OJ Simpson is conditionally released after nine years

Former US football star OJ Simpson was released from a prison in Nevada where he served a nine-year sentence for armed robbery.

Simpson was sent to serve a prison sentence in Nevada after being charged in 2007 for armed robbery, an assault with a deadly weapon and another 10 other acts.At the hearing in July of this year, he was granted early provisional release.

In 1995, Simpson was also charged with the murder of her ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goodman.At a civil court hearing two years later, he was found responsible for the murders and was ordered to pay compensation to the families of victims in the amount of $ 33.5 million.

The lawyer of the Goldman David Cook family said that the amount of the ruling almost doubled with interest at more than $ 65 million and said the family would continue to seek payment.
