...another trial on his hands. Fighting to gain custody of his children, Simpson, his bodyguard Tom Gleeson and his brother-in-law Benny Baker spent most days in September attending the Orange County proceeding. In a small courtroom closed to the press and the public, tensions ran high. Juditha Brown, Nicole's mother, and Denise Brown, Nicole's sister, also attended every day, and the proximity of the families led to a few near blowups. At one point Simpson's sister Shirley Baker began playing tic-tac-toe on a note pad during testimony. Juditha turned to the Brown family...

Fred Goldman spent the first Thursday afternoon of deliberations just driving alone around Los Angeles. Denise Brown was at her parents' house in Orange County, trying to comfort her mother Juditha. Juditha was worried about Denise, convinced that Simpson would somehow hurt her.

During the final...
Simpson's trial will resume on Jan. 6. The Browns were granted a hearing on Jan. 10 in Orange County to ask the judge to stay her custody decision pending an appeal. Simpson, for his part, offered an olive branch to Lou and Juditha Brown, saying he expected them to "continue as active grandparents." "[Sydney and Justin] love their grandparents," Simpson told a reporter for the Associated Press, "but they want to stay with me." And so, for the moment, Father knows best--with the full force...
