💬 From the record:
Carol Connors, a songwriter who described O.J. Simpson as an acquaintance she had known since about 1980, testified as a defense witness on July 10, 1995, the day the defense launched its case. On direct examination by Robert Shapiro, Connors said she last saw Simpson on June 11, 1994, at a $25,000 dinner for the Sheba Medical Center at a private Bell Air estate honoring Madame Jihan Sadat and Leah Rabin; she also said she had observed Simpson's demeanor at various events and functions. Christopher Darden cross-examined Connors, and she was excused that same day.
