Simpson wins small parole victory on some charges

He also said he’s acted as jailhouse counselor of sorts to other inmates, some of whom are serving time for similar crimes.

But Simpson said his deed was different.

“They were trying to steal other people’s property,” he said of other prisoners. “They were trying to steal other people’s money.

“My crime was trying to retrieve for my family my own property,” Simpson said.

While Simpson remains behind bars, his best chance at freedom lies with Clark County District Judge Linda Marie Bell, who is considering whether he deserves a new trial.

During a hearing in May, Simpson’s current lawyers Patricia Palm and Ozzie Fumo argued his trial attorney, Yale Galanter, botched Simpson’s defense and had a conflict of interest in the case.

Bell has yet to issue a decision. If she rules in Simpson’s favor, prosecutors will have to decide wither to retry him, offer a plea deal, or set him free with credit for time served.
