OJ Simpson could be a free man this year, after almost decade in jail

The Juice, now 70, is serving his time at a mid-level correctional facility outside of Reno, Nevada.

In 2008, the former NFL legend turned actor was convicted on a range of charges, including armed robbery, conspiracy to commit a violent crime and kidnapping, related to a 2007 incident at a Las Vegas hotel where he and several other men confronted memorabilia dealers and demanded mementos that Simpson claimed were stolen from him.

His conviction on the charges follows the so-called "trial of the century" in the 1990s when he was acquitted of the brutal murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. He was later convicted of the killings in a civil trial and ordered to pay more than $33 million to the families of Brown and Simpson.
