...minor surprises this time around. The actor-houseguest was one of Clark's biggest problems. She spent long, frustrating hours in her office and in court trying to coax coherent testimony from the loosey-goosey Kaelin. Then last week a spiffed-up, more verb-friendly Kaelin testified that Simpson was brooding, and cursing, the day before the murders over his former wife's sexual escapades, referring to an incident in which he witnessed Nicole having sex with a boyfriend, Keith Zlomsowitch. And Kaelin also mentioned last week that the three thumps he heard on his bedroom wall sounded "like someone...
...grappling with the extremely complex forensic evidence the state presented. As Michael Brewer, a lawyer for Ron Goldman's mother Sharon Rufo, told the Los Angeles Times, pre-gag order, "The jurors don't care about the minutiae; they care about the essence." That is why the moment that Simpson struggled to get the glove on was so pivotal. The plaintiffs' team has already tried to dispatch that one, bringing on a glove expert to testify that it shrank but looked like the same dark leather glove Simpson was wearing in a picture.

The defense also showed that Bodziak was unable to identify an assortment of other shoe prints surrounding the crime scene. Since then, though, the National Enquirer has come up with another photograph showing Simpson wearing similar shoes in 1993. "God, how we searched for those shoes," says the former Simpson prosecutor now. "We sat watching Christmas videos with the Brown family. We digitally enhanced photos of things in his closet, hoping to find an old shoe box. But we couldn't find anything...
...plaintiffs' source tells TIME that Simpson also faces questions about apparent inconsistencies regarding the day of the murder. He has been alternately asleep, reading, sitting on his bed and chipping golf balls during the murders--and he conceded last week that no one saw him at all between 9:35 and 10:50 p.m. And in his original statement to police Simpson said he was having "weird thoughts" about Nicole, which was why he preferred not to take a lie-detector test. In his deposition Simpson, under persistent questioning, said that those weird thoughts were about the time Nicole...
