in front of a parole board. he's arguing why nevada state parole commissioners should release him from prison. "the juice"...has been behind bars on armed robbery charges for eight and a half years. he was sentenced to a maximum 33 years, minimum nine years for his role in an armed robbery case that happened in a las vegas hotel back in 2007....involving sports memorbilia. while many have their mind made up about simpson's crimes ...past and present...the parole board...has no idea what they are going to do. (sot) the parole board i can assure you has not already made up their mind on what they're going to do they're going to listen to what mr simpson has to say if the victim is here they're going to listen to that they're going to review any reports from the prison any reports mr. simpson has if he is paroled.any disciplinary action that he has had. o.j simpson will be talking with the board through a video confernce call. the hearing is expected to take about an hour. (grant) and stay right here for extensive c

we're waiting from the decision from the parole board. stay with us while we wait. the former defense attorney for o.j. simpson is with us. tried to get a new trial for him after the vegas robbery conviction. he attended simpson's last parole hearing. we have a photo from that. your thoughts today, ozzie? >> i think he did pretty well. when they asked him what he was thinking when he went into that room, i'm thinking he wasn't thinking. what he was there to retrieve wasn't sports memorabilia. whatever came out during the 2008 trial was that they had faxed him a picture of his dead daughter. that's really what set him off. he was there to collect those kind of photos. his parents family album, things like that. i'm glad that was partly cleared up. i think he presented well. he looked like he lost a ton of weight from the last time i have seen him. overall, a great presentation by malcolm and him. >> ozzie fumo stay with us. sportscaster, jim, your thoughts? >> well, you know, it's just shocking to hear him say the following words. i wrote this down. no one ever accuse

so, you know, i think the chances are very good this parole board will weigh the evidence as they didhave already granted parole in five of the -- i think 12 matters that were before the parole board that he was convicted of. they already granted him parole in five of those counts. he wasn't eligible for these counts until today. and so i think chances are very good that he will be a free man october 1st. >> again, as we're having this conversation, a live look there inside the room where those parole board members will be hearing from again o.j. simpson 10, 15 minutes from now, he will appear via video conference. si cynthia, based on what we saw and hear from simpson back in 2013, at that parole hearing, what do you surmise we minor league hear from him today? >> he's going say he's sorry. he said it in 2013. he'll say it again today. that's something that the parole board will want to hear, that he wished he had never engaged in this, that he regrets he did it, that he's asked for forgiveness from the victims, that they in fact gave him forgiveness, which from all accounts they did

there's a lot of digression in the parole board. one thing we heard today. there's a lot of people saying he's going to get paroled. pretty confident he's going to get paroled based on his prison record. based on the fact that he has expressed remorse. and especially since you have a unique situation here. you have a victim of the crime advocating for his release. so that's something. but one thing he didn't do that we learned today is these programs that he promised to complete in his 2013 parole hearing, he didn't complete all of them, and it's now 2017. so that's certainly a factor that the parole board is going to take under consideration. trish: why would they want to give him parole, gregg? >> well, they might want to get rid of him. this has brought unwanted attention to the state of nevada, you know, and it's going to happen every time he comes up for parole, which would be a regular event. lots of media attention, and they receive continuing criticism that the trial judge was too harsh during the sentencing, giving him up to 33 years behind bars. but

simpson in front of a parole board. he'll be arguing why nevada state parole commissioners should release him from prison. "the juice" has been behind bars on armed robbery charges for eight and a half years. he was sentenced to a maximum 33 years, minimum nine years for his role in an armed robbery case that happened in a las vegas hotel back in 2007 involving sports memorbilia. while many have their mind made up about simpson's crimes past and present the parole board has no idea what they are going to do.<> (tiffany) o.j simpson will be talking with the board through a video confernce call. ( james ) and we will have continuing coverage of the parole hearing all morning long. kron

