Former NFL running back O.J. Simpson was granted early release and discharged from parole stemming from a 2007 robbery case.
Ken Ritter of the Associated Press reported Simpson was discharged effective Dec. 1 following a hearing before the Nevada Board of Parole.
He was rewarded with good behavior credits, and his lawyer, Malcolm LaVergne, said "Mr. Simpson is a completely free man now."
As Ritter noted, Simpson has a lengthy history of legal issues.
In 1995, he was acquitted of two counts of murder in the 1994 killing of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her partner Ron Goldman.
