Jackie Cooper, first, will testify that contrary to Simpson's testimony on the Palm Springs weekend, 12 days or two weeks before Nicole's murder, he told Cooper that Nicole had broken up with him, had ended the relationship; he was unhappy about it; and essentially talked on and on and on about Nicole that day.
And Donna Estes will testify that same day at dinner, Simpson told her that he had an argument with Paula earlier that day, Paula asked him do -- you still love Nicole, don't you; Simpson said yes, I do. And she left. And then went on to discuss Nicole further with Simpson.
All of this is not only relevant directly to our issue of motive, but also serves to impeach Simpson's testimony to the contrary. They're both -- each of them is about a five-to ten-minute witness, Your Honor.
MR. P. BAKER: Your Honor, Jackie, what he just said about Jackie Cooper doesn't impeach Mr. Simpson at all.
At page 10, the question was asked by Mr. Petrocelli: Do you still love Nicole? She asked you that, right? I don't recall this. And he said yes, I do; I always loved Nicole.
That doesn't impeach anything Mr. Cooper said.
Secondly, Mrs. Estes, in terms of -- in terms of Ms. Estes, at pages 7 and 8, Mr. Simpson said, and during the course of the conversation, I'm sure Nicole's name came up into that conversation.
What he told us doesn't impeach Mr. Simpson at all. It's prejudicial pursuant to 352. It misleads the jury, if that's impeachment, which it doesn't.
