devastating Closing arguments dominated the day, with plaintiff's counsel Petrocelli, Kelly, and Brewer methodically presenting the case that Simpson harbored intense rage toward Nicole Brown Simpson, was caught in multiple lies—particularly about owning Bruno Magli shoes—and that Nicole herself documented her fear of him. The defense, through Baker, countered by attacking the evidence as tainted by police misconduct and framing the case as a conspiracy. The jury heard Nicole's own voice on a 1993 911 tape and her diary entries about the 1989 beating, evidence the plaintiffs argued directly undermined Simpson's claims he could never harm her.
