mr. lavergne and mr. simpson back to the table, please? >> yes, ma'am. >> and mr. u and mr. simpson to make any closing remarks that you would like to make. >> thank you, commissioner, do you have a copy of a letter i provided through your liaison? it's an undated letter from mr. simpson to stableman osvaldo, that should have been provided to you. >> yes, sir, we have that record. >> all right, give me two seconds to get set up here. that's where i'm going to start. did you take the letter? i can't find it now. and the letter as you can see is very short, so i figure it would be appropriate to read it into the record, if the commissioners would allow me to? >> that would be fine. >> okay. but the first thing i have do is find it. here it is. by way of setting this letter up by the way, the most important part about this letter is this is not a letter that mr. simpson provided to me, okay? what happened is mr. simpson at some point wanted me to communicate with an individual by the name of osvaldo fuma, an assemblyman prior to that time, and now an attorney, in the f

mr. lavergne and mr. simpson again and we'll invite mr. fermont into the table, please >> thank you >> thank you >>> all right, we are going to take a quick break here and get some analysis on the cnbc news line co-ho co-host of "did he do it." what do you make so far of this parole hearing and what do you think of the odds that oj simpson is allowed the record that's been made, specifically about disregarding or acquittal of the murder case and the civil judgment against him which of members of the public opinion, expressing their own desires of the desire of this case and outraged by and those are relevant to these proceedings. he's talking about somebody of your average criminal joe smith rather than the jews, it would be a slam dunk that somebody with his record and so forth and would be granted parole. this maybe a case of reverse celebrity justice if he's denied and we have seen that happened in some of the notorious cases as well. >> in your experience, i understand legally those matters, the civil judgment against him in the acquit

lavergne. >> laverge. i appreciate your making that correction. tell us about mr. simpson?ction so in one takes a shot at him or someone takes a last-minute shot. i concurred in that decision and mr. simpson is a very people person, loves people, loves to interact with them. he's always enjoyed unfetter ed freedom from restriction. i asked him what he would like, to get his stay in gen pop or get his parole granted and be restricted for a while. >> have there been threats that are of concern? >> from my viewpoint, yes, there have been threats against him. >> i want to go back to the parole hearing last week. did you cringe when he said, i led basically a conflict-free life? many were upset by that remark especially with the well known documented abuse of his ex-wife nicole brown simpson. >> no, i don't think that was a cringe-worthy remark. if you're look at 70 years, you're looking at a couple of incidents, but for most of his life he's led a really good life as a citizen. >> it was more than a couple of incidents. it wasn't just a couple of incidents. >> yeah. i think it'

lavergne who yesterday knocked down reports that o.j. simpson has plans to visit the grave of nicole brown simpson after his release. some say the thought of simpson visiting insensitive. mrison because he delivered a message to us from his lawyer to clarify that he visited his ex-wife's grave on, quote, countless occasions before going to prison. simpson said it's judgmental to describe he did before his incarceration as insensitive. i think it's good that he wants to clarify that. but his lawyer made it clear he has no plans to go. his close friend had said on national tv that he was going. regardless of how you feel about o.j. simpson, there are a lot of people that still remember ron goldman and nicole brown simpson an feel that he's responsible for their deaths and this is a very difficult time for them. that was the point that they were making, that this is tough to see. >> i didn't know that they should watch "cbs this morning." >> it's good to know they're watching "cbs this morning," wherever you're watching. we appreciate that. >>> the u.s. has been fighting its longest war for more than 15 years. ahead, we look at afghanistan in our series, issues that matter.
