In an angry riposte, the Iranian government said it "categorically rejects these baseless and discourteous allegations."

Potentially more damaging, the Los Angeles County coroner's office, pressured by media leaks, admitted that 16 pieces of evidence in the Simpson case had been mishandled. Though most of the errors were minor (a container of bile temporarily mislabeled as urine), the admission presented...
...guilty, O.J. Simpson was arraigned on charges that he stabbed to death his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman last month. The trial was assigned to superior court Judge Lance Ito. Before the arraignment, Simpson offered a $500,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the "real killer or killers," and set up a toll-free number to take tips from the public...
