Has religion really changed OJ Simpson?

IT has been said that God moves in mysterious ways but even He might be perplexed by one of the unlikeliest preachers ever to take to a pulpit.

OJ Simpson, the disgraced former American football legend convicted in two wrongful death cases, widely believed to be a double murderer, currently serving up to 33 years for armed robbery and kidnapping, plans a life as a TV evangelist. And as a judge considers his plea for a retrial, the 66-year-old jailbird could be free and preaching on TV by the New Year.

"OJ has rediscovered his faith," says Kenny Saylors, who is making a documentary about Simpson. "Prison has actually set him free."

Simpson prays in his cell every night and his manager Norman Pardo says: "OJ is very religious now and he's been counselling other inmates with Bible studies for months. When I talk to him on the phone all he wants to discuss is religion. He's obsessed."

African-American Simpson has even transformed a "white supremacist" cell mate into an unlikely trusted friend, according to Pardo.
