...testimony but also by conjuring several alternate crime scenarios-that the police are framing Simpson, that police incompetence tainted evidence and/or that drug hit men committed the crimes. "Basically, the majority of our case has been presented through cross-examination of prosecution witnesses," says Simpson's attorney Robert L. Shapiro. "They [prosecutors] have been required to go on the defensive." And that, says veteran defendants' lawyer Gigi Gordon, has "taught lawyers all over the country how to do it if they have the resources. Now they should know when to sit down. My motto is, if you don't stand...
Fearful that such a distinction would be lost in the blame game following Clinton's forced retirement, those who helped elect him are preparing to distance themselves while they still have the chance. "We're out to push the intellectual envelope," says the ppi's Rob Shapiro, who is working on a "radical" series of issue alternatives that could "unyoke" the centrists from their President.

Simpson, whose net worth was reported to be $10 million on the day of his arrest, has taken out a $3 million credit line on his Brentwood home...
...Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Now it looks like they'll have to wait a little longer. Prosecutors unexpectedly announced that they will not callDr. Irwin Golden, saying that Golden's superior, Coroner Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran, hasgiven jurors a complete analysis of the murder wounds. As defense attorney Robert Shapiro leapt to his feet to declare the defense's intentions to call Golden as a witness once the prosecution completes its case, Judge Lance Ito inquired when that is likely to be. Perhaps by the end of the month, said prosecutor Chrisopher Darden. "That would thrill me to death," replied...
