Candace Garvey testified as a friend of Nicole Brown Simpson during the prosecution's case building a pattern of domestic violence and escalating threat by O.J. Simpson. She was among a group of witnesses, including Denise Brown and Cynthia Shahian, who took the stand on February 6, 1995, to describe Simpson's controlling and menacing behavior toward Nicole. Her testimony helped establish Simpson's frightening demeanor at their daughter's school recital on June 12, 1994 — just hours before the murders.