and we heard from the head of that parole board that there would be some conditions attached to this parole. you're quite familiar with parole there in nevada. what can you tell us about these conditions and what we will likely see? >> the parole board did what they said they were going to do. she said it was important for them to be consistent and that's what happened. and i understand the passion and bias that people bring to o.j. simpson, but the parole board made a conscious decision to follow the statute. they had a risk factor list that they used, and i thought it was a for gone conclusion from the very beginning that they would follow that list and grant mr. simpson his release on the part october 1st. >> john q. kelly, you're still with us here. i want to come back to something that you said earlier. have you decided, has the estate decided whether they are going to take any additional action to try and secure any of the millions? >> craig, the estate has never taken any action except for like a month after the civil judgment was entered. we executed for the estate on rocking

early release by a parole boards in nevada at just a few moments ago this twenty years. after the world watch simpson acquitted of his ex wife's murder. once again the legal proceedings were shown on live tv either now seventy year old american football star. pleading his case earlier. malcolm turned. often that we can go to you at night a bay right now sigh as she joins us live. from los angeles and i obey ask he's been granted parole and i've. how did you manage to convince the parole board because he's tried and failed once before hasn't i? he asked but this time around oj simpson had a lot in his favor first of all. he did serve the nine year minimum of the thirty three. year maximum sentence for that crime that he committed out where it was an armed robbery case in las vegas. another thing that he had in his favor is that in those nine years you had good behavior he had actually. not one case. ugly i am any wrongdoing as an inmatee also counseled other inmates he coached at the gym. he took classes of and he also was very sympathetic to all of the. cr and all and th

i believe that the parole board got it right. i think it's listening to some of the comments and things that were said, you know, people respect the jury verdict. and they respect the parole verdict. i think that he has shown them everything we expect out of a prisoner. he's met every criteria for release. and the board specifically said that they would not consider external influences in their mission statement to do what's just and right in this specific case. i believe they did that. i am pleased with the outcome and the result. >> shepard: the people armed in this instance, they got probation from the very beginning. but o.j. simpson with no prior convictions got put away for nine to 33 1/2. was that because he was the organizer or was there something more to this? >> well, there were two things. he wassed off, i was in an interview with the prosecutor who prosecuted the case, mr. david roger. there was an offer to do approximately 30 months. on this case rather than nine years. again, it's just nearly impossible to say we all

it is nevada's parole board who are hearing this application. ple in nevada i saying he does have a good chance of parole. he has been in prison after a botched attempt to steal mementos from his sports career at gunpoint. that is why he has been injail career at gunpoint. that is why he has been in jail and career at gunpoint. that is why he has been injail and that is career at gunpoint. that is why he has been in jail and that is why he is applying for parole. there are four parole commissioners meeting to hear this application and they are supposed to decide oj simpson's fake on the basis of factors including his age, his conduct in prison and whether his release would pose a threat to public safety. it is thought he has got a pretty good chance apparently of getting parole. so, there we are, oj simpson on the right of the picture, as that application for parole continues. if we get a result on that from the father, we will bring that to you. ten years ago, torrential summer downpours left large parts of the country under water, as the rain w

what you're looking at here on our screen is four commissioners of the parole board and as this playsut, they will have to be unanimous in their decision iei deny parole. if not unanimous, they bring in others to get a majority vote out of seven commissioners. there needs to be four of seven to -- at least four out of seven to either deny or grant o.j. simpson parole. danny, as we look at these commissioners here, and we've seen, i think, certainly one of them i've seen before. how are members here of the parole board going to decide whether o.j. simpson should go free? what do they consider? >> a lot like a jury. we don't know how they deliberate, but i can tell you nevada is a very, very well-defined system tore deciding whether or not a parolee could be high risk or low risk. in this case it's true. o.j. simpson scores pretty well in factors like his age. older people it's shown do not commit as many crimes. he's participated in prison, stayed out of trouble. good for him. on the other hand, he still committed what is considered in nevada a high and possibly even the highest level

