Prosecutor Marcia Clark Speaks out After O.J. Simpson Granted Parole

Marcia Clark, the former LA Deputy District Attorney who prosecuted O.J. Simpson in his 1995 murder trial, is speaking out about the disgraced NFL star being granted parole.

On Wednesday afternoon, TMZ caught up with Clark. She was immediately asked about Simpson being granted parole after serving nine years behind bars for a 2008 armed robbery. After initially being reluctant to talk with the reporter about Simpson’s parole, Clark changed her mind.

When asked if Simpson had “served his debt to society,” Clark responded by saying: “Maybe on that case.”

After answering the question, Clark parted ways and did not elaborate any further on the topic.

Clark was part of the prosecution team that tried Simpson for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. The two were found stabbed to death in 1994 at her home in Los Angeles.

Simpson was granted parole earlier this month and is expected to walk free from Lovelock Correctional Facility on October 1. When he gets out of prison, Simpson indicated that he plans to return to Florida.

While serving time, the 70-year-old has made over $400,000 from his NFL pension.

The 1995 murder trial was the subject of a series titled American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson. One of Clark’s fellow prosecutors on the case, Chris Darden, recently spoke out about Simpson.

One of the most crucial moments in the trial was when Simpson was asked by the prosecutors to try on the gloves found at the crime scene. He tried them on, but they seemed to not fit properly over his hands. This possibly was due to Simpson flexing his hand causing them to not fit.

In a clip from an Oxygen series called The Jury Speaks, Darden, who was portrayed by Sterling K. Brown in the award-winning FX show, addressed the iconic moment.

“O.J. putting the glove on, that’s the greatest courtroom demonstration in the history of American jurisprudence,” Darden said. “It’s beautiful, if you wanna see it for what it is, which is O.J. doing everything he can not to make the glove fit. But in reality, the way the glove fit on his hand in the courtroom is the way it fit on his hand in the photographs of him on the sidelines at professional football games.”
