Now that he’s free (he’s on parole, but still), he dreams of playing golf in Florida. Isn’t that the dream of all criminals who get away with murder? A cushy retirement?
However, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi isn’t interested in O.J. coming to her state. She actually wrote a letter to the Florida Department of Corrections secretary, arguing against O.J.’s plans for possible relocation.
We are well aware of OJ’s scofflaw attitude & our state should not become a country club for this convicted criminal https://t.co/iRSeKlj14F pic.twitter.com/47IhL5CeBx

In the letter, she details Simpson’s “disturbing history of arrests and destructive behavior,” including him pleading no contest to spousal battery charges in 1989, which occurred, “prior to causing the gruesome deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman in 1994.” Simpson was acquitted of the killings.
Bondi cited a state law she said allows Florida to deny relocation permission to out-of-state parolees. She said if the state corrections department finds Simpson is allowed to relocate then he should be subject to the “most stringent and secure conditions of supervision.”
His parole, she said, should include a ban on alcohol and drugs, restricted travel, electronic monitoring and reporting to a parole officer in person.
Get a load of this statement. It’s awesome.
“Floridians are well aware of Mr. Simpson’s background, his wanton disregard for the lives of others, and of his scofflaw attitude with respect to the heinous acts for which he has been found civilly liable,” she stated. “The specter of his residing in Florida should not be an option. Numerous law enforcement officials in Florida agree with this position. Our state should not become a country club for this convicted criminal.”
Heck yeah. “Our state should not become a country club for this convicted criminal.” As a resident of this state, I couldn’t agree more. Plus, we already have Casey Anthony. We don’t need another remorseless loser around here.
Simpson’s attorney is super mad and called Bondi “quite possibly the stupidest person on the planet.”
Florida AG quite possibly the stupidest person on the planet. Simpson can and will move to Florida. None of your business. M. https://t.co/AKfYILjMVI

Florida AG has super low approval ratings. Took money from Trump and looked other way on Trump U fraud claims. Will get beat in primaries. https://t.co/AKfYILjMVI

Florida AG had 70 days to comment on Simpson move. Realized opportunity to score political points. Will lose her seat next year. M. https://t.co/AKfYILjMVI

Feel bad for the poor young attorney who had to corrupt their soul to promote Florida AG’s political agenda. Will lose next year big time! https://t.co/AKfYILjMVI

I feel like he’s trying to channel his inner Trump.
Simpson fully plans on relocating to Florida. We’ll keep you updated on his whereabouts.
