THE COURT: You may step down.

MR. GELBLUM: Your Honor, next we have a series of four people, also who are
photographers who took pictures of Mr. Simpson. All of them are unavailable,
and all of them, we'd like to read in their criminal trial testimony.

MR. BAKER: I'd object to the reading of -- there's been no showing of
unavailability. There has been no showing of unavailability of Stewart West.

MR. GELBLUM: Your Honor, he lives in the Oakland area. And 20 -- 2025, we can
use his deposition if he's more than 150 flight miles from here. It's trial
testimony.

MR. BAKER: Your Honor, they subpoenaed him and they have served him, and he
should be here to be examined.

I think that the subpoena power is in effect throughout the state.

THE COURT: What is the code section we referred to earlier with regards to
distances?

MR. GELBLUM: I'm sorry, Your Honor; I referred to 2025, which is for
depositions, Your Honor. 2025(u), I believe it is.

THE COURT: Not if this witness has been subpoenaed.

MR. GELBLUM: We did send him a subpoena.

THE COURT: Excuse me?

MR. GELBLUM: We did send him a subpoena.

THE COURT: Did you send him or serve him?

MR. GELBLUM: We sent him a subpoena. We contacted him by phone. He agreed to
accept service; we sent it by mail, and we haven't heard back.

THE COURT: Excuse me?

MR. GELBLUM: We sent him -- we mailed him, after he agreed to accept the
subpoena by mail, and we have not heard back from him since.

MR. BAKER: There's a proof of service, Your Honor? That doesn't look like a
proof of service to me.

THE COURT: All right. With regards to all of the other named persons in the
declaration, I'll allow the deposition.

You may offer me some points and authorities as to whether or not this witness
should be ordered to appear by body attachment or otherwise.

MR. GELBLUM: Very good. Thank you, Your Honor.

"Q. And that's a clip of?

"A. Bengals, Oilers play-off game, January 6, 1991 at River Front Stadium in
Cincinnati."

MR. GELBLUM: Thank you. I apologize.

MR. P. BAKER: No problem.

Do you want me to start over, Ms. Malinaro.

MR. GELBLUM: I would move into evidence, 654, the video.

THE COURT: Received.

(The instrument herein referred to as a video of O.J. Simpson giving commentary
was received in evidence as Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 654.)

MR. P. BAKER: (Reading:)

"Q. Mr. Renken, good afternoon.

"A. Good afternoon, sir.

"Q. January '91 in Cincinnati, that's a pretty cold time of year there, isn't
it?

"A. Yes, it is.

"Q. And at this game, was it very cold?

"A. It was cold, rainy, moist.

"Q. It's not unusual -- I take it there are a lot of other people in the
stadium with gloves?

"A. I imagine.

"Q. Brown gloves?

"A. All different kinds of gloves.

"Q. It's not particularly unusual to have brown gloves in the cold in winter?

"A. I assume.

"Q. In fact, did you notice in the video that everybody that was walking around
in the background behind Mr. Simpson was also wearing gloves?

"A. I didn't really pay that much attention, but I assume in that climate of
weather, individuals wear gloves of any nature.

"Q. Now, just how cold was it that particular day?

"A. It could have been in the 20's, early 30's.

"Q. Did you at any time, get close enough to Mr. Simpson to determine whether
or not he had a heat pack in the palm of his hand -- in the palm of his gloves?

"A. No, I couldn't tell.

"Q. You know what I mean by heat pack?

"A. Yes. I'm familiar.

"Q. Have you seen those used at football games to keep your hands warm?

"A. Sort of.

"Q. Now, you said you notified the prosecution that you had pictures, when, for
the first time.

"MR. GELBLUM: Objection. Irrelevant.

"THE COURT: Overruled.

"THE WITNESS: Do I need to answer that?

"Q. Yeah.

"A. It was June, around 26th.

"Q. June 26?

"A. June around the 26th."

MR. GELBLUM: Line 24, I think.

(Ms. Molinaro continues reading:)

"A. Around June 26th, Jack Webster, former employee of Euro photo, sent out a
20 by 30 poster print.

"Q. ... (sic) I think you indicated that some of those pictures are at the
beginning of the game and some are at the end of the game. Is that what you
indicated?

""A. Half time and at the end of the game, right.

"Q. Do you have any from the beginning?

"A. No, I don't.

"Q. All right. Now, the ones up here, which one is from half time and which one
is at the end of the game?

"A. The ones from half time, sir, are the horizontal, him holding the blue
umbrella.

"Q. All right. The first one of your pictures on the left?

"A. Yes."

"Q. And the one from after the game is the one on the right?

