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.
Instead, it was a 2008 incident that resulted in a guilty verdict of armed robbery, kidnapping, and 10 additional charges that landed Simpson in jail, according to the New York Times. Just how many years, you ask? According to the Las Vegas Sun, 33 years in prison without the possibility of parole for nine years.
