Simpson and accomplices robbed memorabilia collectors Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong of nearly 800 items in a Las Vegas hotel room in November 2007, Sports Illustrated reported.

He alleged the pair had stolen items from him.

Simpson receives as much as $25,000 monthly, $300,000 yearly, or $2.7m throughout his prison stay, from his NFL pension.

He is prisoner 1027820 at the 'medium-custody' facility, where he will need to win over four of seven commissioners at his parole hearing, which could occur this summer, and receive a certain number of 'points.'

The 11-point based system in Nevada reflects issues such as gang membership, drug and alcohol abuse and age in assessing parole eligibility and each issue reflects values from -1 to +2.

He would need less than five points to be considered 'low risk.'

The more famous case the controversial figure was involved in pertained to the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.

In 1996, a jury acquitted him in what was widely termed the 'Trial of the Century.'

Recent films such as the documentary OJ Made in America and mini-series The People vs OJ Simpson, in which Cuba Gooding Jr portrayed Simpson, dramatized the dramatic trial which culminated in his acquittal.

Simpson was later found liable for the deaths in a civil suit and was ordered to pay around $33.5m to the families of Goldman and Brown.

Each family claims it has received little of what it is owed.

Simpson has avoided paying through a variety of means including his move to Florida - where a law can block the forced sale of residences.

Creditors cannot attach his NFL pension.