i think it did stand in doubt, and even the game system that the nevada parole board has needs four people unanimous. if any of them disagree, it went to the full board and then he could have lost. >> but whether you thought -- when i watched the whole thing and i remember exactly where i was when i was watching this whole trial play out that you were covering. >> you were a child. >> i was in high school but i remember very clearly, and whether you thought the glove fit or not, watching him today and watching, i forget, one of you referenced some of the softballs from the commissioners, you know, did you get the sense that any of them were almost star struck by him and does that affect -- >> we know that one was a kansas chiefs fan. >> i still have to -- >> as he pointed out. >> the guy -- the parole board member who was wearing the black shirt had a kansas city chiefs tie on. now, it is true that o.j. was a star for the buffalo bills. >> you're not a chiefs fan. you keep bringing this up. >> it would have been even more significant had it been a buffalo bills tie or he played at the end

board. i will let you know that that consistency also goes to parole. and we do not look kindly upon parole violations, and if i cast my vote to grant and it concludes the hearing, our expectation would be that you not violate even the simplest condition of parole. having said that, i am prepared to cast a vote. i am prepared to ask the commissioners to set conditions. if that happens, we will produce an order sometime in the next 15 to 20 minutes that will be faxed to you or presented to you at the institution, and it will become a public record. so based on all of that, mr. simpson, i do vote to grant parole when eligible. and that will conclude this hearing. >> thank you. thank you. >> holding up good too, man, all these years. >> and there you have it. 70-year-old oj simpson granted patrol there in nevada in that robbery case for which he has spent the better part of the last nine years of his life. simpson will return to his prison cell for now. we are told october 1 is the earliest that elwahe will walk of that prison a free man. love lock, nevada

parole board said they received hundreds of letters from people on both sides arguing both for and againstinst release constantly pointerred out according to the board that they didn't want him to go because of the brutal murders nicole brown simpson and ronald goldman. but in the end, they decided that he was low risk. he's 70. he has no gang affiliations and that they would indeed grant him his freedom. it won't happen immediately. it will most likely happen sometime in october. guys? >> will carr live for us in nevada. thank you so much. >>> it's been now two years since zion harvey became the youngest person to successfully have a double hand transplant. the operation took place in july of 2015 at children's hospital of philadelphia. he was eight years old and he lost both his hands to an infection when he was just a toddler. well now two yours later, he's able to write, feed himself, dress and with his new hands his journey was documented in a medical journal report that was published on tuesday. congratulations to him. >> pretty amazing. in i know. great stuff. i saw little video of

earlier today you said the parole board probably wasn't wrong to grant him parole. you were critical of some of the statements he made. >> i was. it's been a long time. i thought i was sort of over the whole thing. but just to see him there, justifying his behavior, mouthing the words i'm sorry it happened. but trying to justify what he said -- what he did for which he was arrested, but then even worse, to describe himself as someone who had led a conflict-free life, when he was a convicted domestic abuser, when nicole brown simpson had called repeatedly to 911 for the violence that he imposed on her, putting aside the murders for which he was acquitted. i just thought that was so indicative of someone that doesn't think domestic violence is a real crime. and i just was totally, totally offended. >> mark, to jeff's point, it was interesting, he kept saying he was sorry for what happened as though it was a thunderstorm that just happened as opposed to for what i did. but you thought it was a slam dunk he'd granted parole. >> yeah, i didn't think there was any doubt g

the nevada parole board granting parole from prison on the the 70-year-old.s next for the former football star? sara sidner has more from carson city, nevada. >> reporter: christine and miguel, the hearing got off to a slight start when the chairwoman of the parole board made a mistake and said o.j. simpson was 90 years old and then corrected herself, reminding him he was 70. everyone laughed. then things got quite serious. o.j. simpson spoke for himself. so did one of his friends and his eldest daughter. they all testified. some of the things simpson said were self-aggrandizing. how great he was in prison. how he led a conflict-free life. some of those things disputed if you look at his history. >> i've done my time. i've done it as well as respectfully as i think anybody can. i think if you talk to the wardens and them, they'll tell you, i gave them my word. i believe in the jury system. i have honored their verdict. i have not complained for nine years. all i have done is try to be helpful and encourage the guys around me, hey, man, do your time. fight in

