Marcia Clark conducted a brief recross focused solely on what OJ Simpson was wearing on his feet, eliciting that he had black woven leather loafers. The exchange became a running gag as Judge Ito counted Clark's questions aloud — one, two, three — each time she tried to sneak in another, with Cochran gleefully joining the tally.
# 1 MS. CLARK: I just wanted to ask one question, please.
