After nine years, former football player O.J. Simpson was released from prison Sunday morning. Simpson was released in the middle of the night to avoid media attention.
Simpson wanted to return back to Florida with his family but, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi tweeted “Our state should not become a country club for this convicted criminal.” Pam Bondi said that Simpson wasn’t allowed back in Florida causing him to rethink plans.
“We understand we may have to take him, if he was a model prisoner. And two of his children live here, so that’s his hook for coming to Florida,” state Attorney General Pam Bondi said. “If we have to accept him, I certainly want conditions placed on him.”
State Division of Parole and Probation Capt. Shawn Arruti told The Associated Press that the former football hero and celebrity criminal defendant plans to live at a home in the Las Vegas area for the foreseeable future. Arruti declined for what he said were security and privacy reasons to disclose the exact location of the house.
We’re glad Simpson is out, free and safe.
