OJ Simpson is a free man.
The 74-year-old former football hero and actor, acquitted California murder defendant and convicted Las Vegas armed robber was granted good behavior credits and discharged from parole effective 1 December, a day after a hearing before the Nevada Board of Parole, Nevada state police spokeswoman Kim Yoko Smith said Tuesday.
"Mr Simpson is a completely free man now," said Malcolm LaVergne, Simpson's lawyer in Las Vegas.
Simpson declined an immediate interview, his attorney said, and LaVergne declined to talk about Simpson's future plans, including whether he intends to remain in Nevada.
He told parole officials before his release from prison on 1 October 2017, that he planned to move to Florida.
He instead moved to a gated community in Las Vegas where he plays golf and frequently takes to Twitter to offer opinions about college and pro sports, especially football.
"Life is fine," he told The Associated Press during a June 2019 interview.
