Twitter reacts to O.J. Simpson saying he's lived a 'conflict-free' life at parole hearing.

As O.J. Simpson stood before a Nevada parole board after nearly nine years in state prison, Americans and people around the world stood glued to their screens.The commenters on the ABC News live stream have been extremely unimpressed by Simpson&#39;s performance, his inability to take responsibility for the crimes that resulted in his nine- to 33-year sentence, and his rambling, &quot;relitigating&quot; defense.&quot;He came off as a man that&#39;s not coached by an attorney,&quot; said ABC News&#39; George Stephanopoulos.#OJSimpson: &quot;I&#39;m not a guy who lived a criminal life.
