A buck knife was found on OJ Simpson’s property and is currently being tested. The former football star however isn’t worried, either because they won’t find anything on it or because well even if they do, double jeopardy is in play and he can’t be tried again. He is however worried that the knife can affect his upcoming parole.
Simpson is currently in a Nevada prison serving nine to 33 years for an unrelated robbery and kidnapping conviction. He has heard TV reports regarding the knife, but is “isn’t losing any sleep” over it, according to his former manager Norman Pardo.
“Everybody I’ve spoken with says he’s just ignoring it. He’s not talking about it,” Pardo tells PEOPLE. “When he heard the news on TV, all he did was shake his head, as if to say, ‘Will this ever end?’ He’s definitely shrugging it off and pretty much saying, I’m not going to worry about it.'”
“[O.J.] is a little worried because if it’s one his pocket knifes and, if it’s got his blood on it, that could make him look bad when he’s up for parole,” Pardo explains to PEOPLE.
Simpson will go up before a parole board in November 2017.
“That’s really his only fear. Personally, I think it belonged to a construction worker and fell out of his pocket. Honestly, I don’t think it pertains to anything,” Pardo adds.
