...FACT, THOUGH, THERE WILL BE NO place in America where the fallout of the Simpson case will not be felt, especially after the explosive events of last week. There were signs as early as Tuesday, when Cochran showed up at the courthouse surrounded by a crew of muscle in bow ties from Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam. Cochran says he took up their offer to act as his bodyguards because he had received death threats, including one faxed to the courtroom during his summation. "We do get threats, so we have to have protection," Cochran shrugs. "It's just...

Cochran says he has visited Yad Vashem, the memorial in Jerusalem to the victims of the Holocaust. "I understand that no particular race has a corner on misery," he told Time last week. Simpson lawyer Robert Shapiro told a friend he was unhappy about playing up the race issue. But Alan Dershowitz, famously sensitive to anti-Semitism, insists that for putting Fuhrman on the stand in the first place, "the prosecution is entirely to blame for introducing race into this case...

...dear to them as O.J. It would also probably mean another trial, and thanks to a year of saturated publicity, the search for a dozen unbiased jurors is certain to be more difficult than it was the first time. Los Angeles district attorney Gil Garcetti has promised to retry Simpson even if the jury votes 11 to 1 for acquittal. The seminars on dna evidence. The bloody glove. Mark Fuhrman. Kato Kaelin. Could there be anyone, anywhere, who would want to go through that again...

Clark, who has won 20 felony cases and has not lost one in almost 10 years, says the evidence against Simpson is as strong as any she has argued. But it took her too long to understand that Fuhrman's virulent racism, which she recognized early, could poison the entire prosecution case. "Marcia knew Fuhrman was a bad cop, but she felt certain he hadn't planted evidence," says a deputy district attorney in her office. "They felt they could use Fuhrman anyway. Well, you can't use a racist cop. If you know...

...TIME FRAME The prosecution asserts that the killings occurred at around 10:15 p.m., when neighbors say they heard the cries of Nicole's dog. That would give Simpson enough time--about an hour--to get from his house to Nicole's, commit the murders and return home for the limo that would take him to the airport. The defense presented witnesses--some less credible than others--who said that at 10:15 all was well around Nicole's house. Clark ridiculed the idea that so many witnesses could have been in the same vicinity at the same time without...
