Commander Keith Bushey was the assistant commanding officer of the LAPD's Operations West Bureau on June 12 and 13, 1994, with functional oversight of investigative activities across an area covering roughly one-fourth of Los Angeles. Called by the prosecution as a rebuttal witness, he testified about his order to notify O.J. Simpson of Nicole Brown's death during the early morning of June 13. Johnnie Cochran's cross-examination addressed Nicole Brown's parents as next of kin, the roughly two-and-a-half-hour interval before Simpson was contacted, the detectives' departure from Bundy, and whether the visit to Rockingham was necessary.
