OJ Simpson claims he wanted to testify at his first trial,

CAN'T KEEP ME OFF THE

The jury that will sit in this Santa Monica courtroom is likely to have a
different experience from the the first. They'll hear from
Simpson, his good friend Al Cowlings, the driver on the low-speed chase. And
from one of Simpson's main accusers, Nicole Simpson's friend Faye Resnick.
But Simpson says he's confident this jury will see the evidence the same as
the first.
OJ SIMPSON: THESE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN AMERICA THAT WASN'T
INFECTED BY THE MEDIA, YOU KNOW. THEY SAW THE FACTS, IN THE COURTROOM. THEY
DIDN'T GET THE SPIN. THEY SAW THE FACTS IN THE COURTROOM.
And what, according to Simpson, were the crucial facts?
OJ Simpson: I'LL MAKE THIS STATEMENT. YOU CAN SAY
THEY FRAMED AN INNOCENT MAN OR YOU CAN BELIEVE THEY FRAMED A
GUILTY MAN, BUT THE ONE THING YOU CANNOT DEBATE IS THAT SOMEBODY
TRIED TO FRAME ME.
ERWIN CHEMERINSKY, UNIV. OF SO.C LAW CENTER: THE KEY TO THE CIVIL
TRIAL IS GOING TO BE SIMPSON ON THE WITNESS STAND. AND I THINK
IT WOULD BE AN ENORMOUS MISTAKE FOR ANYONE, INCLUDING THE
PLAINTIFF'S LAWYERS, TO THINK THAT HE IS GOING TO BE EASILY
DEVASTATED OR DESTROYED ON THE WITNESS STAND.
Convincing the jury is one thing. A skeptical public is something else.
OJ SIMPSON: I TRULY DON'T BELIEVE THIS TRIAL IS GOING TO CHANGE ANYBODY'S
MIND ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, NO MATTER
HOW IT TURNS OUT. I REALLY DON'T SEE IT.
