Kato askes if OJ would like to meet a Playboy model -- and runs out to buy the issue where she is pictured. He introduces OJ to her by phone -- the long distance charges confirm the call. |

| 1800 | Marcuys Allen and Al Cowlings return from looking at Hummers After his Basketball game, Brian Kato Kaelin stops at VONS for food -- which he eats in his car; afterward, still hungry, he returns home. |
What sinister implications can we derive from the fact Kaelin ate in his car?Fifty percent of average daily revenues, for the typical MacDonald's, are derived from their Drive-Thru Window. The average celebrity avoids establishments which require them to stand-in-line. Phrased another way, celebrities avoid situations which invite unrestricted exposure to the general public.
For context: President William Clinto is reportedly adicted to McDonald's Cheeseburgers, but how often does he stand-in-line waiting to be served?
VON's has no drive-thru window, Kaelin was not a celebrity, nor did he have a limousine scheduled for arrival within the hour. However, Clark implied a sinister purpose to Simpson's use of the Drive-Thru, which she did not ascribe to Kaelin's activities. | | Those who begin with an assumption of guilt retroactively impute sinister context to normal activities. Those who who expect accusations to be based in facts, tolerate no such "hindsight". | |

| 1830 | Sydney Simpson Dance Recital ends, Paul Revere High School. |
| 1840 | Nicole & party of ten arrive at Mezzaluna Resturant. Nicole is wearing a Mid-thigh Black Halter Dress. |
| 1845 | JOHN ANTHONY DE BELLO {General Manager} arrives at Mezzaluna; Nicole & party of ten are already there. |
| 1850 | In his June 13th statement, Simpson tells the police he arrived home at "seven-something", changed cars and called Paula Barbieri.
At the Criminal Trial, it became apparent that no cellphone calls were made to Paula around this time.
The Civil Plaintiff introduced a phone bill for Simpson's home, thus established Simpson was NOT in the Bronco around 7:00 PM; instead, they established he was retrieving his voicemail messages.
It was at this moment that Kato was returning to Rockingham. Kato did NOT see the Bronco on Ashford when he parked his car.
Kato enters Kitchen, interrupting Simpson in the process of retrieving Paula's Message.The Civil Trial revelation establishes why Clark chose to release the Police Statement to the media, rather tha introduce it to the jury. Had she introduced it, it would have immediately been discredited by the phone bill. The media performed its role predictably -- they promoted the idea Simpson was out wandering aimlessly, when in fact he was home. The Plaintiff uses Paula's message to assert a justification for "rage". However, events earlier in the day establish the message would more likely generate feelings of relief. Simpson is relieved of the responsibility for terminating the Barbieri relationship. We know from Kato's testimony that, at 2:30 (1430), Simpson had already begun the process of finding her replacement.
Phone records -- surpressed as part of Marcia Clark's strategy -- show he was home before 7:00 PM. |
| 1855 | Kato returns home just as Simpson is in the kitchen collecting his voice-mail. Simpson hears Paula's message, but dismisses it as her normal complaigning about his love of golf. He'll call her later to straighten things out; in the meantime, |
| Surpressed by the Criminal Prosecutors, the Civil Trial reveals Simpson used his house phone to check his messages. Surpression of the exact times was a repeated prosecution strategy; in this case, to do so required exclusion of the Police Statement. With the statement excluded the prosecution, the defense had no basis to bring in the time, as established by the telephone records. This is important because it establishes he was home, NOT out looking for Paula -- as he believed when he gave his statement on the 13th. Kato arrives just as Simpson is receiving the message from Paula -- Kato's arrival distracts Simpson from comprehending the content of her message. Simpson assumes she's once again upset about his having left her bed to play golf. |

|---|
| 2100 | Simpson calls Christian Reichardt. |
| | Faye Resnick calls Nicole Brown Simpson. Converstaion, from pay phone at Rehab Center, lasts 30 minutes.Resnick & Nicole on PhoneFaye Resnick's testimony creates another time when accuracy of time becomes important. Was Nicole on the phone from 9:00 to 9:30 PM? The time of the call will help establish the time that Simpson spoke to Sydney. This conversation now takes on significance -- the accuracy of Resnick's testimony will be balanced by that of Sydney Simpson. Resnick's testimony, repeated at the Civil Trial, would almost mandate that Sydney will be called to testify as to the events at Bundy -- up till the time she went to bed. |
| | Judith Brown calls Mezzaluna, speaks to Karen Lee Crawford, who then places her on hold, goes outside & locates dropped glasses on the black top, few inches from the gutter -- cleans off mud, places glasses in envelop mark with name & words "Nicole Simpson, Prescription Glasses" & seals envelope. |

| 2113 | LOPEZ sees Simpson & Kaelin leave for McDonald's. While they are out, she is visited by "Sylvia" an undocumented worker -- after Sylvia leaves, Lopez hears prowler.
The prosecution pressures various defense witnesses and engages in coercion which -- while "technically" justifiable during the criminal trial -- would have been an issue had an appeal of a guilty verdict been required. One of the effects was to force Sylvia to avoid providing corrobrative testimony for Rosa. |