"A. Yes."

(Photos are displayed.)

"Q. ... (sic) was it raining during this whole game?

"A. Pretty much.

"Q. Did Mr. Simpson have an umbrella most of the time when he wasn't on camera?

"A. There were times I remember seeing him out without it in the runway area,
but then, when they did the interviews, except for the postgame, there was no
umbrella used. But the half time there was.

"Q. Okay. Now, you notice in the picture that you indicated is from the half
time -- you can come down here and look at it a little more carefully if you'd
like -- around the wrist area of the gloves, they appear to be bunched up like
there's extra leather.

MR. GELBLUM: Objection."

MR. GALBLUM: Calls for conclusion.

MR. BAKER: Is that objection in the transcript?

MR. GELBLUM: No.

MR. BAKER: Then I object to his objection.

MR. GELBLUM: You can make new objections.

MR. BAKER: I don't think so. Not when they offer the deposition or the prior --
Prior testimony. They can't offer an objection to it.

MR. GELBLUM: I didn't offer this portion, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Sustained.

MR. BAKER: Your Honor, may I be heard on that?

THE COURT: You may.

MR. BAKER: Thank you.

(The following proceedings were held at the bench:)

MR. BAKER: Objection was first of all overruled in the criminal court. Second
of all, he asked this witness for exactly the same conclusions. He's asked him
about now. He asked about rain drops. He asked this witness through the
deposition, or the trial transcript, rather, to make the very same conclusions
that we're asking this witness to make.

And hence, there's no basis that this witness doesn't have any foundation for
-- plus when they offer the prior trial transcript, it's my understanding that
they can't object when it hasn't been objected to. In this case, it's been
overruled.

MR. GELBLUM: We can offer new objections. from anything. I don't know of
anything at all that prevents us from doing that. It's evidentiary issues.

Secondly, we did not ask for this kind of conclusion about "the glove was
bunched up."

Thirdly, they could have objected. Just because they didn't object, doesn't
mean we can't object and the objection would be improper.

THE COURT: Well, you cite me the code section.

MR. GELBLUM: Which code section?

THE COURT: Cite me a code section.

MR. GELBLUM: I'm not aware of a code section. I'm not aware of code section.

THE COURT: You're not aware of a code section dealing with the use of
depositions?

MR. GELBLUM: This is not deposition. This is prior testimony from the criminal
case, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Why are you calling it a deposition?

MR. GELBLUM: I wasn't, Your Honor. This is prior -- I thought I made it clear.
This is the testimony. I said to the jury, this is testimony offered at the
criminal trial.

MR. PETROCELLI: 1291 of the evidence code.

MR. GELBLUM: That's prior testimony. I apologize if I said something to mislead
you.

THE COURT: I think this testimony is being offered under 1291 of the evidence
code.

MR. GELBLUM: Yes, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Okay.

And 1291 says, subdivision B says the admissibility of former testimony under
the section is subject to the same limitations and objections as though the
declarant were testifying at the hearing, except that former testimony offered
under this section is not subject to 1) objections, 2) the form of the
question, which was not made at the time the former testimony was given. And
objections with regards to competency.

MR. GELBLUM: This objection was made.

MR. BAKER: It was not. The objection was made, I think, from -- you want to
look at it?

MR. GELBLUM: It wasn't the form. It was relevance.

MR. BAKER: "Photograph speaks for itself," and I think under the -- this is not
an objection that can be well taken.

MR. PETROCELLI: The objection was as to form.

THE COURT: Wait a minute. Let me read it. I can't chew gum and walk at the same
time.

(There was a pause in the proceedings to allow the Court to read the
testimony.)

MR. GELBLUM: I think --

THE COURT: Will you stop it. Let me read.

(Pause in the proceedings.)

THE COURT: After looking at the rest of the testimony, what you're arguing
about, I don't know.

I'm going to overrule. There's nothing of consequence that follows. Overruled.

MR. GELBLUM: I have an extra set of the testimony. Would you like --

THE COURT: Not really. Okay.

MR. P. BAKER: I'm going to read the question back. (Reading:)

Now, you notice in the picture that you've indicated is from the half time --
you can come down here and look at it a little more carefully, if you'd like to
-- around the wrist area of the gloves, they appear to be bunched up like
there's extra leather."

THE COURT REPORTER: Excuse me can you tell me what number that is, the board,
for the record?

(Mr. P. Baker displays Exhibit No. 646.)

MR. P. BAKER: (Reading:)

"Q. Did you notice that?

"A. Sure.

"Q. And that's consistent with what you saw that day?

