Darden continues direct examination of Denise Brown, establishing the events of a day when she and her sisters attended a football game with Nicole, then returned to OJ Simpson's home. Denise describes OJ becoming upset and screaming at Nicole after they returned to his house, but Ito then strikes that question and answer and instructs the jury to disregard it because the incident fell outside the previously litigated prior-conduct evidence.
