An extremely brief redirect examination in which Mr. Kelly asks Juditha Brown whether she understood that Nicole was nervous about someone (presumably O.J. Simpson) possibly showing up. Brown gives a vague, deflecting answer. Baker begins an objection but withdraws it, then clarifies he does not want the witness fully excused from the trial.
