...Bailey's taunting cross-examination. Fuhrman repeatedly denied having made racist statements; he also denied suggestions that he planted a bloody glove on Simpson's estate to frame the football hero. The high stakes prompted Bailey and prosecutor Marcia Clark to trade playground-ready insults, leading Judge Lance Ito to ask for an apology from each attorney and to order them not to "engage in gratuitous personal attacks upon each other." At week's end yet another juror was dismissed, the fifth so far. Reports said the man, of mixed racial background, was suspected of writing about the case...
...after seven and a half hours that glove still showed moist, sticky blood, Detective Fuhrman?" Fuhrman hesitated and appeared at a loss for words. As Bailey bore in, drilling Fuhrman with questions about the pre-testimony coaching he had received from prosecutors, the detective stumbled, becoming confused. Judge Lance Ito interrupted the questioning to confer with attorneys for both sides, giving Fuhrman time to collect his thoughts.

Ito permitted this unusual arrangement so that the Lopez testimony for the defense would not interrupt the presentation of the prosecution's case...
...alleged history of abusing his wife and his state of mind on the night of the murder. Shipp was among those who gathered to comfort and assist O.J. on the night of June 13. He testified that Simpson had admitted something that the defense had vigorously petitioned Ito to suppress. ``He jokingly said,'' recalled the ex-cop, `` `To be honest, Shipp, I've had some dreams of killing her.' '' Having ruled the highly controversial dream remark admissible, Judge Lance Ito has now opened the possibility that it could be construed as a reversible error in an appeals court, should...
...portrait of a jealous wife abuser. A detective testified about a 1989 beating incident; a friend recounted how Simpson had told him about dreams of killing his former wife; and his ex-sister-in-law sobbed as she detailed other instances of violence. Before testimony began, Judge Lance Ito had admonished defense attorneys in front of the jury for having violated witness-disclosure rules; Ito sanctioned the defense by allowing prosecutors to reopen their opening argument...
