TRIAL

▲ Day 113 of 167

Witness: Michael Gladden
Examiner: Johnnie Cochran
Called by: Defense • Date: Wednesday, July 12, 1995 • Utterances: 11

Cochran conducted a brief redirect of Michael Gladden, clarifying the precise timeframe of Gladden's observation of OJ Simpson. Cochran established that Gladden did not see Simpson at 10:30, 10:45, or 11:00 PM — only at 11:20–11:25 PM — thereby narrowing the scope of Gladden's testimony to that specific window.

# 1 MR. COCHRAN:

Now--one question that might save some time. You didn't see Mr. Simpson at 11:00 o'clock, did you, that night?

# 2 MR. GLADDEN:

No, I didn't.

# 3 MR. COCHRAN:

You didn't see him at 10:45?

# 4 MR. GLADDEN:

No.

# 5 MR. COCHRAN:

Did you see him at 10:30?

# 6 MR. GLADDEN:

No.

# 7 MR. COCHRAN:

But you did see him at 11:20, 11:25, right?

KEY QUOTE

# 8 MR. GLADDEN:

Yes.

# 9 MR. COCHRAN:

And what you've told us about is how he was acting and appeared at that time; is that right?

# 10 MR. GLADDEN:

Yes.

# 11 MR. COCHRAN:

I think I have nothing further at this point, your Honor. May--nothing further at this point. I reserve.

Notable Exchanges (1)

Johnnie Cochran•Michael Gladden

Cochran methodically walked back through each earlier time increment (11:00, 10:45, 10:30) to establish Gladden had no knowledge of Simpson during those windows, then confirmed the 11:20–11:25 sighting as the sole basis of his testimony.
