O.J. Simpson testified on direct examination regarding his June 12 flight and mental state, but faced devastating cross-examination where the plaintiff 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 improper communications with case participants, and the defense unexpectedly postponed Simpson's continued testimony to December.

• Juror excused for attempting to communicate with attorneys, their staff, and media
• Alternate juror 294 installed in jury seat number 4
• Simpson examined on suicide note and his claim of being a 'battered husband'
• Plaintiff draws parallel between 1989 incident (sneaking back to Rockingham, hiding bag, losing keys) and June 12, 1994 night
• Plaintiff's attorney Kelly directly accuses Simpson of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman
• Defense unexpectedly announces Simpson will return as witness in December rather than continuing testimony
