Simpson lawyer makes closing argument
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) —
In a powerful finale, OJ. Simpson’s
lawyer urged jurors Monday to risk
being politically incorrect, embrace
Simpson as an innocent man and
“give him his life back.”
“OJ. Simpson simply is inno
cent,” attorney Robert Baker said in
his final remarks of the wrongful
death trial. “He didn’t do it.”
Speaking in a near whisper dur
ing a two-hour speech, Baker said
there was neither motive nor time
for Simpson to slash Nicole Brown
Simpson and Ronald Goldman to
death on June 12, 1994.
He urged jurors to reject appeals
of sympathy for the victims’ families
and consider instead the plight of
Simpson, who is being sued for po
tentially millions of dollars though
he was acquitted of murder.
“He has been vilified and
ridiculed,” Baker said. “You can give
him his life back and render a ver
dict like was done before and give
Justin and Sydney their dad back.”
Baker’s closing was followed by re
buttal arguments from attorneys
Daniel Petrocelli and Tom Lambert,
and the jury was not likely to get the
case until Tuesday.
At least nine of the 12 jurors must
agree to find Simpson responsible for
the deaths and award damages to the
victims’ families.
Petrocelli asked jurors what a
guilty man does when faced with
overwhelming evidence.
“What does he do? What does
this guy do? He hires an army of
lawyers, ex
perts, in
vestigators,
consultants
... They sit
down and
they figure
out what to
say about
all this evi
dence,” he
said.
“What
you have
heard in
this courtroom, ladies and gentle
men, for the last four months, is
what a guilty man has to say in re
sponse to all this evidence: ‘It’s all
planted. It’s all contaminated
the photos are fake.... Even
ness is lying or mistaken.Then
ctcf
Simpson
conspiracy the likes ofwhichi
er before has been witnessed-
to get me.’ ... That’s whatag
man does,” Petrocelli said.
Mindful of recent polls si
mg growing doubts about S
son’s acquittal, Baker askec ,
unsequestered panel to disre .0 Ct
the idea that the public w
Simpson to be held respow
for the murders.
“The media has toldthewoi
is politically correct to be anti
Simpson, and you, ladiesandi
tlemen, are the buffers,” hei
“You have to weigh theevidi|va
through your common sense.’
Arlington may test prom-goers for drinkin
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — She is picture-
perfect in her taffeta gown and wrist corsage.
He’s wearing a rented tux for the first time. The
limousine delivers them to the front door of
the hotel.
It’s prom night in the suburbs. But this year,
the music might not play until the happy cou
ple go through the same breath test that the
police give to suspected drunken drivers.
The school board in this city of almost 300,000
residents is scheduled to vote Feb. 6 on whether
all prom-goers must pass a test to ensure they
have not been drinking alcohol.
"Our goal is not to take away from the festivi
ties, but to allow the students to participate in an
alcohol-free prom,” Steve Jacoby said, executive
director of student services for the 53,141-stu
dent district.
The proposal would require all participants to
pass breath or saliva tests before they will be ad
mitted to the dance.
Jacoby said the recommendation was the idea
of a 22-member committee of parent-teacher or
ganizations, principals and student representa
tives from the district’s five high schools, along
with senior-class sponsors and police.
" We have a responsibility and an obligati
provide a safe environment for students. Ale
is illegal, at least for high school students,ai
must do all we can to uphold the law/’hes
Lamar High School senior Trevor Ham
and his friends scoffed at the notion tl
breath test would ensure that kids donotdi
on prom night.
“Haven’t any of the people who makel
rules ever gone to prom?” Hamilton saidll
day while walking to class. “You don't get da
before the prom and go drunk ...You getdi
after the prom is over. Silly adults.”