"A. Well, I wasn't looking at his gloves. I wasn't looking at how they were
bound up. I was just shooting the ... (sic) I was not so much shooting the
gloves. I was shooting the individual at the time.

"Q. Now, take a look at the one from the post game. Do you see that it's
bunched up around the wrist area, there's some extra leather?"

MR. P. BAKER: 606 is displayed. 606 -- 641. 641 is actually displayed.

(Exhibit 641 is displayed.)

MR. P. BAKER: (Reading:)

"Q. Would you take a look at after the game?

"A. Uh-huh."

(Continues reading on page 45028, line 18:)

"Q. Now, would you like to look at your other pictures and tell me if they
appear to be consistent with the ones you've just talked about on the board?

"A. Yes, they are, sir.

"Q. Okay. And those are all consistent with what you've told us about?

"A. Yes.

"Q. Now, I think you indicated that the video was -- the first part of the
video was half time?

"A. Yes.

"Q. About 2:45 I think you said?

"A. About that time."

MR. P. BAKER: Okay. Could we put the video up at frame 544?

(Video at frame 544 displayed.)

MR. P. BAKER: (Reading:)

"Q. See the time on that tape Mr. Renken?

"A. Yes, sir.

"Q. That's not half time, is it?

"A. That's not half time?

"Q. That's the beginning of the game, isn't it, before the game?

"A. ... (sic) Could be. It's -- Uh, oh, I see. Okay. The five -- I'm sorry. I
didn't understand what -- the 544. Okay. That's the actual time of footage,
right?

"Q. You're the one that identified the videotape. You tell me.

"A. That's correct.

"Q. What?

"A. ... (sic) That was -- that was quite awhile.

"Q. The video indicates it was 12:03, doesn't it?

"A. Excuse me?

"Q. The video indicates 12:03, doesn't it?

"A. Yes.

"Q. And that's the pre-game, isn't it?

"A. Oh, okay? Excuse me. That was the pre-game interview."

(Continues reading as follows:)

"Q. Does the video here, the right hand area, the wrist, look the same as your
pictures?

"A. Yes, they do.

MR. P. BAKER: "That's all I have."

MR. GELBLUM: Nothing further.

The next witness, Your Honor, is Kevin Schott, S-C-H-O-T-T.

(Ms. Molinaro assumed the witness stand and reads the answers from the
deposition of Kevin Schott.)

(Mr. Gelblum reads the questions and narrative portions of the deposition of
Kevin Schott.)

(Exhibit 655 is displayed on Screen.)

"A. It is a photo that I sent to my lawyer.

"Q. Okay. Is that the photograph that you took at the game on November 21, 1993
in New York?

"A. Yes, it is."

(Reading continued as follows:)

"Q. Showing you these photographs" -- and that's 655 which we have on the
screen now, 656, and 657 -- "can you tell us if you recognize these
photographs?

"A. Yes, I do.

"Q. How do you recognize them?

"A. They're photographs that I took at the game.

"Q. I'm sorry. Yes.

"A. Yes. I sent the film out to be developed.

film?

"A. No."

MR. GELBLUM: Okay. Your Honor, I'd move into evidence exhibits 655, 656, and
657.

THE COURT: Received.

(The instrument herein referred to as front view photo of O.J. Simpson with
glove on right hand holding microphone was marked for identification and
received in evidence as Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 655.)

(The instrument herein referred to as close-up photo of O.J. Simpsons' gloved
right hand was marked for identification andreceivedd in evidence as
Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 656.)

(The instrument herein referred to as enlarged, side-view photo of O.J. Simpson
with glove on right hand was marked for identification and received in evidence
as Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 657.)

MR. GELBLUM: Nothing further.

MR. P. BAKER: 45044. (Reading:)

"Q. Good afternoon, Mr. Schott?

"A. Good afternoon.

"Q. How are you doing?

"A. Fine, thank you.

"Q. November of '93 is when these pictures were taken, correct?

"A. Correct.

"Q. In Buffalo?

"A. In Buffalo.

"Q. Do you live in Buffalo?

"A. I live in Orchard Park.

"Q. Is that near Buffalo?

"A. It's near Buffalo.

"Q. November in the Buffalo area generally isn't cool. It's generally very,
very cold. Was this an unusually warm day or a cold day?

"A. I'm not a weatherman, but in Buffalo in November, we could have some days
where they start out cool. For example, today I believe it's getting warmer,
and the afternoons can warm up.

"Q. Okay. But November -- I mean, we're just in early September?

"A. Correct. But in November, you could have some nice days where it's cool in
the morning and then it will warm up.

"Q. Okay. How many people were in the stadium roughly, if you know? Was it sold
out?

