About your own history of domestic abuse?

Above the driver's side door handle.

Absolutely 100% not guilty.

Absolutely not

Absolutely.

Absolutely. We're here for the truth.

Across America,

Act on precedent.

Acted in self defense. The officers were scared.

Actually consider a friend?

Actually sued the city.

Actually, Mr. Cochran,

Actually, Your Honor,

Affirmative action was

African Americans are offended at this very moment.

After all they heard,

After all they know,

After careful reading and annotation

After four hours of debate.

After he beat up Nicole.

After he climbed the wall to avoid being seen by the limo driver.

After he was dead.

After I got my recollections together.

Ah, trust me.

Ah. I see.

Ain't got to run no more now. No more running.

Alan Dershowitz told me to look you up.

Alan Dershowitz, in all your years,

Alan, made a reservation for lunch at Spago's.

Alan!

Alan.

All about one thing,

All counsel in his chambers.

All eyes are gonna be on you.

All I've seen is the LAPD acting like they're O.J.'s butler.

All of it is in court records, Johnnie.

All of them.

All of which seems to support the conclusion that O.J. did it.

All right

All right,

All right,

All right, Alan, what about a plea deal?

All right, all right, go ahead. What you got?

All right, all right. Look.

All right, at this time,

All right, at this time,

All right, can we have the jury, please?

All right, counsel,

All right, enough of the intros.

All right, gentlemen.

All right, girls.

All right, go ahead, Mr. Simpson, briefly.

All right, I didn't make the statement.

All right, I don't want there to be any insinuation

All right, it's 3:10 now.

All right, Juice. What do you want me to do, man?

All right, let's go

All right, Marcia, I don't expect you to understand.

All right, Mr. Darden, I accept your apology.

All right, Mr. Darden, you can have counsel.

All right, Mrs. Robertson, do you have the envelope

All right, Mrs. Robertson.

All right, Mrs. Robertson.

All right, thank you.

All right, then.

All right, try something like noir,

All right, we stand in recess

All right, we stand in recess.

All right, we're home, O.J.

All right, well, listen. We can, uh...

All right, well, why don't we order up some copies?

All right, what about purple?

All right, why don't we bring in the jury.

All right, you fellas want to tell me what happens next?

All right, you know what, time is short,

All right, you may be seated.

All right! Yeah!

All right?

All right? Stay away from us!

All right? What are you trying to say?

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. Good afternoon, Detective.

All right. What do you what do you call a lawyer gone bad?

All rise

All rise!

All rise.

All rise.

All that battering before he was even arrested.

All that blood evidence.

All that sniping in the media

All the manufacture of evidence.

All the way to the top, then gets pushed off his pedestal

All they asked to be read back was the limo driver testimony.

All this, all of it, and they go into a room

All this, during a time when everyone involved is

All those hours of tape

All your stuff with Barbara,

Allegations of things you said.

Allow me. Allow me.

Allow me. Allow me.

Almost 20 years later, I'm expected to sit and swallow

Always.

Am I out of line, saying you're bringing a preconception

Amen.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Among black women, O.J. received all nines and tens.

Amounting to approximately 100 hairs.

An additional 17 extracts

An admission of guilt, that you guys,

An ex husband to be notified.

An impossible decision on his hands?

An incredibly urgent matter.

An inspiration. That's who you are.

An official person.

An open mind, and a strong backbone.

An overriding public interest

An overriding public interest

And $8,700 in cash.

And a brother is born in adversity.

And a different make.

And a loyal friend is more important than...

And a question.

And a ruling is expected soon

And a run for the border, he practically did my job for me.

And about possible options. I think...

And accomplishments, it's a depreciating asset.

And all this evidence that was submitted is not relevant

And all this for an unknown killer.

And allow Mr. Simpson to be released on bail.

And also take care of a family, but I do.

And and hitting the heavy bag.

And and I want you to be honest.

And and I'm sure Bob would agree...

And and let's be clear: no perp walk here.

