UPDATE:
O.J. Simpson has been granted parole, which means he'll be out of jail as soon as October.
Original Story below:
You will be hearing about the possibility of O.J. Simpson getting out of jail in the coming months, but he may not be in jail for the reason you think.
Simpson is not in jail for the murders of Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ron Goldman (a jury found him not guilty of those charges), but for several charges stemming from - and including - an armed robbery.
Simpson is serving a nine-to-33-year sentence after attempting to get back pieces of his college and NBA memorabilia. Simpson and some associates were tried and convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
