...Goldman's father Fred has said he simply wants a jury to find Simpson responsible for his son's death. His lawyer, Daniel Petrocelli, offered a stirring closing argument that even some Simpson defenders conceded was the most masterly in either the criminal or civil trial. Petrocelli again cataloged the physical evidence: the blood in the Bronco, the hair fibers, the newly discovered photographs of Simpson wearing the Bruno Magli shoes that he denied owning. "There's a killer in this courtroom," Petrocelli declared, pointing at Simpson. Quoting a 16th century French poet, Petrocelli concluded, "'My lovely living...
...gloves and Bruno Magli shoes. Unlike the rules of a criminal trial, where any reasonable doubt precludes jurors from finding a defendant guilty, in the civil trial jurors can find Simpson guilty if they decide that he probably murdered his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her companion, Ronald Goldman. Only nine of the 12 jurors need agree on the verdict.

Said Laurie Levenson, associate dean at Loyola Law School: "It's going to be hard for the jurors to believe that he is dangerous. They will believe that the kids are safe if a judge sent them home to live with...
...fare well at the civil trial in Santa Monica last week. Robert Groden testified for the defense that a photo of Simpson wearing Bruno Magli shoes--the kind of footwear apparently worn by the killer--was a fake. Groden sounded impressive enough until Peter Gelblum, an attorney for the Goldman family, attacked him as a Kennedy-assassination groupie who held no formal training, credential or qualifications as a photo expert. Lawyers for both sides argued over his resume, trying to fathom his actual occupation. (He has worked as camera repairman and phototechnician, among several activities.) Groden acknowledged on the stand...
