OJ Simpson has been granted parole on some of his convictions that have kept him in prison for nearly five years already.
The former NFL star was convicted in December 2008 on charges including kidnapping, robbery, burglary and assault with a deadly weapon.
He was sentenced to nine to 33 years for the 2007 attack on two memorabilia dealers, Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong, in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Simpson appeared before a two-member parole panel last Thursday to plead for leniency. He expressed regret for his actions and said he has tried to be a model inmate while behind bars.
The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners on Wednesday released an order approving Simpson's parole request.