"A. My best guess is yes, it was but I don't know that for a fact.

"Q. A lot of people wearing gloves?

"A. I don't believe so. I wasn't looking for that.

"Q. Okay. So you don't know?

"A. I really don't know.

"Q. Is there anything particularly unusual about wearing gloves on that day?

"A. No.

"Q. Do you have men's gloves?

"A. Yes, I do.

"Q. Now are these the only pictures that you took?

"A. No, they're not.

"Q. All right. And where are the other pictures? ... (sic) I meant that
afternoon of Mr. Simpson?

"A. Of Mr. Simpson?

"Q. Yes.

"A. I believe the District Attorney has what I printed up."

MR. P. BAKER: And where are the other pictures? (Reading:)

"Q. Those are the ones you've identified here in court today and it's actually
only two different pictures, is it? Am I correct in that?

"A. Correct.

"Q. Now, I think you indicated you had a lawyer?

"A. Yes, I do.

"Q. Dealing with these pictures?

"A. Yes, I do.

"Q. When did you send the pictures that you took of Mr. Simpson to the
prosecution?"

MR. GELBLUM: Objection. Irrelevant.

THE COURT: Overruled.

MR. P. BAKER: Down at the bottom of the page (reading):

"A. I talked to my friend, who happens to be my lawyer, and I believe it was
somewhere between June 23 and June 26.

"Q. Of this year?

"A. Of this year, 1995.

"Q. Did you try to sell them to Inside_Edition before you sent them to the
prosecution?

"A. I did not try to sell them to Inside_Edition.

"Q. Did your attorney, on your behalf, try to sell them?

"A. I don't believe he did either. I'm not sure.

"Q. Was contact made with Inside_ Edition to try and negotiate the sale of
these pictures?

"A. It may have been. I don't know.

"Q. Did you authorize him to do that?

"A. No, I did not.

"Q. Do you have any knowledge of your attorney trying to sell these pictures on
your behalf?"

THE COURT: I'll sustain my own objection to that. It's getting irrelevant.

MR. P. BAKER: Okay. Page 45048, down in the middle of the page, "who is your
lawyer?"

MR. GELBLUM: Objection. Irrelevant.

THE COURT: Sustained.

MR. P. BAKER: That's all I have.

MR. GELBLUM: Nothing further. And that's it. That's it for these witnesses,
Your Honor.

THE COURT: I'm ready to rule on West.

MR. GELBLUM: Okay.

THE COURT: Okay. Objection sustained. Witness served within the jurisdiction.
This is -- he is not unavailable under 240 of the evidence code.

MR. GELBLUM: We'll try to bring him in, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Okay.

MR. KELLY: Next witness, Judge, or do you want to break.

THE COURT: Take ten minute recess. Ladies and gentlemen, don't talk about the
case, don't form or express any opinion.

(Recess.)

(Jurors resume their respective seats.)

(The following proceedings were held in open court, in the presence of the
jury.)

MR. KELLY: Your Honor, we'd like to call our next witness, Richard Rubin.

Judge, well, he's on his way.

Could we approach?

THE COURT: Okay.

MR. KELLY: Judge, this witness, Richard Rubin, was a former employee, the
general manager, and VP of Aris, the manufacturer of this glove.

We're putting him on the stand to discuss the characteristics of this
particular glove, to identify the glove, some of the photographs that were just
put into evidence, and to discuss the manufacture and et cetera, the crime
scene photos.

And I don't want to be put in the position where I -- where on cross, Mr. Baker
may ask for a demonstration, or put up on the Elmo, photographs or video from
the criminal trial of Mr. Simpson's deposition.

And I just don't want that put to the jury without any notice, because once
that's done, there's no way to get away from that.

We certainly do not intend to approach that on our direct case, Your Honor.

MR. BAKER: Your Honor, they have listed this guy as an expert. And I don't
think you can play hide the ball with every witness. They played it with about
15 others so far.

Whatever the number is, you can't play hide the ball with experts. I get to
cross-examine on full breadth of his experience.

And he was called back in the criminal trial for the express purpose, after the
gloves didn't fit, and testified relative to that. And he is an alleged expert
on these gloves. And I think I am entitled to a full and complete
cross-examination, including the video of Mr. Simpson, those gloves not
fitting.

MR. KELLY: Judge, first of all, that's only one man's opinion of whether they
fit or not.

But secondly, that was from the criminal trial, Mr. Simpson --

THE COURT: If you're offering this man as an expert, certainly that's within
the cross-examination.

MR. KELLY: I'm not questioning the bounds of the cross-examination; it's the
demonstration part, the videotape that might pop up on the screen.

