Later this month, OJ Simpson's case will go to a parole board in Nevada for review on a portion of his 2008 indictment for the kidnapping and armed robbery of two sports memorabilia retailers.
But according to USA Today, the former footballer-slash-actor has an ice cube's chance in hell at gaining freedom, even if he is allowed parole.
The NFL Hall of Famer was tried for 12 criminal counts and given a nine to 33 year-long prison sentencing after he kidnapped and robbed two purveyors of sports collectibles in a Las Vegas hotel room. Since his conviction, he has been serving at Lovelock Correctional Center, located in Pershing County.
OJ Simpson will face the parole board on July 25, according to USA Today.
According to information released by the Nevada Parole Board on their website, the board will hear Simpson's parole request for his kidnapping charge.
But 66-year-old OJ was granted a handful of sentences for his crimes, and he must serve a few of these sentences consecutively, which means that he has to finish serving before he starts serving for the other charges. He also might have to be paroled on just a few of the charges.
According to Nevada Parole Board spokesperson David Smith, OJ will not attend his trial in person, but will be on a video conference call instead. Two panel members will decide his fate-only OJ, his legal representatives and victims will be allowed to testify.
"Once they get through the hearing, the panel will deliberate and make a recommendation to the full board," Smith told USA Today.
The board will not make a final decision that same day, but if they do pass him through for parole, seven other panel members will be notified immediately.
In May, Simpson's legal representatives Patricia Palm and Ozzie Fumo said that their client needed another day to testify because his ex-lawyers blew his case due to a conflict of interest.
