Former NFL great turned criminal, O.J. Simpson, has issued a plea for clemency to President Obama, claiming he may have brain cancer and should be allowed to leave his Nevada jail cell and go free.
The 66-year-old is currently serving a 33-year sentence for kidnapping and robbery.
But he’s being tested for a tumor on his brain to determine whether he has cancer — and he’s convinced that he’s due to die any day now, The Mirror News reported.

Kardashian....dead, Johnny Cochran....dead.....Bailey...disbarred.....and I wouldn’t buy a toothpick from Robert Shapiro, much less Legal Zoom.
“Kardashian....dead, Johnny Cochran....dead.....Bailey...disbarred.....and I wouldn’t buy a toothpick from Robert Shapiro, much less Legal Zoom.”
And Robert Shapiro’s son died of a drug overdose. So all of them touched by death. Payback’s a bitch, isn’t it.
Yes, that works for me and the turkey is only eligible for parole in 2018, doesn’t mean he’s going to get it, especially in NV.
I'll believe it when it's in the pathologists report in his autopsy. He can rot in prison until that happens.
Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman could not be reached for comment.
Hmmmm, OJ Simpson out of prison, with a brain tumor, and nothing left to lose. Great idea OJ!
If he dies before he finds the real killers, they’ll get away with it forever.
I believe OJ should be released and be given a 50-yard head start at my rod and gun club.
Even thought his knees are shot and he’s way overweight I’d cut the head start to 30 yards.
That's
Maybe, but he wouldn’t have that smirk on his face this time. ;-)
I didn’t know that flaglady47...(about Shapiro’s son)....I forgot to mention that jury and clownish judge too and after much soul searching that prosecution and DA’s office didn’t help either. The missteps in this case were overwhelming, IMHO.
I agree. Let's order the autopsy immediately.
Hey, O.J., you’re now in touch with the real killer and its inside you, killing you. Such a pity...NOT.
Hey OJ Die already. We will keep looking for the real killer (not).
Free Nordberg!
First, the criminal trial was moved from Santa Monica, where the crime took place, to downtown Los Angeles, which gave Simpson a much better jury pool to work with.
Second, the best attorney for the prosecution was Bill Hodgman, who had stress related cardiac issues during opening statements and was pulled off the case.
Marcia Clark and Christopher Darden were competent prosecutors, but they lacked the prime time skills needed to manage a trial with international courtroom coverage.
Vincent Bugliosi, who prosecuted Manson, and Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard professor, both wrote books after the trial, and both stated that Clark and Darden were incompetent.
Brain cancer? That shouldn’t take long.
Oh yes, I was going to mention the trial being moved downtown but I got tired of typing...lol. Anyway Darden and Clark were out of their league...Marcia put on a good case with the DNA but Darden and the glove thing was a big mistake. The defense walked all over them. The juror they let go I have no doubt would have at least hung the jury but that’s a moot point now. The witness that saw OJ speeding down the street about the time of the murders wasn’t called because she talked to a tabloid. It was an (un)comedy of errors plus a goodly portion of jurors had no business on a jury of any kind. I just hope Simpson isn’t allowed to get out of prison except through the back door in a body bag!
