How to Watch OJ Simpson Parole Hearing Live

 

O.J. Simpson‘s hearing with the Nevada Parole Board is taking place on Thursday at 1:00 pm ET/ 10:00 am PT. Simpson himself will be participating via video conference from the Lovelock Correctional Facility. The Board is expected to make their decision the same day. Watch the hearing live in the player above.

Simpson is currently in prison after an armed robbery at a Las Vegas hotel, where he and others held two men at gunpoint while taking sports memorabilia that Simpson says belonged to him. The former football star has served nine years of his 33-year sentence, and could go free if the Board grants him parole. Just a few years ago, they granted Simpson parole on some of his charges, so it appears likely that he will be freed. If that happens, he wouldn’t be released until at least October 1. If there’s a tie vote by the Board, Simpson would not be let out, and another hearing would take place in January.

O.J. is expected to speak at the hearing, and additional testimony could come from one of his representatives, and possibly a victim in the case.

In making their decision, the Board will take a number of factors into consideration, including his behavior while incarcerated, his likelihood to commit another offense, a report that was compiled pre-sentencing, and any letters in support of Simpson.
