O.J. Simpson testified on direct examination regarding his June 12 flight and mental state, and was cross-examined by plaintiff's 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.
