Nothing’s changed, says OJ
after his release from prison
.J. Simpson, whose racially charged 1995 mur-
der trial riveted the nation, said nothing much
had changed after spending almost a decade in
"nowhere USA".
The disgraced American football star was
freed on parole after nine years behind bars for
armed robbery.
The 70-year-old left the Lovelock Correctional
Center in the western state of Nevada just after
