Everything you need to know about OJ Simpson's parole hearing

Here's everything you need to know about OJ Simpson's parole hearing, which will take place today at 1 p.m. ET. Why is he behind bars? Simpson was found guilty in 2008 of armed robbery, kidnapping and other charges. The case involved a confrontation over sports memorabilia. Simpson was acquitted of all criminal charges in the 1994 killing of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman. What happens if Simpson is not granted parole? If he's not granted his release, another parole hearing will be set at a future date between 1-3 years later. Simpson has a good chance of being released, according to the AP, which reported that no one is expected to oppose his parole Thursday. The release could happen as soon as October. Simpson is inmate No. 1027820 at Lovelock Correctional Facility in Lovelock, Nevada, a medium-security facility about 90 miles northeast of Reno.
