O.J. Simpson Released From Nevada Prison After 9 Years

Former football legend O.J. Simpson became a free man Sunday after serving nine years for a botched hotel room heist that brought the conviction and prison time he avoided after his 1995 acquittal in the killings of his ex-wife and her friend.

Simpson was released at 12:08 a.m. PT from Lovelock Correctional Center in northern Nevada, state prisons spokeswoman Brooke Keast told the Associated Press.

She said she didn't know immediately where Simpson was headed in his first hours of freedom, adding an unidentified driver met him and took him to an undisclosed location.

"I don't have any information on where he's going," said Keast, who watched Simpson in blue jeans, denim jacket and ball cap signing documents before his release.

Her department released a brief video on social media of Simpson being told to "come on out" by a prison staffer. He responded "OK," walked through an open door and the video then cut to a nighttime street — apparently the prison exterior.
