CARSON CITY, Nev. — O.J. Simpson won a small victory yesterday in his bid for freedom as Nevada granted him parole on some of his 2008 convictions for kidnapping and armed robbery involving the holdup of two sports-memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room.

But the decision doesn’t mean Simpson will be leaving prison anytime soon. The former NFL star was convicted on multiple charges and still faces at least four more years.