visibly relieved simpson thanked the parole board after all four members voted in favor. of his release. >> do you think you can be successful with the terms of parole? >> i'm not a guy who lived a criminal life. you know, i'm a pretty straight shooter. i've basically spent a conflict-free life. >> reporter: the now 70-year-old inmate apologetic when asked about the vegas kidnapping and robbery that landed him behind bars but at one point defensive. >> so you believe that the property was yours? >> it's been ruled legally by the state of california that it was my property, and they've given it to me. >> reporter: and just like that day two decades ago, reaction to the ruling came quickly. >> everything that happened 20 some odd years ago is irrelevant. >> i keepdz of feel like he deserved nine years and maybe longer. >> reporter: speaking at the hearing, simpson's oldest daughter and one of his victims who made a plea on his behalf. >> this is a good man. he made a mistake, and if he called me tomorrow and said, bruce, i'm getting out, will you pick me up, juice, i'll be h

getting paroled you have to remember you are speaking to& member of the parole board who mike said we not judges and you have to give kudos to the parole process when you are trying to get paroled. when asked what the highlight of your incarceration was to say well, listen i have participated in the programs, offered to me by the jail, by the incarceration system that was a smart move on his behalf >> do you agree. first of all two specific programs that the parole board asked him to take that he didn't take. he had to answer no, i didn't, no i didn't twice. secondly for him he led a conflict free life is repugnant to me. parole board trying to determine whether this guy should be assimilated back in the society. dozens of times police were called to his house including one time he tried to beat nicole brown simpson with the baseball bat, beside civil jury found he almost decap rated. he should have just said knock nothing. he would have been better off. >> is issue that is not supposed to be brought up because they are only talking about what is surrounding the robbery. >> i agree wi

>> i don't think the parole board looked at o.j.'exaggeration or what some might say is a delusional statement as something they would call a lie and it would have disqualified him. in his mind he certainly thinks he led a conflict-free life. on any objective criteria, he, of course, was involved with conflict for many year, not only back to domestic violence but even with an altercation in fla. to take classes. can you tell us a little bit about that course? >> the alternative to violence course he believes should be mandated for every prisoner. he believes it's life-changing, he learned a lot from it, and he's a changed person. the future remains to be seen if that is a true statement. >> that is correct. rickki klieman, thank you very much. >>> coming up we'll talk with fred and kim goldman, ron's father and sister. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." >>> there's a confrontation. the president just lost two members of his legal team. others are looking for ways to push back against robert mueller's investigation which is now looki

he had been a model prisoner, they said, and the pa role model prisoner, they said, and the parole boardrior conviction of rimmel activities. you are a low risk to reoffend on our guidelines. based on all of that, mr simson, i do vote to grant parole when eligible. over 20 yea rs grant parole when eligible. over 20 years since the sensational acquittal it is clear that 0.j. simpson hill commands an audience. millions of americans tuned into his pa role millions of americans tuned into his parole hearing. but support may be fading. one recent poll suggests that only 7% of americans now think that only 7% of americans now think that the fallen star is not a killer. but it is the decision of the parole board matters and as soon as october one, the man many believe got away with murder could be set free. bryan graham is the deputy sports editor of guardian us. he has been covering the oj simpson story. thank you very much forjoining us here on bbc world news. what is the reaction been like in the us? well it... the 0.1. reaction been like in the us? well it... the o.j. simpson story all over

