JUSTICE: OJ Simpson Gets Brutal, Life Altering News... His Chickens Are Finally Coming Home To Roost In what remains one of the most controversial trials of the century, Orenthal James Simpson was acquitted of murder charges more than a decade ago. Now, the former NFL star is serving a prison sentence for numerous felonies, including armed robbery and kidnapping. It hasnt been smooth sailing for Simpson behind bars. Hes reportedly deep in money trouble, and is suffering from an injured knee that makes it impossible to walk without a cane. Simpson is worried that if he isnt allowed to get the surgery he needs on his knee, he might have to leave prison in a wheelchair. I can only get mediocre healthcare in here, Simpson reportedly told an inmate. And it really pisses me off because I have the money to go to any specialist in the world to get knee surgery but they wont let me leave to get help. They dont give a damn that I am going to end up crippled and cant walk for the rest of my life. The injury has also had numerous effects on the former football stars health, including excessive weight gain. O.J.s weight is definitely a factor and putting more stress on his knees but he also has advanced arthritis, an inmate told reporters. The prison staff will not allow him to leave the prison in order to receive the treatment, he argued. I wont be out of here for at least another two years and if they wont let me get to a specialist soon I may never walk again, he reportedly said. Simpson is not the only prisoner who has denied access to a non-life threatening surgery. Most of the time if a patient gets a recommendation from a doctor to have surgery but it is not life-threatening, the prison will deny that request, the source told Daily Mail. Clearly Simpson does not understand that hes not entitled to the same luxuries he had before prisonand elective surgery is one of those. What do you think?
