O.J. Simpson testified on direct examination regarding his June 12 flight and mental state, and underwent further direct examination by plaintiffs' counsel, who drew explicit behavioral parallels between his 1989 domestic violence incident and the night of the murders, culminating in a direct accusation of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. A juror was excused for attempting to communicate with people connected to the case, and defense counsel Robert Baker announced that he would call Simpson as a witness later in December rather than then.
