And it has always been your testimony that you didn't own as of June 12, 1994, any dark sweat suit of any type, correct?
I think I had a Buffalo Bills jersey with Buffalo Bills on it. But no, I didn't really wear sweat suits then.
Leslie Gardner gave testimony in this case that she never received those items back from you; are you aware of that testimony?
I'm not aware, as I just mentioned to you. There is something I would like to say about that sweat suit.
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) Leslie Gardner testified that she provided black wardrobe outfits to you in connection with the Playboy video; are you aware of her testimony, sir?
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) You recall your prior testimony that the sweat suit outfits that you used in that Playboy video you gave back to the people involved in making the video, the wardrobe consultants?
I recall it wouldn't -- would only have been one portion. I kept the top. It was a cashmere top, not a cotton top. It was cashmere. I do recall telling her I wanted to keep the top.
I object. She never said one thing about cotton. There has not one bit of testimony about her saying anything other than cashmere.
No. But I had a Donna Karen cashmere top that believe I was wearing in that. That's why I was looking at the picture so hard. I had one like it before. I used it as a pajama top. It's cashmere. I sort of recall saying I wanted to keep it. I don't know if someone else took it.
KEY QUOTEIs it your testimony, sir, that you did not receive a cotton sweat suit top or bottom from Leslie Gardner?
And you said that you had this one cut on your middle finger as of the time you spoke to the police on June 13, right?
Now, from the time that you got back from Chicago on June 13 to let's say Wednesday, June 15, you never were alone except when you were sleeping in bed, right?
I took a walk alone one day. There were moments when I may have walked around the house alone, especially at night.
On June 15, you previously testified you went to see Dr. Huizenga and he found three cuts and seven abrasions as of that day?
And have you no explanation for this jury how you got the other two cuts and seven abrasions.
No, except that I do know that on a few occasions that week I had to change the bandage 'cause there was blood all over my hand, and I assumed it came from the original.
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) And you can't produce a single witness to testify about how you got any of those seven abrasions and two cuts, correct?
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) In regard to the golf bag that we spoke about earlier today, you testified that you asked that it be produced to the Court. Do you remember that?
And those items were produced in court a number of months after you were initially arrested, correct?
At least the day I asked for them, I think we were in trial, so it would have been seven, eight months later.
During that seven or eight month period of time, those items of luggage were in your home, correct?
I believe maybe the travel luggage was. I believe, and I'm not 100 percent sure of this, I believe the golf clubs were at Bob Kardashian's.
So all of those items were either in the possession of Mr. Kardashian or people at your home, correct?
Now, you recall your testimony about -- withdrawn. You testified that the shoes that you were wearing on September 26, 1993 that were depicted in the photo, were not shoes that you were actually wearing, do you remember that?
I think you said something about if they were -- these are Bruno Magli shoes, and I testified I didn't believe so, yes.
You said you weren't wearing Bruno Magli shoes of the type depicted in that photograph that was displayed to you in front of the jury last time you testified. Do you remember all that?
And you said there was no doubt in your mind that those were not shoes that you were wearing. Do you remember that?
Since your testimony, you have learned that there are 30 new photographs of you wearing shoes at that game --
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) Sir, since you gave testimony, you have learned there are 30 new photographs of you wearing shoes.
Correct. Let me show you. They've been previously marked for identification. (Counsel approaches witness with photographs.)
For the record, 2295, 2296, 2297, 2298, 2299, 2300, 2301, 2302, and I have the two contact sheets which are 2303 and 2304.
In other words, you don't believe that anything about these photographs has been doctored or is incorrect, right?
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) Do you have any reason to believe that there's anything wrong with you in this photo I'm holding up?
That's argumentative. Those pictures haven't been authenticated. He can't testify whether they've been doctored or anything else.
So you don't believe that you were wearing shoes like this in this photo; is that what you're saying?
Okay. And you would agree that these shoes are very much like the shoes shown in the other photograph?
Okay. Thank you. Can you focus -- do you have a better picture of the shoes, Steve?