First of all, Your Honor, there was -- at the criminal case, he was not subject
to cross-examination. It was done under questionable controls. We don't know
whether his weight has changed, whether his hand size has changed; we don't
know any of those things. We have no control over it. It was not put on for
purposes --

THE COURT: If you're going to ask about fit --

MR. PETROCELLI: We're not.

MR. KELLY: We're not.

THE COURT: What are you going to ask him?

MR. KELLY: He's going to be identifying the photographs of Mr. Simpson,
identifying the gloves he's wearing in there, and identifying the crime-scene
gloves, also, in terms of the manufacture, make, model, style, size, whether
they're a pair or not, things like that.

THE COURT: With the idea of what?

MR. KELLY: Hooking them up to the receipts, Your Honor, that we put into
evidence yesterday.

THE COURT: With the idea of what?

MR. KELLY: To suggest that he owned these gloves.

THE COURT: Well, but "doesn't fit" have something to do with it?

MR. PETROCELLI: He can't --

MR. KELLY: He can't -- go ahead.

MR. PETROCELLI: You can't --

THE COURT: If you open it up, he's going to cross-examine.

MR. PETROCELLI: That's what we're here to find out.

He cannot put on in this case a videotape that's not in the official record. A
camera -- videotape from Court TV or image of Mr. Simpson trying on gloves in
the criminal case, it's hearsay as to this case.

This expert's not relying on that. He can -- he can ask --

THE COURT: He's not -- I'm sure he's not relying on it. Mr. Baker wants to
cross-examine.

MR. PETROCELLI: He can cross-examine this expert about his observations in the
courtroom, but he can't play the TV coverage of that event.

And I think under 352, as well as the hearsay rule, it's not proper.

Your Honor, there was a lot of controversy surrounding how he put the gloves
on. He had latex gloves underneath those in the criminal case. We don't want to
get into that in this case.

MR. BAKER: But --

MR. PETROCELLI: You can cross-examine him fully. You can't bring in TV
coverage.

MR. BAKER: Yes, I can.

MR. PETROCELLI: No, you can't, any more than I can bring in TV coverage of
witnesses who testified.

In the criminal trial, Mr. Simpson was not subject to cross-examination.

THE COURT: There is no cross-examination; it's a visual depiction of him trying
on gloves, period. There's no testimony.

MR. PETROCELLI: He can testify as to what he saw. But, Your Honor, I think it's
highly inappropriate to let him play television coverage from another trial.
And also, Mr. Simpson --

THE COURT: You showed pictures of him at football games with gloves on.

MR. PETROCELLI: Those are authenticated by independent witnesses.

THE COURT: I don't have any problem with authenticating those glove pictures.
Do you?

MR. PETROCELLI: We think it's highly prejudicial and hearsay to put this guy up
in front of this jury to go through a dog and pony show of how other lawyers
decided to make him try on gloves.

THE COURT: You put him on --

MR. PETROCELLI: We're --

THE COURT: -- I'm going to allow him to --

MR. PETROCELLI: You're not going to --

THE COURT: -- to be cross-examined.

MR. PETROCELLI: We're going to ask him -- to ask him to identify in the photos.

THE COURT: No; you want to connect the gloves up with the defendant.

MR. PETROCELLI: Absolutely.

THE COURT: Fine. I think fit is part of it.

MR. PETROCELLI: We have no --

THE COURT: Yes --

MR. PETROCELLI: Why should he show a video of what happened in that court case
be played in the trial?

THE COURT: What happened?

MR. PETROCELLI: Your Honor, he even -- he had latex gloves underneath. That
wasn't a control.

THE COURT: That's something you can establish on your examination, on your
redirect.

MR. PETROCELLI: We vigorously object to this, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Well, your objection is noted.

MR. PETROCELLI: I think it's highly improper to poison this jury when what
happened in that case. It's hearsay, in addition, to have him get up in front
of this jury --

THE COURT: It's appropriate cross-examination. You're putting on an expert for
the purpose of connecting the defendant to this glove; and I think the defense
has to have a reasonable opportunity to cross-examine everything, including
this purported demonstration.

MR. PETROCELLI: He can cross him on that, but why play the video?

THE COURT: So we can see it. What's better than seeing it?

MR. PETROCELLI: Because we had nothing to do with how those gloves were put on,
nor did this expert here, either.

THE COURT: I don't think that's relevant.

MR. PETROCELLI: Oh, Your Honor, I disagree with that.

Very respectfully, I think this is highly prejudicial to our case.

THE COURT: That's part of your case?

