OJ Simpson has been released from a Las Vegas jail on parole after serving nine years for armed robbery.

The former American football star was sentenced to a maximum 33 years in jail for a botched raid of sports memorabilia from a hotel room.

He said the items were images of his family and friends and were later handed over to him by officials after it was decided they legally belonged to him.

Simpson, 70, was famously cleared in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in a case that drew worldwide attention and became known as the "Trial of the Century".

A civil court jury subsequently found him liable for the deaths and ordered him to pay $33.5m (£26m) in damages to the victims' families, a judgment that remains largely unpaid.

The Hollywood actor was sent to prison in 2008 for his role in an armed robbery the previous year.

He won his freedom after a Nevada parole board hearing this July.

I believe he killed his wife, but I see nothing wrong with him being released on parole for the crimes for which he was found guilty.
