After being imprisoned since 2008 on a dozen charges including kidnapping, assault and armed robbery, O.J. Simpson is up for parole.

O.J. Simpson was once a great football player for the Buffalo Bills. In1973, Simpson became the first player in NFL history to rush for more than 2,000, and remains the only player in league history to do so in a 14-game season.

Unfortunately, that’s not what Simpson is remembered for by the American public. In 1994, Simpson was seen fleeing from Los Angeles police in a white Ford Bronco, threatening to kill himself as the drama unfolded on live television. Simpson was eventually arrested and charged with the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend, Ron Goldman.

Ultimately, after the most high-profile court case in American history, Simpson was controversially found not-guilty. Many still believe Simpson was guilty, fueling the story to continue being a taking point more than 20 years later.

In 2008, Simpson was convicted of a litany of charges in connection with a Las Vegas robbery, with the former Heisman Trophy winner trying to take back memorabilia. Simpson was convicted and sentenced to 33 years in prison, with a chance for parole in nine years.

Simpson’s parole hearing has predictably been big news, and ESPN is trying to capitalize on the proceedings. On Thursday, Simpson will appear with the hopes of being set free, and you can watch it on the Worldwide Leader.
