Hot mics and neckties: Shareable OJ Simpson parole moments
The world watched live as O.J. Simpson convinced a Nevada parole board he should be released after spending nine years in prison for a Las Vegas hotel heist.
Many pointed to his 1995 murder trial in Los Angeles, though he was acquitted, and a raft of allegations that he abused his wife.
Among the things discussed were cookies, ice cream, President Donald Trump and former Associated Press Special Correspondent Linda Deutsch, who covered Simpson's double murder trial.
Simpson's lawyer read aloud a letter Simpson wrote to a state lawmaker who was his former attorney, largely focusing on the benefit of education behind bars.
Social media took note of parole board member Adam Endel's choice in neckwear: a Kansas City Chiefs tie.
The team's Twitter account responded to a Sports Illustrated tweet about the fan fashion with an emoji-filled post, essentially saying his tie game was on point.
Simpson played for nine seasons for the Buffalo Bills and is 1968's Heisman Trophy winner, an award for best college player that was represented on another article of clothing in the hearing room — Fromong's black polo.