board. you need a majority to get parole. there is one vacancy on the board so there's only six on the board. he needed four of the sticks to get the parole. two worked here. they were connected by telephone. the four parole board commissioners bear voted unanimously as i expected they would. the reason is the rules. the reason is the law. the fact that oj is a criminal, the fact that oj, you know, is a serial abuser of women and everything else has nothing to do with the fact of the last nine years behind the correctional facility, he was a model prisoner. they had to let him go. >> eric: judge, is there any way he can capitalize on his fame now that he's technically a freeman? >> jeanine: no. >> eric: so -- he's got a pension coming from the nfl. >> jeanine: he is entitled to his pension. he is entitled to the money streams he's getting, but once he tries to profit off the story of the murder of his wife and ron goldman, he doesn't get it. >> eric: the o.j. simpson reality show having nothing to do with the murder. it's his

if the parole board rules in his favor, o.j. simpson could be free as early as october. w, fox5 will stream live coverage of simpson's parole hearing. that will happen at 1 o'clock this afternoon on fox5dc.com. also on our fox5 d.c. face page. fox5 d.c. youtube channel and on the fox5 d.c. news app. >> time right now is 5:02. we continue to follow the latest news from arizona as senator john mccain and his family consider a course of action to treat his brain cancer. the 80-year-old has as glioblastoma. it is the same cancer as former massachusetts senator ted kennedy. mccain learned of the cancerous tumor after a four hour surgery to remove a mood clot. the tumor was removed in that surgery and despite diagnosis fellow senator jeff blake expects his colleague to make a full recovery. >> i assume he's going fight it like he's fought everything. and he -- i mean, i can't imagine the senate without him. i came back here in 1987 to do an internship in the senate. he was here then. he's been here, you know, my entire political career and i just -- i mean, he is the senate. an

it's not something that legally the parole board can consider. r, prior criminal history actually was a mitigating factor and o.j. simpson's parole hearing yesterday because a fact of the matter is, he does not have a prior criminal history and using that term the way the parole board used it means you do not have any prior convictions. >> heather: wasn't he convicted of beating up nicole brown? they responded to his home multiple times i think it was in 1989 specifically when she was hospitalized. >> he wasn't convicted criminally. >> under the law, he doesn't have a prior criminal conviction to that. the question is whether were not he should be let back into society and his comments, not his conduct, but his comments in his conduct yesterday are white, from my perspective, are compelling reasons not to let him back in, to say that he's lived a life free from conflict, not true. to argue that he didn't know that guns are being used in the underlying crime, not true. ed was a lie, he continuously lied. >> heather: on top of that, what about not f

i will get to that in a second.today those on the parole board said that the decision to approve simpson's parole came down to several key factors. he had no prior convictions before this case, a positive record in jail including programs he was involved in, support from the victim, and family support. the board said today that simpson has requested to live in florida. that request will go to officials there. they will then have 45 days to approve or deny the request. meanwhile simpson will be finishing out his term. today the nevada department of corrections warden was asked about simpson's safety in jail in his last few months.so can he request any special treatment or protection. he could make that request but he would have to provide some sort of evidence to base that request off of. because he talked about it today in the hearing. that prisoners have a tendancy to do things for stupid reason so if someone had it out for him and wanted to jeopardize his parole.they have had nine years to do that hahahaha.(j.r.)will florida allow simpson back? officials say in cases where the person has

oj was in front of this very same parole board in 2014.s granted parole on five of the 12 charges, but he was not eligible for release. at that time, he showed remorse for his crimes and sadly he was a model prisoner. if he has granted parole, his former attorney has some advice for the 70-year-old oj. >> if he goes back into the public eye and he starts doing the nightclub scene and book signings, and all the other things that he's been photographed and reported on doing, trouble will follow him and he will get in trouble again. >> if since mendoza win today, he would not be able to walk out of this prison behind me until october 1st at the earliest, there are several factors that the parole board must consider. they have to look at the seriousness of the crime, that 2007 crime in that case a botched robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers and a las vegas hotel. they will consider his age and how he's acted these past nine years in prison. simpson has kept a clean record, a low profile with no discipline handed out, but the board also m

