OJ Simpson is set to walk free from prison exactly nine years into his 33-year sentence.
A parole board hearing scheduled for the week beginning July 3 – six days before his 70th birthday – is expected to recommend his release, based on good behaviour.
Experts believe the board will vote to release the fallen sports star at the earliest possible date of October 3.
It would be nine years to the day after he was sentenced to 33 years for a string of charges, including armed robbery and kidnapping.
US magazine Sports Illustrated claims he has amassed a new fortune while sitting in his shared 125sq ft cell thanks to his huge NFL pension, which reportedly pays him almost £20,000 every month.
That adds up to
£240,000 a year and will amount to a £2.16million fortune by the time of his anticipated release.
Under America’s Employee Retirement Income Security Act,
the pension cannot be touched by creditors, despite Simpson owing almost £27million.
