Former Buffalo Bills player O.J. Simpson has served nine years in prison for a robbery stunt in Las Vegas back in 2007, but now he is one step closer to going home. On Thursday, a four-person parole board unanimously voted to let Simpson out in October. A spokesman for the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners says the board stated the reasons for granting "The Juice" his parole -- he had no prior or minimal criminal conviction history, he had a positive institutional record, he had participated in programs specific to addressing behavior that led to his incarceration, he has stable release plans and community and family support, and the victim in the case testified in favor of Simpson's release.
