O.J. Simpson, a former college and pro football star, made headlines in 2017 when he was released from prison after serving approximately nine years of a 33-year sentence for a kidnapping and armed robbery incident in Las Vegas.
The incident in question took place in 2007 when Simpson was involved in a robbery at a hotel and casino where sports memorabilia was stolen from two dealers at gunpoint. He was subsequently convicted on charges of kidnapping, armed robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon.