And any way you can do to get them out, that's fine

And apparently,

And appreciative that Mr. Douglas is taking

And as a trial lawyer, and I've never

And as the lead attorney, I will be delivering those statements.

And ask them to pick sides.

And assert my constitutional right to remain silent.

And assert my constitutional right to remain silent.

And at the Bundy scene,

And at worst, we get the jury to question it, the very idea.

And be prepared for, for whatever comes about.

And because the LAPD has a systemic racism problem.

And because we don't want a mistrial,

And before you know it, things escalate

And both Nicole and Ronald's blood were found in the Bronco.

And bought two pairs of our gloves!

And call up every network!

And can I get some orange juice?

And can we talk about that hair?

And certainly not to the defendant himself.

And coming from Brentwood Bob Shapiro.

And compel Ms. McKinny

And considering the available evidence,

And corrupted.

And could not and would not commit this crime.

And deceptions!

And decide how much, if any, you want to introduce

And deliver him.

And did the second voice

And did you look inside the vehicle?

And didn't book it until the next day.

And do it... You mean, do it in here?

And do you anticipate that we can hear

And don't think there weren't people

And don't you girls ever use that word.

And enjoy.

And entirely inappropriate.

And especially to our police department.

And even though I got it in the divorce,

And every week,

And everybody knows it; it's no secret.

And everyone loves to hear them, talk about them.

And everyone's jumping on the gravy train.

And excuse prospective juror number 35.

And false testimony

And flung into a ravine, yet somehow,

And framed, and the cover up continues.

And friend, Johnnie Cochran,

And from the knife into her.

And get my table for tomorrow.

And Gil doesn't want to see the city burn down again.

And Gordon's lawyer called. He...

And got right back to work

And haven't stopped and wallowed in self pity since that day.

And he had the gloves under the...

And he has a gun at his head,

And he is upset and angry.

And he knows not what he's doing.

And he might be more understanding.

And he said, This is where babies come from

And he stabs and cuts and slices

And he, uh...

And he'd start screaming.

And here at O.J.'s house,

And here, in the back seat of the car with a gun to his head.

And his nights sleeping with young white girls.

And how do you plead to counts one and two?

And how in a few short hours,

And how you know he's been trying to mess with your head?

And how'd you score?

And I accept that verdict.

And I ain't never apologizing

And I am... wounded

And I buried it.

And I couldn't stand by and let it happen. Please.

And I decided that it's not a good idea, at all,

And I didn't.

And I don't want there to be any impression

And I feel like my headstone

And I got scared,

And I have always kept my word to them.

And I have always, always had faith

And I interviewed him for research.

And I know that your response was out of character,

And I know the Carolinas

And I know you're capable of more.

And I looked at it.

And I personally guarantee

And I should point out that if Ms. Clark thinks that hand

And I thank the Lord for helping us to find

And I think you're the one to run with it.

And I think, perhaps,

And I thought I'd discuss it with you

And I told him the best way forward

And I understand that; she lost Nicole.

And I want you all to know

And I was running around and, uh, I broke a glass.

And I would spend my day sparring

And I'll give you a hung jury.

And I'm confident that people will assume

And I'm going to impale him on it.

And I'm gonna get you out of here,

And I'm not angry.

And I'm not having it. And where is that, Counselor?

And if any of you assist him,

And if it helps any..

And if they are successful, they are almost always...

And if they do call him, we've all seen his personnel file.

And if they talk about him,

And if you recall correctly,

And in that version, O.J. walks.

And in them is what

And in this family, being a good person

And it absolutely drove him crazy.

And it honked at me.

And it is nighttime, and he is driving,

And it might help you out of a traffic ticket.

And it might help you out of a traffic ticket.

And it was hell all over again,

And it was totally crazy.

And it would be a tragedy

And it's just O.J. and Nicole, O.J. and Nicole.

And it's like no one even cares.

And it's not as an officer of the court.

And it's not because I worked S.I.D.

And it's not because of Johnnie

And it's not me.

And it's quite derogatory.