MR. PETROCELLI: Not what this these criminal lawyers did is not part of our
case. You're going to turn us into -- I'm not going to mention anything on the
record beyond what I've said.

THE COURT: All I'm saying is that the visual depiction of what Mr. Simpson did
with the gloves is an appropriate part of the cross-examination, where you are
offering a witness trying to connect up the glove to Simpson.

MR. KELLY: Judge --

MR. PETROCELLI: I can't make my argument any more clear.

THE COURT: Well, I can't make my ruling any clearer.

MR. PETROCELLI: Judge, could we take ten minutes? Because --

MR. BREWER: Yeah, we need to talk about this.

THE COURT: Excuse me?

MR. KELLY: Could we take a few minutes?

THE COURT: Mr. Baker, they're still talking.

MR. BAKER: I'm sorry.

THE COURT: If you don't want to be part of it, that's okay.

MR. BAKER: No. I thought we just --

I apologize, sir. I thought we finished.

THE COURT: They don't want to go away.

MR. PETROCELLI: Better off staying back. I haven't said a word.

THE COURT: All right. Say what you said in his absence.

MR. PETROCELLI: Your ruling --

THE COURT: Wait a minute. He said something in his absence.

MR. PETROCELLI: Say it again.

MR. KELLY: All I asked was for ten or fifteen minutes at this time to discuss
it.

MR. BAKER: Fine.

MR. PETROCELLI: It's your ruling that he can play the video of the criminal
trial?

THE COURT: My ruling is if you offered this witness to testify as to the
gloves, and in an effort to connect the defendant up with the gloves, by
definition, the question of whether or not the glove fit him has to be part of
the connection. And that's an area that the defense has a right to
cross-examine about.

And the cross-examination may include any demonstration, physical depiction of
Mr. Simpson allegedly trying on the gloves. And that's part of the
cross-examination.

MR. PETROCELLI: Can we have a ruling through our witness he can't put the
gloves on his client during this phase?

THE COURT: I will make this ruling: If Mr. Simpson wants to try on the gloves,
he's going to have to try it on without latex gloves.

MR. PETROCELLI: Can we have him putting the gloves on out of the presence?

THE COURT: I'm not going to make him put on the gloves.

MR. PETROCELLI: We don't want to, either. We want a ruling if he is, are you
going to permit him to put on gloves in this phase of the examination in our
case?

THE COURT: Only if he puts it on without latex.

MR. PETROCELLI: You plan to have him do that?

THE COURT: I don't think it's a fair depiction, a fair cross-examination. To
that extent, I agree with you. But nevertheless, that's part of the physical
evidence on which the defense can cross-examine, and --

MR. PETROCELLI: I would request that if you do decide to put the gloves on, in
addition to no latex, that they be put on out of the presence of the jury, and
that he can show the jury the gloves on his hand, but not struggling -- not
struggling to get the gloves on, Your Honor.

MR. BAKER: No.

MR. PETROCELLI: We have no control over that. If he wants to do that in his
case when he puts his client on, that's one thing; he doesn't have to do that
in our case. He wants to cross-examine the witness, that's fine, but not going
to have his client showing up in the middle of our case and put on the gloves
under circumstances we don't control.

THE COURT: Okay. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

MR. PETROCELLI: You'll give us fair warning?

MR. BAKER: Of course.

MR. KELLY: Can we take 15 minutes, Judge?

THE COURT: Go to your room.

(Indicating to jury.)

(Laughter.)

THE COURT: It will be about 15 minutes.

(Jurors resume their respective seats.)

(The following proceedings were held in open court, in the presence of the
jury.)

THE CLERK: Please raise your right hand.

RICHARD RUBIN, called as a witness on behalf of Plaintiffs, was duly sworn and
testified as follows:

THE CLERK: You do solemnly swear that the testimony you may give in the cause
now pending before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?

THE WITNESS: I do.

THE CLERK: Thank you. Please be seated.

THE WITNESS: Good morning,

THE CLERK: Sir, would you please state an spell your name for the record.

THE WITNESS: Richard Rubin, R-U-B-I-N.

DIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. KELLY:

Q. Morning, Mr. Rubin.

A. Good morning.

Q. Mr. Rubin, are you presently employed?

A. Yes, I am.

Q. And where are you employed?

A. I work for Westport Corporation, a manufacturer of small leather goods, in
the New York area.

Q. How long have you been employed there?

A. Six years.

Q. Prior to that, were you employed somewhere else?

A. Yes, I was.

Q. Where was that?

A. At Aris Isotoner, Inc., in New York City.

Q. And what type of company is Aris Isotoner?

A. It's a glove manufacturer and distribution organization.

Q. And approximately what time did you leave Aris' employ?

A. In August of 1990.

Q. And when you left there in August of 1990, what position did you hold with
Aris?

A. I was vice-president and general manager.

Q. And how long had you worked for Aris up to that point?

A. Little over 14 years.

Q. And as vice-president/general manager, what basically were your duties and
responsibilities at Aris during that time period?

