Nevada Parole Board can take prior convictions into account & under a provision entitled "aggravating factors," the board members can consider "other information" that may allow the board to seek an inmate a risk to public safety if released on parole & Simpson has a violent & lawless past:
"The parole board can consider prior convictions in determining whether Simpson might be a recidivist criminal. He was convicted of beating his wife in 1989, so that may be examined. However, since he was acquitted in his famous double murder trial in Los Angeles in 1995, it does not technically count as a prior offense.
Nevertheless, there is another way the parole board could apply the double murder against Simpson, even though he was found “not guilty.” Under the provision entitled “aggravating factors,” board members can consider the following:
“… other information… that concerns the Board that the inmate may be a risk to public safety if released on parole.”
In other words, the board is entitled to conclude that releasing Simpson would pose a threat to society because of his established propensity for violence. The decision can be based on reliable information and evidence such as court proceedings and judgments.
Indeed, the parole board could take judicial notice of the verdict in 1997 by a civil jury in the wrongful death case brought by the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The jury unanimously found that Simpson committed the brutal killings, awarding the plaintiffs $8.5 million in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages.
On this basis alone the Nevada board members should deny Simpson parole.
Simpson has a long and frightening record of violence: beating his wife, cutting his ex-wife’s throat and nearly decapitating her, stabbing Goldman more than 30 times, then later committing armed robbery and kidnapping.
Simpson is an inherent danger to society and it is too risky to let him walk free. "