And jogged the six blocks back to my office

And Johnnie can go screw himself.

And Johnnie equals LAPD injustice,

And Johnnie's the running back. But, uh,

And just so you know,

And just worked through the afternoon?

And keep going, because this right here,

And kill people with knives. Ex...

And lawyers resort to stories to distract from the facts...

And Lee's the quarterback and and, uh... and Alan's

And lied about it on the witness stand

And manually opened it.

And many other people do, too.

And me and this other car, we just swerved

And Mr. Garcetti.

And Mr. Ronald Lyle Goldman on the evening of June 12, 1994.

And not just in the courtroom, in the world.

And not let the jurors hear anything.

And not permit testimony without cross examination.

And not reason.

And not the right time, if it were.

And not this lost person.

And now

And now I got... aw, shit.

And now it's all over TV!

And now it's on us.

And now that I'm on TV, I'm the cool dad.

And now you and Johnnie

And now you and Johnnie

And now,

And O.J.'s blood into O.J.'s bedroom.

And O.J.'s easily the most famous American

And O.J.'s mansion, and O.J. will be there, too.

And offer sloppy apologies afterwards.

And once it's done, we'll have no chance to cut a deal.

And one officer one kick.

And other days.

And other people of color.

And outside of it.

And Paula wasn't home.

And people are still talking about O.J. Simpson,

And people ask me about it all day.

And personality of Mr. Simpson.

And please close the door on your way out, Lisa. Thank you.

And proceed to Rockingham

And refuse to turn back.

And replace it with O.J.'s blood.

And replace it with O.J.'s blood.

And say race

And say they proved it?

And Shawn Chapman. They're working with us.

And she really did love him.

And she saw the Bronco parked outside at 10:15.

And she sits up front on the way back?

And she was walking their dog that night...

And she's my co worker. That's all.

And she's strident!

And sheriff's vehicles sitting on the side of the road.

And so I don't know why I'm here.

And so what did you do next at Rockingham,

And so you all find out

And so, first and foremost, Your Honor, I would like to apologize

And so, for a friend that I deeply respect,

And so, here...

And so, Your Honor, I am ashamed

And some idiot at county released them.

And stand up for your damn self!

And steak and frittata.

And step from the vehicle now!

And strangle you.

And strength to all of us.

And stuck a gun to her head, and used her as a barricade.

And such...

And tell a better story.

And terrorized his wife,

And thank you.

And that bullshit hurts.

And that has created a lot of problems

And that I was the best choice. He said I have integrity,

And that is precisely what we will prove.

And that is, I will remain lead counsel

And that my people have no claim to Israel!

And that O.J. set her father up with a Hertz dealership.

And that purpose is to inflame the passions of the jury

And that they will find, as it now stands,

And that very same LAPD saw a black man driving too fast,

And that would be all yours.

And that you knew that because the restaurant was closing.

And that's called a code 100, an intercept...

And that's what we're here to discover.

And that's where the ******s live.

And the attention seekers.

And the blood found in the Bronco

And the court has allowed them to walk all over...

And the defense has made it into a circus.

And the esteemed Reverend Frank Higgins

And the facts into more personal issues.

And the fighting would start again.

And the focus of his anger is Nicole.

And the glove didn't fit.

And the jury will only hear 12 words.

And the jury will rise to the occasion and say, No.

And the media room's dinky; it's downtown.

And the people saw was how well you can twist the system.

And the presentation of cover ups

And the reality is, it's not winnable.

And the Rockingham glove matches a mix of Simpson

And the seat is yours for the length of the trial.

And the second man yelled at him.

And the sticky substance seemed blood like.

And the truth is,

And the victim's blood.

And their logic is specious.

And their relationship and Mr. Simpson's jealousy

And their support throughout this trial

And then adjust as it changes.

And then all of a sudden,

And then ask yourself,

And then get that sucker right back to Rockingham, too.

And then I was sitting with Kato.

And then it did.

And then it's your turn.

And then my first marriage blows up in my face.