A. My primary responsibility was the men's glove division, and my secondary
responsibility was leather manufacturing in the raw material and leather
manufacturing and the finished product for both men's and ladies'.

Q. Were you familiar with basically every aspect in terms of the styling,
manufacture, and final production marketing of the gloves made by Aris?

A. Yes, I was.

Q. Okay. And getting more specific now, are you familiar with the Aris men's
leather light glove?

A. Yes, I am.

Q. Okay. And could you describe that particular glove for me in general terms,
first of all?

A. In the most general terms, the uniqueness of the glove is the fact that the
leather is approximately 30 percent lighter than men's weight leather, ten
percent heavier than ladies' weight leather. It's actually about five
millimeters in thickness and it has a very unusual stitch pattern that puts the
gloves together, known as a Brossar stitch.

Q. Before we go any further, how would you describe this glove, once again in
general terms, in terms of top of the line, middle-market type item?

A. It's a real top-of-the-line product.

Q. Would you consider it a dressy glove?

A. It is a dress glove.

Q. And what colors was this particular glove, the Aris men's leather light,
made in, say, 1990?

A. Black, brown, medium brown, which was called mink, and gray.

Q. Okay. And what sizes?

A. Small, medium, large, and extra large.

Q. Okay. Now, this Aris men's leather light was manufactured by Aris; is that
correct?

A. Yes, it was.

Q. Okay. And where was that manufactured?

Where was -- where was the manufacturing taking place, actually?

A. For that glove, it was Metro Manila.

Q. And in what country?

A. Philippines.

Q. Okay.

Were there any particular years in which this Aris men's leather light glove
was manufactured?

A. It started in manufacturing in 1983, and commenced manufacturing with that
stitch pattern in 1992.

Q. Okay. And was there anybody in particular that this glove was manufactured
for?

A. It was manufactured exclusively for Bloomingdale's Department Stores, New
York City-based.

Q. When you say "manufactured exclusively," what do you mean by that?

A. Bloomingdale's, being a store of its caliber, they wanted to separate
themselves from competition, so they wanted a little bit higher quality product
that they could advertise that was exclusively theirs. It made them, you know,
just really feel that they were more important in that segment of the industry,
and they, you know, supported it by buying quite a bit of it.

Q. Okay.

Mr. Rubin, before we go on, I want to go back to one thing.

You indicated there was a particular stitch unique to this glove that we're
talking about, the Aris men's leather light glove?

A. The Brossar stitch.

Q. Do you know what year they started utilizing this stitch?

A. In this style or in any style?

Q. In any style.

A. Possibly over 100 years ago it was used in the production of gloves in
France. But to my knowledge, at Aris, it had not really been used in a men's
glove up until about 1983.

Q. Did there come a time that the stitch you're referring to in 1983 was
subsequently changed in terms of the manufacture of that particular glove?

A. Yes. At the end of '91 beginning of '92.

Q. So, I believe earlier, you had stated that that particular stitch started
being utilized.

MR. BAKER: I move to strike "relative to when that stitch was changed." There
is no foundation.

THE COURT: Overruled.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) You stated earlier, I don't know, that you realized they
started utilizing that Brossar stitch in 1992?

A. '82.

Q. '82. Okay.

And there came a time later on, that stitch -- they started using a different
stitch.

In what year was that?

A. '92.

Q. Okay.

Now, I want to direct your attention to 1990, specifically.

Mr. Rubin, first of all, could you just tell me how many gloves -- how many
pairs of gloves, total, across the nation, Aris Isotoner manufactured and
shipped for sale that year?

A. Over four million pair.

Q. Okay.

And in 1990, did Aris still have this exclusive relationship with
Bloomingdale's you spoke of?

A. Yes, they did.

Q. So all the Aris men's light leather gloves made by Aris were only sold in
Bloomingdale's; is that right?

A. That's right.

Q. And focusing on 1990, could you tell me how many pair of the Aris men's
leather light gloves were shipped to Bloomingdale's for sale?

A. It was approximately 10,000 pair.

Q. Okay.

And could you tell me, staying with 1990 still, approximately how many of those
10,000 pair were in the brown color?

A. Approximately 3600.

Q. And taking this one step farther still, how many of those brown Aris men's
leather light gloves were in an extra-large size, shipped to Bloomingdale's?

