The former football great has been fighting for a new trial of the armed robbery and kidnapping case that landed him in prison years after he famously escaped a conviction. Heâs serving up to 33 years for leading a group of men who attacked two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint at a Las Vegas hotel in 2007. Simpson maintains he was only trying to retrieve personal items he believes were his and stolen. Simpson, who is eligible for parole in 2017, filed a new appeal just last week.
Simpson is currently in prison due to a 2007 arrest. As reported by the Washington Post, Simpson was arrested in September 2007 on multiple felony charges in the armed robbery of a Las Vegas hotel room involving sports memorabilia allegedly stolen from Simpson's own collection.
