Ron Shipp, a former LAPD officer and longtime friend of O.J. Simpson, testified for the prosecution on February 1 and 2, 1995. He described the January 1989 domestic-violence incident involving Nicole Brown Simpson and recounted Simpson's alleged statement that he had “dreams of killing” her. On cross-examination, the defense challenged Shipp's credibility through questions about media motives, his alcohol history, use of police resources, and possible bias toward Nicole; on redirect, the prosecution elicited that he had declined lucrative media offers and that proceeds from a book went to Simpson's children.
