O.J. Simpson's parole hearing means he could be out of jail within months

O.J. Simpson could be a free man within months if his parole bid is successful later today.

After nearly a decade behind bars, Simpson, 70, faces a ‘good chance’ of walking, according to legal experts.

The former NFL star is nine years into a nine-to-33-year sentence after being convicted in a 2007 kidnapping and armed robbery at a Las Vegas hotel.

But Simpson is best known for his infamous 1995 acquittal in the grisly murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in what was known as the “trial of the century.”

If paroled, Simpson could be released as early as October, a spokesman for the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners David Smith said.

Simpson has been described by authorities as a ‘model prisoner’ at Lovelock Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison in the Nevada desert.

“Simpson has stayed out of trouble there,” said Brooke Keast, spokeswoman for the Nevada prisons system.

“We haven’t heard much from him.”

Today’s parole hearing comes amid renewed interest in Simpson’s story, which has been explored in the award-winning documentary “O.J.: Made in America” and the FX true-crime drama “The People v. O.J. Simpson.”

And if the parole hearing goes his way, it has been reported that producers are keen to line O.J. up for his own reality show or documentary if a parole hearing in July goes his way.

The hearing will be broadcast live on television and, if successful, Simpson could be freed as soon as October 1.

Broadcasters ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, HLN and ESPN will all screen the hearing.
