O.J Simpson walks out of Nevada prison after 9 years

O.J Simpson was released today from prison after serving 9 out of the 33 year sentence he received. People probably remember this once famous athlete/star being acquitted of one of the most famous double murder trials in American history. There was and still to this day a lot of controversy over O.J's acquittal. Many people (predominately white citizens) thought O.J (black man) killed his ex-wife and her friend. The case turned into a matter of race and divided the country on this matter. Now, for O.J's crime he was actually convicted for was for stealing his own memorabilia. There is speculation that his lengthy sentencing was "payback" for getting away with murder essentially. The question is, what will O.J do now?
