CARSON CITY, Nev., July 25 (UPI) -- Former football star and actor O.J. Simpson, saying he has been a model prisoner, Thursday asked Nevada parole officials to shorten his 33-year prison sentence.
During a 20-minute hearing in which he spoke from the Lovelock Correctional Center, about 90 miles from Reno, Simpson said he regretted the crimes that landed him behind bars and asked for leniency, the Los Angeles Times reported.
