Think OJ’s got a chance to get out of jail?! NOPE. Even if he’s granted parole in an upcoming hearing, he will still serve more time.
Details after the jump…
Via The Associated Press:
OJ Simpson’s Nevada criminal case goes to a parole board later this month for his 2008 conviction in the kidnapping and armed robbery of two sports collectible dealers.
Simpson was convicted of 12 criminal counts and sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison. He has been serving his time at Lovelock Correctional Center in northern Nevada, about 90 miles east of Reno.
The scheduled July 25 parole hearing comes as a Clark County District Court Judge Linda Marie Bell weighs whether the former National Football League Hall of Famer and Hollywood star deserves a new trial.
During a weeklong hearing in May, Simpson lawyers argued that he deserves a new trial because his previous attorneys botched the case that led to his conviction.
Bell has not yet ruled.

There’s no chance the former National Football League Hall of Famer and Hollywood star will go free — even if parole is granted.
The agenda indicates Simpson’s parole consideration is for the kidnapping conviction. However, Simpson, who just turned 66, was given multiple sentences, some of which were ordered to be served consecutively.
That means he must complete his time or be paroled on some charges before he begins to serve his other sentences.