And then one of your guys

And then place it at Mr. Simpson's home,

And then popping right back up again.

And then somebody would sleep with someone,

And then the most famous lawyer in the whole country

And then the rest later?

And then there's that freaking demon.

And then there's the gloves, and then he runs.

And then wipe it on the interior of the Bronco?

And then you get home and...

And then, in the biggest case of all time,

And there were children involved.

And there's...

And there's...

And these gloves,

And these Scarfaces decided to scare her by killing Nicole?

And they all did what they had to do

And they could move the trial back to Santa Monica,

And they did what they do.

And they keep playing those 911 calls over and over.

And they let him go.

And they razzle dazzle

And they razzle dazzle

And they seem to be overly concerned about what

And they talk about it for four hours?

And they want to tell you

And they were constantly reconciling.

And they're asking me these questions!

And they're way behind fixing the earthquake damage,

And this belongs to me

And this cop, Mark Fuhrman, who discovered everything,

And this glove would ever work together,

And this is Carl Douglas

And this time let me do the talking.

And this time they don't call Fuhrman,

And those feelings never leave.

And those other guys... they're...

And thrown into jail, like black men do.

And to listen very carefully.

And to my kids.

And to some extent I viewed Mr. Simpson the same way.

And to thank you all from the bottom of my heart

And to the prosecution

And to you, brother,

And took a baseball bat to her Mercedes.

And totally out of line.

And try to under... try to put ourselves in each other's shoes

And understand why we see the world in different ways,

And unwarranted.

And Vannatter what I had observed

And wanted to work with you for years.

And watch her have sex with other guys.

And we are confident that the evidence will reveal

And we are defending a black man

And we are not gonna let the police go on trial here.

And we can have a discussion.

And we can see drops of blood leading into the house.

And we got to get up and take it back.

And we have reason to believe that he's killed himself.

And we just sit down. We just... we just...

And we need to do it now!

And we only hope and pray that Chief Williams

And we stand here in front of you

And we want to have him try on the actual gloves in evidence,

And we want to have him try on the actual gloves in evidence,

And we want to pray with our member

And we will also present

And we will apprise you of any new developments.

And we're clearing out everything. I mean everything,

And we're clearing them up.

And we're fighting to keep them out.

And what about all the facts

And what about your left hand there?

And what did he point out to you, sir?

And what did you make of that?

And what does that mean?

And what I will outline for you today

And what if nothing happens?

And what white people have never understood

And what's out in the world

And what's unfortunate

And when I say drop it, you drop it.

And when I see an absence, like,

And when the dust settles...

And when the game was over, I got the hell up off that bed

And when you entered the rear of the Bundy residence,

And when's the last time Lee Bailey

And which directly contradict

And who talks to the police?

And who thinks O.J. Simpson committed the murders?

And why is that?

And why not do everything we can to get you out of here

And will never leave this room.

And within hours of the killings,

And words cannot to begin to express the debt

And would you please

And wouldn't there be blood

And yet they handcuffed him.

And you decided to suddenly turn it in, I don't know.

And you did a superb job.

And you didn't.

And you don't trust the People,

And you have my word, and my word is gold.

And you have to listen very carefully.

And you have to stay ahead of the leads

And you have to understand one thing:

And you ignore this shit at your own peril.

And you kill her.

And you kill the Goldman boy,

And you know how these people think.

And you know she hid them away, just in case something happened?

And you might provide a special insight to us.

And you need to get him ready.

And you say, Listen, boy, I'm talking to you.

And you two are supposed to be representing me!

And you would not play the race card.

And you'll have to be the judges, I expect,

And your tapes could really help him.

And, frankly, you're gonna be drowning in paper.

And, in discussing the situation,

And, uh, I was hoping

And, uh, presumably the officers...

And, uh...

And, uh...

And, you know...

And...

And... she said, Nicole wants you...

And... they said Ron had been killed...

Anise, would you tally for us?

Another doctor?

Another strong, intelligent brother?