And your testimony now for the record is exactly the same then with regard to the shoes in each of the photos I just showed you, that you don't recall ever wearing any of the shoes in any of these photos, correct?
Now, let's talk a little bit about some of the other items, sir. Do you recognize any of the people in these photos?
Okay. Well, first of all -- let me back track. You remember that there was some event commemorating the 20-year anniversary of your breaking the 2,000 yards per season record?
And you see the pin that you're wearing on the lapel of your jacket? Do you recall that as a button or a pin you got from a member of the Quarterback Club?
Now, let me show you a photograph -- a group photograph marked as 2295, okay, showing you with one, two, three, four, five other people. You recognize those people?
That's who you're pointing to. There's another man -- does E.J. Flammer, Sr. mean anything to you?
But you don't have any reason to believe that you didn't pose for this photograph with all these people, right?
No. I know I take a lot of pictures. I mean possibly -- I don't have any reason not to believe it, no.
KEY QUOTEAnd you don't have any reason to believe that you weren't wearing all of the clothing in the photograph of you in that picture -- I mean the photograph bearing Exhibit Number 2295, right? You don't quarrel with any of the clothing that you're wearing there?
The pants a little bit, but I do own -- I can't tell if this is a blue or black sport coat. I certainly own that -- I mean I own those. The tie looked very familiar. Even though I can't find this particular tie in my home. And I can't tell, on these pictures about this shirt, but on that exhibit, I knew I liked the shirt (indicating to Elmo screen Exhibit No. 1917.)
I don't know -- maybe the pants. I'm normally a pretty sharp dresser, and that is very -- not like me. They don't look like they fit.
So your opinion, sir, is that all of these pictures are once again doctored; is that right?
I don't know. I just know that the pants don't look right to me. I don't ever recall owning shoes like this.
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) You saying you don't recall the shoes? Or are you saying, sir, you did not wear those shoes in those photographs?
Your Honor, that assumes he's required to give one, and that's why it's argumentative.
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) Let me show you a newspaper dated November 1993, called The Buffalo Bills Report. You've heard of this paper, have you not?
I don't recall when I played in Buffalo. Maybe should see -- the inception has been almost 30 years, 20 years.
Let's see if we can put them up on the Elmo. (Newspaper article displayed on the Elmo screen.)
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) Do you have any reason to -- You don't have any reason to doubt that you're wearing the shoes in that picture in the newspaper, many months before Nicole's murder?
(BY MR. PETROCELLI) Remember testifying in your deposition that the shoes of the type depicted in the Scull photo were ugly aesthetically and stylewise?
And you had testified that you believe that the shoes that I showed you in the Scull photo, the last time that you testified, were also ugly, correct?
No. I told you -- I'm sure I said that they looked better than what they showed me in court, but they still didn't look like shoes I would wear.
KEY QUOTEI think I told you that they weren't as bad looking as the ones that were shown me in court, but I still didn't think they were shoes that I would wear.
And did you ever read the full spread feature of your breaking of the record in which this photograph appears?
Or to discuss your view that the shoes are not the shoes you were really wearing? Have you talked to them about any of those things?
I don't know. It's been three or four years since I talked to anybody in Buffalo, for that matter.
Mr. Simpson, when you testified last time on this witness stand in November, you did not know about the existence of these 30 photographs, correct?
And you told this jury that you were not wearing those shoes depicted in the Scull photograph, correct?
And now there are 30 pictures that have come forward showing that you are wearing the same shoes; correct?
By the way, did you contact anyone else in these pictures to discuss the shoes that you're wearing?
Have you made any attempt -- you, yourself, made any attempt to find out anything about these photographs?
2317. (The instrument herein referred to as a newspaper photograph was marked for identification as Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 2317.) REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY
I would say no, I didn't wear those shoes.
No.
You lied to this jury?
Not in a court of law, no.
I'm normally a pretty sharp dresser, and that is very -- not like me. They don't look like they fit.
