Christie and co-host Craig Carton started the show talking about Simpson's hearing in the Nevada robbery case Thursday, during which Simpson said: 'I've basically spent a conflict-free life'.
By turns remorseful, jovial and defensive, he heatedly insisted the items he and five others took during the armed robbery in a Las Vegas hotel room in September 2007 were "my stuff". "I'm troubled that he's out free getting a second chance". We'll "probably never see that. never get the justice", Fred Goldman said. Craig Arnett, a former guard at Lovelock Correctional, described Simpson as a model prisoner. "I've done it as well and respectfully as I think anybody can", he told the board.
Simpson lost a civil judgment in 1997 for their wrongful deaths and was ordered to pay the victims' families $33.5 million. "Simple as that. I don't think he is worthy of the right to be out amongst decent people", he stated.
O.J. Simpson once thrilled crowds as he ran for touchdowns and hurdled airport seats in auto rental ads to achieve Hollywood celebrity before he was acquitted of murder in the 1995 "trial of the century" in Los Angeles.

Phobos is covering an very bad lot of ground for 22 minutes, since it clocks a full lap of Mars in just 7 hours and 39 minutes . On August 17, 1877, astronomer Asaph Hall at the US Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. had discovered the Mars moon Phobos.
An electrifying running back dubbed "The Juice", Simpson won the Heisman Trophy as the nation's best college football player in 1968 and went on to become one of the NFL's all-time greats. "I believe Mr. Simpson believes he can make a bunch of money by returning to the memorabilia circuit", said David Cook, collections attorney for the parents of Ronald Goldman.
Instead, Zimbalist said, "he could live a wholesome and productive life by working with children, giving motivational talks that talked about this struggle in life and how he has reformed himself". He was behind bars since 2008 in Las Vegas.
"As of right now, we he will remain in a special housing unit with the only people around him being mainly officers, and whether or not we will transfer him somewhere else in the future just depends on the situation". ABC will have live coverage of Simpson's parole hearing today at 1 p.m. Now, she said, she wants the parole board to remember that "his go-to is violence and to not be respectful of the law that gave him his freedom".
Simpson, 70, will ask four parole board members who sided with him once before to release him in October, a likely possibility with his clean prison record.