parole board was going to do. he was confident, he was redefiant. reliving the case. >> one might even say cocky. >> do you think he could have compromised his ability to reach parole? >> i think the way the rules were set up, that parole board had no choice but to parole him. and let's just put on the table, nine years for this crime is a long time. i think the parole board did what it needed to do. but o.j. simpson said he lived a conflict-free life. >> everyone remembers immediately the sounds of nicole brown simpson screaming for her life, on a 911 call. >> and the photographs of her, the testimony of her sister saying she was in fear for her life. nicole said over the years, he someday is going to kill me. that made it hard to swallow. >> the road ahead, a couple things. the parole board can set conditions that if you violate, you're back in jail. >> he will have two parole boards. if he goes to florida, which is his preference, his house there was put up -- was taken from him, essentially. if he goes to flor

what led to the decision today by the parol board? factors. and this is the order granting parol that we've all looked at and there were six crimes he was still serving time for. many of them including use of a deadly weapon. and o.j. simpson said to the parol board, it wasn't me holding the gun, although in the trial, it was clear he knew that there were people who had guns in this, but they look at all sorts of things. testimony from o.j. himself, they listen to testimony from a friend of his, testimony from his daughter. his attorney read a letter that he had written to a legislator here in nevada. ultimately, they made their decision that o.j. simpson will be released from prison. here's what o.j. said to try to plea his case. >> i've done my time. you know, i've done it as well and as respectfully as i think anybody can, i think if it you talk to the wardens, they'll tell you, i've been -- i gave them my word, i believe in the jury system. i've honored their verdict. i've not complained for nine years, all i've done is try to be h

that will be up to the parole board. they will do with that incident and whether they will let it affect it. i don't think they should. i think he should get out. we've got to keep ow system as pristine as we can. interestly enough, the judge who tried the case was a tv reporter become lawyer become judge. and then this goes on. i think it was wrong what she sentenced him to. he shouldn't have gotten more than two years for that. >> do you think this endangers oj? >> i've got to tell you, it is interesting. the public and celebrities, we are a forgiving society. people will see him and react positively for the most part. there will be some that will talk to him and chat it up. he will have to stay away from any type of confrontation. i assume he may have some body guards doing that, if he can afford that. will people pay attention? absolutely. a lot will be forgiving. oj, can i get an autograph. >> does that surprise you? >> no. that what we're like. >> does the same parole board decide where he gets released to, in flor

he had been a model prisoner, they said, and the parole board agreed. o prior conviction of criminal activity. you're a low risk to reoffend on our guidelines. so based on all of that, mr simson, i do vote to grant parole when eligible. over 20 years since the sensational acquittal, it's clear that oj simpson still commands an audience. millions of americans tuned into his parole hearing. but support may be fading. one recent poll suggests that only 7% of americans now think that the fallen star is not a killer. but it's the decision of the parole board that matters and as soon as october 1st, a man many believe got away with murder could be set free. well, bryan graham is deputy sports editor with the guardian us and is covering the trial. i asked him what the reaction has been to oj simpson's release. well, it is the oj simpson show all over again. it is the longest running reality show for decades and here we are again. it was dominating the news cycle. it was the only story that could rob a bleak it trump out of the headlines and here we we re trump

four for four of those parole board commissioners all unanimous in their decision to grant o.j. simpson parole. so he will be a free man as early as october. just a quick note before jeffrey toobin, we get your two cents. what you were listening to before then was o.j. simpson getting picked up on a hot mike over at lovelock correctional facility talking about mullets and mike tyson and donald trump. and i don't know if they realized they were live. that said, jeffrey toobin, free man. >> well, i mean, i can't say i think the board was wrong, given the standards they had to apply. i just think that o.j. simpson gave us some really good insights into his character or lack thereof today, and you know, it's just part of our continuing education, i think, in particular, about the way people view domestic violence and the way many people, including especially simpson, simply ignore it and treat it as if it is not a real problem. but i can't say that the board was wrong in what it did. you know, he served nine years, he was a good prisoner. that's what parole is supposed to be. >> let'
