter and also the victim of the crime who both

spoke in support of his release. so simpson said if he was going to be able to leave he would like to move back to florida. that now becomes the focus certainly for him and his family is how does that happen? because once he is released, assuming it will be on the october 1 or shortly thereafter, now we have to deal with the probation guidelines and there are going to be some very strict guidelines. they say he will be followed very closely. he has to check in with probation. they have to get an agreement between nevada and florida to actually allow him to move back there. so there's a lot of things here that are still murky in terms of what happens next. what we know for sure is that as of october 1, oj simpson will be allowed to leave prison a free man. >> chris, you just said we heard from simpson, daughter, friend and victim and the attorney. which testimony do you think was the most effective for simpson? >> well, certainly legal

experts say that there were two things that were very helpful here. this parole board needed to hear. one was remorse from simpson several times. he was the most important voice they heard from today but also hearing from the victim of the crime, the victim saying that he has forgiven oj simpson, that he doesn't think oj simpson is a dangerous person or a danger to anyone and he supports his being allowed to leave prison. so those two especially, of course, probably weighed heavily for the board. >> all right, chris martinez in carson city, thank you. switching gears now a wildfire burning out of control west of yosemite national park is threatening thousands of homes and forcing evacuations. we have team coverage on this fire. first kpix 5's katie nielsen on the latest on the firefighting efforts. katie. >> reporter: more than 3,000 firefighters are working around the clock to get control of the detwiler fire, which grew

on the fire lines. firefighters from san francisco left for mariposa county just after 1:00 this morning. crews from marin and san rafael fire departments are helping, as well. all day today firefighters will be dealing with more heat and wind which is making that fire extremely unpredictable. for more on that let's go to roberta gonzales. katie, the weather has not been very helpful at all. in fact, it's been a beast and these winds will increase during the sunset hours again today. now, this is the very latest as far as the weather impact is concerned. at the surface we have light winds, but it's pushing the smoke towards mariposa. daytime high today at 94 degrees. relative humidity into the teens. upper level winds are carrying the smoke from nevada into idaho, smoke in the sacramento valley. very poor air quality in throughout these areas.

over plans to buy storage terminals in the east bay. as kpix 5's anne makovec reports, california's attorney general is speaking out on his belief that the move would lead to higher gas prices. >> reporter: the attorney general set up his news conference today in front of this valero gas station to emphasize that its normal drivers they are trying to protect. valero owns this refinery in benicia but wants to expand, buying petroleum terminals in martinez and richmond. california's attorney general is trying to block the move, filing an antitrust lawsuit saying if the sale is approved, all petroleum terminals in northern california would be controlled by refineries raising concerns about competition and the possibility of higher gas prices. >> we believe this is not only critical for california's consumers, but it is indispensable to keeping competition, the basis of prices of gasoline throughout

apart from the pit? the juice is incredible. they might be the most nutritional of all summer fruits loaded with nutritional value. they are a super food! they are also great on the grill. but when they're this sweet and small, i don't put them on the grill. i break them open in half and i just enjoy them. and i'm tony tantillo, your fresh grocer. nd always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy.
