((
On his second day of testimony, O.J. Simpson withstood a barrage of
questions designed to poke holes in his alibi for his whereabouts on the night
of June 12, 1994.
Simpson has always claimed that while his ex-wife Nicole and Ronald
Goldman were being murdered, he was at home, chipping golf balls in the front
yard, then taking a shower.
Petrocelli cited records of Simpson's cellphone which show a call made at
10:03pm to the home of Paula Barbieri, Simpson's girlfriend at the time.
Simpson had first told police he'd made that call from the bronco, but has
since changed his story, saying he made the call from his front yard.
Petrocelli hammered away at that, saying that Simpson had to change the
story, because if he was in his Bronco at 10:03 pm that night, it would support
the plaintiff's contention that he was out and about, ultimately
driving to Nicole's condo to commit murder.
Simpson's attorney Robert Baker repeatedly objected, charging Petrocelli
was showboating and being argumentative.
Petrocelli then put Simpson on the spot about blood found in his Bronco.
Simpson said he had no idea how blood matching his dna type got into the
vehicle.
"And you have no explanation of how the blood of Nicole was found on the
carpet of the driver's side?" asked Petrocelli.
Simpson said "no".
"And you have no explanation of how Ron Goldman's blood got in that
Bronco," asked Petrocelli.
Again, Simpson said no.
He also couldn't explain why there was blood on his finger and on his
kitchen counter as he left for chicago that night.
standup tag
The plaintiffs are trying to show that Simpson is making up his alibi and
lying about his whereabouts that night, just as on Friday they were trying to
show that he was lying about ever having hit Nicole.
