◀ Cross-examination of Juanita Moore (part 2) Next witness ▶

Witness: Juanita Moore
Examiner: Johnnie Cochran
Called by: Defense • Date: Tuesday, July 18, 1995 • Utterances: 36

Cochran conducted a brief redirect examination of Juanita Moore, a hairstylist, clarifying that she had no professional relationship with Marguerite Thomas or Arnelle Simpson, and pinning down key dates: she last saw Nicole Brown Simpson on May 1st, 1994 at Rockingham (where she went to cut OJ's hair), and she saw Paula Barbieri on May 23rd, 1994 — her birthday. Clark briefly consulted with co-counsel before declining further recross.
