...prosecution, focused for the last two weeks on Simpson's alleged abusive behavior, spent the day attempting to reconstruct the events of the night of the murder. Waitress Tia Gavin testified that Nicole Brown Simpson and her family, who dined at the Mezzaluna restaurant that evening, left around 8:45 p.m., with Nicole saying she was going to buy ice cream.
