...history of the mismanagement of this case begins in Texas. The state courts, through an incredible contortion of reason and good sense, managed to convict two people for the very same crime. To do that, the courts had to rely on the following incredible contention: the knowledge that Ms. Hogan was in fact the trigger-woman did not constitute new evidence that might bear on the case of Mr. Jacobs.

...statements to the media, his side is apparently leaking again. Quoting defense sources, the Associated Press reported today that prosecutors drilled out the lock on Nicole Brown Simpson's safe-deposit box and seized photographs of her with a bruised forehead and injured left eye. The pictures show injuries Ms. Simpson had after police were summoned to the Simpson home in 1989. Simpson pleaded no contest to spousal battery in that incident. Prosecutors are expected to argue that the photos show a pattern of spouse abuse by O.J. Simpson. The defense is likely to try to block...
