O.J. Simpson is not letting prison stop him from having a bash. The former NFL player hosted a Super Bowl celebration with his friends in his cell on Feb. 3 at Lovelock Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nev.
The 65-year-old Simpson is one of the few inmates who have an actual television set the 80-square-foot room. Inmates can buy a TV at the facility's store and since he has the money he did, said Norman Pardo, producer and friend of Simpon in an interview with The New York Post.
"He's like the Godfather of the prison now," Pardo said.
Simpson watched the big game between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. He was a running back for the 49ers between 1978- 1979.
Aside from his football career, Simpson is notoriously known for being acquitted of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman murders in 1994. In October 2008, he was charged with assault and kidnapping at a robbery in Las Vegas, for which he's sentenced to 33 years in the Nevada prison.
The robbery, which he led, took place in 2007 at the Palace Station hotel and casino. Simpson and his accomplices robbed sports memorabilia by force and he admitted to it on account that the merchandize was actual stolen from him.
He'll be eligible for parole in nine years. TMZ also reported Simpson also owes $515,000 in unpaid taxes to the government between the years 2007 to 2011.
Currently, Pardo is keen to selling a movie appropriately title, "Unpromotable," a personal point of view story about what it took to restore Simpson's image after the overly publicized murder trial in 1995.
The O.J. Simpson murder trial was perhaps the most publicized trial in U.S. history. O.J. was not found guilty of the murders, but was ordered to pay $33.5 million to the victims' families and event that is still due.
