The results of the DNA tests at a Maryland lab were contained in court papers filed today by prosecutors. Although the papers suggested blood matches, they did not include a breakdown of the statistical odds of such matches.
The results of so-called DNA fingerprinting likely will be the most important evidence against Simpson, since there are no known witnesses to the killings.

Prosecutors have alleged Simpson left blood at the murder scene when he cut his finger during a struggle. The 47-year-old Simpson has pleaded innocent to murder charges in the June 12 deaths. Trial was set for Sept.

your monthly phone bill
You don't have to be a calc professor to see you could save more with AT&T True USA Savings.
It's true—if you live off campus, AT&T True USA Savings really could save you more. Just look up your average monthly long distance bill on the chart, and see for yourself.
Now here's why. AT&T's and MCI's basic rates start off about the same. Then, with Friends and Family, MCI advertises 20% off your long distance calls, but—here's the catch—only if they're to MCI users who are also on your calling circle list. Truth is, two-thirds of most Friends and Family members' calls aren't to those selected people. So the average discount you end up seeing on your bill is only $6\%$.* Not the 20% you expected.
AT&T True USA Savings is a whole lot simpler. Spend $25 a month, and we'll subtract 20% off your bill. The full 20% not some conditional percentage. Spend $75 a month, and we'll take 30% off. You can save on calls to anyone, anytime anywhere in the good old U.S. of A.** No restrictions. No calling circles. No disappointments.
So take a good look at the chart (you can ask a math major for help) and check out who's saving you what. We think you'll find you could be saving a lot more with AT&T.Call 1800-TRUE-USA." And get all the savings you expect.
