After 25 years living under the shadow of one of the nation's most notorious murder cases, O.J. Simpson says his life has entered a phase he calls the 'no negative zone.'
He continues to believe his conviction and sentence for trying to steal back his own memorabilia were unfair but says,"I believe in the legal system and I honored it. I served my time."
His time in the city hasn't been without controversy, however. A month after his release an outing to a steakhouse and lounge at the Cosmopolitan resort off the Las Vegas Strip ended in a dispute. Simpson was ordered off the property and prohibited from returning. He plays golf almost every day and said he is a member of a club of"retired guys" who compete with each other on the golf course. The knees that helped him run to football glory at the University of Southern California and with the NFL's Buffalo Bills have been replaced and he recently had Lasik surgery on his eyes. But nearing his 72nd birthday, he is otherwise healthy.
He also visited relatives in Louisiana, he said, and spoke to a group of black judges and prosecutors in New Orleans.
