...shot, two gravestones, a smile. The trial can be reduced to these emblems. Or to entries in a specialized gazetteer: Rockingham, Bundy, Brentwood. A bestiary: barking dog, white Bronco, blond Kato. Names on a list: Marcia and Johnnie, Darden and Shapiro, Fung, Lee, Scheck, Ito, Fuhrman. A weird alphabet: DNA, O.J., A.C., L.A.P.D., the N word.

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...
