Simpson returns to stand; DNA, shoe questions likely
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — It's time for O.J.
Simpson to face the evidence.
After testifying Friday, he returns to the stand today.
But what does he say about the pictures of the Bruno Magli shoes?
"This is the big game, and he's used to winning. But he hasn't been through this test before," said Laurie Levenson, Loyola Law School dean. "Now, it's O.J. vs the DNA and the shoes."
Simpson can repeat that he never owned the shoes, which tracked blood around the bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. or He can do what legal analysts predict: Ignore the subject.
"The toughest thing he has to do is come up with an explanation of the shoes," said Levenson, who sees the plaintiffs' additional 30 photographs of Simpson wearing the shoes as a master stroke in the civil case.
The problem is that if he says anything about the shoes it opens the door to rebuttal testimony from the
plaintiffs' shoe and photo experts, who will seek to tie the shoes more tightly to Simpson.
A single picture that surfaced a few months ago had been challenged as a fraud by a defense expert, Robert Groden.
But while Groden was testifying, plaintists' attorney Daniel Petrocelli found 30 additional shots, which were taken by a different photographer at the same Buffalo Bills football game. Simpson was working as a TV commentator, and the photographs showed Simpson wearing what appeared to be the rare model of shoes linked to the killings.
"As much as possible, the defense should divert the jury's attention from the overwhelming physical evidence and focus Mr. Simpson's charac-
accused of killing.
Simpson was acquitted of murdering Nicole Simpson and Goldman in a sensational criminal trial. Families of the victims now are suing him for millions of dollars. They claim that the verdict was wrong and that he is responsible for the killings.
ter," said Peter Arenela, UCLA law professor. That was the strategy Friday when Simpson spent three hours on the stand describing scenes from his difficult marriage and exuding a warm concern for the woman he is
Simpson is likely to describe his actions on the day of the murders and explain a so-called breakup phone call from girlfriend Paula Barbleri. He also may talk about his last contact with Nicole Simpson.

Shuttle speeds toward Mir to trade crew, supplies
Atlantis is expected to dock at station tomorrow evening
The Associated Press
"Starting off the new year right," said Jim Harrington, NASA launch director.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Atlantis soared into a cool, clear sky yesterday and began chasing the Russian space station Mir to pick up an American astronaut.
Mir was crossing the Galapagos islands when Atlantis blasted off
2,400 miles away with six astronauts, including Jerry Linenger, Blaha's replacement.
If Atlantis returns to Earth as scheduled on Jan. 22, Blaha will have spent 128 days in space. The 54-year-old retired Air Force colonel has been living on Mir since September.
That would bring the big-time football fan back in time for the Super Bowl. Even more, he's looking forward to seeing Brenda, his wife of 30 years.
"I had no idea, I must say, how I would feel about the separation from her." he said last week.
can to live on Mir, also expects to miss family the most during his 4 1/2-month mission. He has a yearold son., and his wife of nearly six years is due to give birth in late June, one month after he's due back on Earth.
Lineinger, 41, a physician who will be the fourth and youngest Ameri-
The oldest part of Mir has been in orbit 11 years. At the moment of Atlantis' launch, the station was on its 62,271st orbit and had logged 1.6 billion miles.
Russian space officials acknowledged that the U.S. shuttle resupply trips are crucial. Atlantis, for instance, will drop off 3,600 pounds of supplies and bring back 2,300 pounds of gear.
Frank Culbertson, NASA's shuttle Mir program manager, said that learning how to work with the Russians in space was the program's No. 1 goal.