Any case of violence without eyewitnesses.

Any children's centers?

Any comment?

Any evidence he touches is questionable.

Any ****** driving a Porsche who doesn't have

Any of my friends leave me a message?

Any of us found it today.

Any other questions?

Any time that I take on a new criminal case,

Anybody notify him yet?

Anybody see that?

Anyhow, downtown is fine by me.

Anything else unusual?

Anything else...

Anything out of a ******'s mouth,

Anything you care to share, Bob?

Anyway, as Bill and I were discussing,

Appetite for this case we find ourselves on.

Apple brandy,

Approximately six hours.

Are about to be held in contempt.

Are an inspiration.

Are any of you interested in something other

Are extremely small.

Are my office's charges against Mr. Orenthal James Simpson

Are O.J. Simpson.

Are people taking to the streets not to riot,

Are perhaps the most incredible remarks I've heard

Are standing in a goddamn pool of gasoline

Are the only black men in the courtroom

Are there plans to charge anyone else?

Are these the 911 tapes?

Are truthful with each other.

Are we clear? Are you seriously saying that to me?

Are we good?

Are we really going to risk losing this witness

Are you a fan of USC football?

Are you being racist?

Are you gentlemen familiar with Chief Williams?

Are you gonna be putting me up?

Are you happy?

Are you helping my daddy find the man who hurt my mommy?

Are you okay, Ms. Brown?

Are you on a substance?

Are you ready to enter a plea at this time?

Are you saying, under oath,

Are you shitting me?

Are you sure you don't want to eat somewhere else?

Are you trying to say something about me, Johnnie?

Aren't you?

Aris Isotoner, model number 70263

Arnelle?

Around that area.

Around the Beverly Center by Christmas.

Around the doorknob on the interior of the gate,

Around the glove they found at O.J.'s house?

Around the knob area itself.

As a media whore, which she is.

As a ****** or spoken about black people

As a tool by the D.A.'s office because he's black.

As a woman and as a mother.

As affirmed by an all white jury.

As charged in count one of the information.

As closing statements begin.

As closing statements begin.

As he accepts this challenge to litigate the O.J. trial.

As her memory.

As I see it, Bob, you're the quarterback.

As long as I don't have to get out of this chair.

As much as I'd like to address some of the misrepresentations

As ******s in the past ten years,

As our speaker of the hour comes to the podium?

As soon as I leave here.

As the Bible tells us, Seek, and ye shall find,

As the criminalist needs, to compare hairs from the defendant

As to whether or not, uh,

As well as a partial possible fingerprint

As you know, the O.J. Simpson trial

As you were, Captain York.

As your friend, I'm worried for you

Ask around; I work with black cops every day.

Asked and answered. Argumentative.

Asshole. Go.

At 1:30 p.m.

At 10:00 or 10:15?

At a Lakers game.

At an exercise video Simpson taped

At best, we get some of it thrown out,

At his office.

At KCBS in Los Angeles, that's it.

At least Fuhrman doesn't live there.

At least they got the muscles right.

At least they know one of us is there for them.

At lunch today, it's all anybody talked about.

At Mezzaluna. You go home, you brood.

At numerous football games.

At one point, he said he had a gun to his head.

At Papa Christo's?

At rate of one in 57 billion.

At rate of one in 57 billion.

At Rockingham matches the defendant.

At Rockingham that night, yes.

At school, the other kids... they they tease Bobby,

At the Bundy murder scene match the defendant.

At the Mirage in Las Vegas that night.

At the outset...

At the preliminary hearing in this case

At the same time that Detective Fuhrman

At this time I would like to recess for lunch.

At times, I felt like a battered husband...

Attempting to reach someone inside,

Attorney assignments for the week.

Attorney.

Aw, break it all the way down!

Aw, go to hell, Dershowitz!

Aw, man.

Aw, man.

Aw, that better not be a Bronco.

Back 'em up!

Back from where I came from

Back into the community.

Back there, there was this loud bang on my air conditioner.

Back up! Go!
