O.J. Simpson may have been granted probation but he isn’t home free yet.
According TMZ.com, following Thursday’s hearing, Simpson was removed from the general popular to special housing for his own safety. With Simpson’s release date still more than three months away, prison officials fear fellow inmates will attempt to harm him prior to release in order make a name for themselves.
“It’s in the best interest of O.J. and the prison to make sure that he’s safe and comes out in one piece.”
Specific threats have not been made against Simpson at this time.
O.J. is expected to be released on October 1.
