The board said it had received hundreds of letters in support of, and opposing, Simpson's parole. That much more high-profile case returned to public attention a year ago when two prestigious TV projects dug into the trial and the attention it commanded.
Simpson said he had apologized to one of the memorabilia dealers, who was a friend, and that his apology had been accepted.
Simpson, 70, was granted release in a parole hearing Thursday that was livestreamed from Carson City.
Simpson told the commissioners that he's missed 36 birthdays with his children while behind bars and missed their college graduations, and if he was to be paroled, he said he wants to spend as much time as he can with his family.
At a parole meeting in 2013, Simpson spoke out about what happened - and said he regrets the events that occurred in 2007.
Simpson appeared to wipe tears from his eyes after Fromong offered to pick him up from prison, if granted parole. I had no intent to commit a crime.
Neither Simpson or anyone present at the hearing discussed the 1995 "trial of the century", in which he stood accused of stabbing Goldman more than two dozen times and of cutting his ex-wife's throat so deep that her head was almost severed from her body.

He said he would like to get back to his family and friends.
Shirley Baker then began hugging Simpson's daughter Arnelle, the eldest of Simpson's four children, who also testified on his behalf, saying: "We recognize that he is not the flawless man", while adding that he had been "a ideal inmate, following all the rules and making the best of the situation".
But it was a Las Vegas robbery that ultimately sent Simpson to prison, when he caught wind of some of his personal - and allegedly stolen - personal property being sold off. Simpson gathered some men together and burst into the hotel room where the items were being displayed, and took them back. "We really do, we want him to come home and I know in my heart that he is very humbled throughout the situation".
Mediaite founder and ABC legal analyst went after a friend of OJ Simpson who called it a "great American delusion" to believe that The Juice was responsible for the deaths of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown.
Reaction to Simpson's release was mixed.
- Charles M. Blow (@CharlesMBlow) July 20, 2017OJ: "I'm going to try to be a better Christian". "I think it's disrespectful to their memories to have comments like this being made, suggesting that the case was all a fraud".
"I've done my time". "He is a good man, he made a mistake". Simpson was still ordered to pay $33.5 million (29.1 million euros) in damages in a 1997 civil lawsuit.
