A bulging disc or herniated disc (also known as a ruptured disc) is the result of pressure upon a intervertebral disc that results in a protrusion from the disc. A bulging or herniated disc can be the result of injury, wear and tear upon the spine from natural aging, or degenerative disc disease.
Simpson was sentenced to nine to 33 years in Nevada state prison but was granted parole on some convictions in July, meaning he must serve at least four more years locked up.
The families of the victims filed a civil suit against him, and in 1997 a civil court awarded a $33.5 million judgment against Simpson for the victims' wrongful deaths. In 2007, Simpson was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada, and charged with felonies including armed robbery and kidnapping. In 2008, he was convicted and sentenced to 33 years imprisonment, with a minimum of nine years without parole. He is serving his sentence at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada.
