For the second time on Thursday, Orenthal James Simpson—best known as O.J. Simpson—will go before a parole board from the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada.

Simpson, a football Hall of Famer and former Buffalo Bills running back, is serving a 33-year sentence with an option for parole after nine years for a failed 2007 heist. He and five accomplices were arrested after they sought to take back what Simpson said were stolen goods at a Nevada hotel from two sports memorabilia dealers.
