The Nevada Department of Corrections released a new mugshot of O.J. Simpson. It shows the 68-year-old former NFL star with grey hair and surprisingly smiling. This is Simpson’s first mugshot since 2013.
Simpson is currently serving a 33-year sentence for armed robbery. In 2007, he tried to steal memorabilia by breaking into a Las Vegas hotel room. An official told ABC News that the new mughot was taken to keep their records updated.
Simpson is best known for the “Trial of the Century,” which ended with him being found not guilty in the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Ron Shipp, his longtime friend, told The New York Daily News last week that he believes Simpson will confess to the murders.
“I hope one day he actually will rid us of all the doubt and all the conspiracy theories and say ‘sorry I cannot go to prison (because of double jeopardy laws), but I am sorry I did it,” Shipp told the Daily News.
Simpson’s life is the subject of ESPN’s O.J. Simpson: Made in America, a documentary series that starts on Saturday.
