Theirs was not a violent relationship, Simpson maintained, with the exception of a single incident on New Year's Eve in 1989. Of the other encounters introduced by the plaintiffs, such as when Nicole called 911 in 1993 after Simpson kicked down an exterior door in her home, Simpson was dismissive: "It was a reflex action...
Although it was not by any measure riveting testimony, it may have been effective. While praising Nicole's skills as a mother, Simpson managed in his narrative of the last two years of Nicole's life to make passing reference to her alleged drug use, to her acquaintance with a known prostitute and to an abortion.

...small family in the fictitious town of Arlen, Texas, Hank Hill--Judge's new Everyman--is the show's articulate voice and conscience. Unlike Homer, he is no bumbling dreamer but rather a man who takes earnest pride in his life as a father and propane salesman.
