0 make most readers blush. >> it's extraordinary. this delegation from the u.s. congress just came back from guantanmo and they say detainees have access to books and movies and one says the 50 shades books are requested more often than the koran. i'm not buying it. thanks for watching. >> cnn newsroom starts right now. we're following breaking news here in the cnn news room. we just severed word from the nevada parole board granting o.j. simpson parole. ted is joining ounce t ining us. tell our viewers what is happening with the former nfl star. >> reporter: he has been granted parole and one might think that means he's getting out of prison but that's not the case. he's been granted parole on some of the charges. the current charge on the robbery that he was serving. however, starting october 2nd he begins serving other charges. he will likely spend four more years in prison. this will reduce the amount of time he spends in prison but this was expected. he'll not be getting out of prison because of it. still on the table is a motion for a new trial that a judge in las vegas is still mulling over. they're awaiting her decision over the next week or two expected. that is where o.j. simpson's lawyer believe he has a good chance of getting out of prison if she grants him a new trial. he's been in prison for five years for that robbery attempt and kidnapping in a las vegas hotel room. he went in to get his memorabilia from two of his old cohorts and spent the last five years in prison. he remains in prison. >> one of the reasons they site for this decision to grant him parole are his positive institutional conduct, participation in program, lack of prior conviction history and he has consecutive sentences yet to serve. i just want to be precise in what the board said. the parole of o.j. simpson becomes effective when he reaches his eligibility parole date of october 13th. after that date he will begin serving the 12 month minimum term on four concurrent 12 to 72 month sentence impose for using robbery and kidnapping. he will be seen by the board in 12 months for parole consideration on these four sentences consecutive to these four enhancement sentences. bottom line from all of that is that even though he will be eligible for parole on october 2nd of this year, he's still going to stay in jail for what another four years unless there's another change. >> unless there's another change. i just got off the phone with his attorney. this was expected that he would be granted parole. two weeks ago he met with the parole board via a video conference and he talked to the board at length and said he is a prisoner of counsel. his record is clean. they expected he will be granted parole october 2nd. they really had their fingers crossed on this motion for a new trial to be litigated during the spring. they think he does have chance of getting out of prison when that decision comes down in a few weeks. for now he does remain in prison for at least the next couple of years unless he's granted more parole. yes he's on parole but he's not getting out of prison. >> not getting out yet but i'm sure he and his attorneys are encouraged by this decision. he's 66 years old. obviously all of us remember the trial back in the 90s. he was found not guilty of killing two people including his wife and other individual in los angeles. how is his health right now? you were in the courtroom. you saw him up close. >> he's aged. he's put on some weight like anybody. he's aging. there's been rumors he's suffering from horrible health. according to his attorneys he's just fine. he's aged maybe more than the normal person because frankly spending time in a nevada prison is hard on anybody but they say his health is fine. he's very much looking forward to getting out. he has regular conversations with his family and his children. he's very positive this hearing in the spring did prove his case for a new trial. a new trial is one thing but getting out is another. the he's granted a new trial he will likely be released. he's already served more times than prosecutors wanted him to on this case. there was a deal for just two years which he turned down. he's been in prison for five years. if he gets a new trial he'll be out. >> you say we should know within the next few weeks if he'll get a new trial. >> we should. the judge has had this now for a couple months. we anticipate she will release her findings one way or another within the next two weeks. the good news from o.j.'s standpoint is he'll hear from a couple of weeks. >> nevada parole board giving o.j. parole. that's the headline but he's not out yet. if he gets a new trial there's no doubt he will be out of bail. >> one would think so because he have granted bail throughout the first trial and as was established by this decision today he's been a model prisoner. one would assume if he's granted a new trial he would be out on bail and likely released from charges. >> all right. we'll stay on top of the breaking news. o.j. simpson getting paroled on some counts as early as october. we'll see what happens with this new trial if he's out of jail any time soon. we'll stay on top of this. thanks very much. we'll take a quick break. there's lots of other news happening on the cnn newsroom including the latest developments on anthony weiner. there's new developments on that in new york. stay with us. ñó5wó ñw?ñçñññw?ñçó]ç9wjyó
