The 70-year-old looks to have at least $400,000 waiting for him in pension
After spending nearly nine years in prison, disgraced American football star OJ Simpson -- who was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife and her friend but later jailed for armed robbery -- was granted parole. However, the 70-year-old looks to have at least $400,000 waiting for him thanks to his NFL pension.
Also, Simpson reportedly has $5 million in contributions to a retirement plan run by the Screen Actor's Guild, according to news reports. A four-member parole board in the western US state of Nevada voted unanimously to free the Simpson after a public hearing broadcast live by news networks. Simpson, who was emotional as the decision was announced, could walk free as early as October 1.
Simpson was found not guilty in 1995 of the grisly murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in a racially charged case that transfixed US and became known as the "Trial of the Century."
But, he was sentenced to a minimum of nine years in prison and a maximum of 33 years for his role in a robbery at a Las Vegas resort. Agencies
