OJ Simpson is looking forward to eating steak and getting a new iPhone, after his release from prison next week, his lawyer said.
Malcolm LaVergne said he expected his client to be released from a Nevada jail "a few days" after Sunday, the first eligible date for him to be paroled.
Simpson, 70, has spent nine years behind bars following a 2008 armed robbery and kidnapping case.
Mr LaVergne told ABC Simpson wants to see his family and enjoy "the very simple pleasures" of life, including eating seafood and steak and getting a new iPhone.
The former American football star and actor was acquitted of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. He was later found liable for their deaths in civil court.
Simpson plans to live in Florida and play golf following his release.
Mr LaVergne told KTNV-TV in Las Vegas: "He is getting very, very excited. He's feeling very upbeat. He's had perfect performance as a prisoner. I anticipate he's going to have perfect performance as a parolee."
