19 items · 19 documentary · 11 with detail pages

Restaurant records from Mezzaluna on June 12, 1994, establish precise movements of Nicole Brown Simpson, Ron Goldman, and other key figures during the critical hours before the murders. Credit card receipts, employee time cards, and phone logs document who was where and when—Goldman clocked out at 9:33 PM, Tia Gavin at 9:58 PM, Nicole's party by 9:55 PM—creating a forensic timeline that constrains opportunity and alibis in the prosecution's case.
