(CNN)A Nevada parole board has granted O.J. Simpson parole after the former NFL star apologized, said he was a model prisoner, and promised that he'd have no conflicts if released."I've done my time," he said. "I've done it as well and as respectfully as I think anyone can."Simpson has served nine years of a nine-to-33-year sentence for an armed robbery and kidnapping in Las Vegas in 2007. He is expected to be released as early as October.

Now 70, Simpson appeared alert, engaged, and quick to smile, letting out a hearty laugh when parole board Chairman Connie Bisbee accidentally said he was aged 90."I feel like it," he said, laughing.
 Still, at the parole hearing, he deflected responsibility for that Vegas crime and said he was misled by associates around him, who he said then turned on him in court.
 "Unfortunately, they got a get-out-of-jail-free card when they said 'O.J. told me (to do it),'" Simpson said. "Nothing I can do about that."
