...Simpson Saga. For most sports fans it all began during the telecast of Game 5 of Knicks-Rockets 1994 NBA championship series with a white-bronco chase along a near-deserted freeway in California. Few could have guessed then that the saga would continue for 16 months of jury selection, DNA evidence, bloody gloves, mystery envelopes, Fuhrman tapes and, in maybe the most ironic twist of the entire circus, a verdict in four hours...
Simpson prosecutors say they could complete their rebuttal as early as today. In testimony Wednesday, Justice Department scientist Gary Sims said that three bloodstains he tested from inside O.J. Simpson's Bronco match the blood of Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Also, Johnnie Cochran confirmed that the defense plans to call FBI agent Frederick Whitehurst, who would testify that FBI lab personnel have fabricated evidence to help prosecutors in other cases. Judge Ito has not yet ruled on whether Whitehurst will testify. Justice officials today said they are investigating Whitehurst's allegations...

Simpson's white Bronco speeding away from the crime scene about a half an hour after prosecutors say Simpson drove there to commit the murders. Heidstra earlier was the source of tense words betweendefense attorney Johnnie Cochranand prosecutor Christopher Darden after Darden asked him if one of the voices he had heard outside Nicole Simpson's house the night of the murders could have come from a black man. Cochran exploded, calling the question "racist" and demanding that it be struck from...
