If Kilmer is to execute the actor's equivalent of a quadruple toe loop, it won't be from movie-star grace but from a triumph of the will...

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 lawyer Natasha Roit and said, "And this is the woman who will be caring for the children...
