Simpson dies down something happens that brings him back into the public eye.<\/p>\n<p>Simpson is serving a 33-year sentence in Nevada after being charged with numerous felonies, including armed robbery and kidnapping, stemming from an incident at a Las Vegas casino hotel room in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>But now, the\u00a0popular\u00a0limited series on FX &#8220;The People v.
