O.J. Simpson is expected to walk out of Nevada a free man sometime Thursday night July 20. O.J’s attorney, Yale Galanter says, “if he was sitting next to me. I’d say ‘Listen. Be thankful you got out in nine years. Go lie in some small quaint golf community. Stay under the radar, don’t attract any attention and spend as much time you can with your family and your friends with whatever time you have left on this planet and just don’t cause any trouble.” .