A. Approximately 300.

Q. And from, you know, out of those approximately 300 brown extra large pair of
gloves shipped to Bloomingdale's for sale in 1990, approximately how many of
those pairs were actually sold?

A. Between 200 and 240 pairs.

Q. Okay.

Can you tell me what was the largest size Aris men's leather light glove that
was sold in 1990?

A. Extra large.

Q. Didn't come bigger than that, did it?

A. No, it did not.

Q. Okay.

Now, in talking about this exclusive arrangement, Bloomingdale's --

MR. KELLY: I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) In speaking of this exclusive arrangement Bloomingdale's had
with Aris, you mentioned it were only sold in the Bloomingdale's Department
Stores?

A. That's correct.

Q. In 1990, do you recall where those Bloomingdale's Department Stores were
generally located?

A. There were 13 of them, the majority being in the metro New York/New Jersey
area.

There was one store that opened up in Chicago that year.

Q. And could you tell me in 1990 where the closest Bloomingdale's was relative
to Los Angeles?

A. Chicago.

Q. None in between?

A. No.

Q. Okay.

And there wasn't any in Los Angeles?

A. Not at that point in time.

Q. Do you know if Bloomingdale's ever opened in Los Angeles?

A. I think they opened a store last week here.

Q. Okay.

Now, before, when we were discussing your familiarity with the Aris men's
leather light glove, we talked about the colors and sizes that it comes in,
correct?

A. Yes.

Q. And you also indicated a familiarity with the specific design and
manufacture of that glove, also?

A. Yes.

Q. Okay.

Now, could you, in more detail if possible, describe in 1990 the style and
manufacture of the men's Aris leather light glove?

A. Well, the two most distinctive features were the Brossar stitches, which
were extremely tight and close, approximately 22 to 24 stitches to the inch.

And the second most visible characteristic was the blind hem, which was very
much in vogue, and still is in vogue in ladies' gloves, but very rare in men's
gloves.

And once you go past those two, you get a little more traditional. You have
three needle points on the back, and you have a palm vent on the palm side to
help pull it on.

And then another very unique characteristic was the lining being extra
lightweight. It was a -- one single thread of cashmere yarn knitted on a
ten-gauge machine, which made the entire glove very thin and very slender
looking.

Q. What about the gauge of the leather itself?

A. And the very lightweight leather, being 5.5 millimeters.

Q. And most of these characteristics, are these things that you would be able
to identify by looking at the glove?

A. Yes.

Q. And could you tell me whether these particular gloves were designed to fit
in a specific way?

A. They were designed to fit skin tight, be very slender.

Q. And the gloves that were being sold in 1990 in the Bloomingdale's Department
Stores, when would they have been manufactured?

A. In the late fall: November, December of 1989; in the spring, once, of 1990.

Q. And the characteristics that you just attributed to these gloves, that held
true for all those gloves manufactured in 1990, correct?

A. That's correct.

Q. Did there come a time that any of these characteristics that you just
mentioned previously did change?

A. They changed the stitching from a Brossar stitching to a -- what is called a
half pique stitch in 1992.

Q. Is the half PK stitch something you're able to visibly identify by looking
at the glove?

A. It's very distinctive.

Q. Would it be fair to say you would be able to, in effect, date the
manufacture of the glove, at least by examining that stitch?

A. Yes, I would.

Q. Okay.

Now, with regard to the extra large gloves, is there a standard approximate
length of these gloves when they're manufactured?

MR. BAKER: Your Honor, I think that's a contradiction of terms. In those two
questions there are two words, "standard" and "approximate." It's vague and
ambiguous.

THE COURT: You understand the question?

MR. KELLY: I'll rephrase it, Judge.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Is there -- with the extra large Aris gloves, is there a
standard length of that glove for the extra large?

A. In the manufacturing process, there is a pattern; and if it came out
perfectly, it would be around ten and three-eighths inches long.

Q. Is there usually some variation on that length?

A. Every piece of leather will have a little bit different flexibility and
elasticity to it, so there can be a variance. But the standard would be ten and
three-eighths in a finished product.

MR. KELLY: Your Honor, if I might hand these to the witness.

THE COURT: Okay.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) I'm going to ask you to look at these two items. And one of
them is 129 and one of them is 204.

(Witness reviews exhibits.)

THE WITNESS: Do you want me to look at them through the bag, or do you want me
to take them out of the bag?

MR. KELLY: Is it all right if opens the bag and takes them out, Your Honor?

THE COURT: It's all right with me.

(Witness opens bag and removes glove.)

THE REPORTER: Excuse me. Is there a number?

May I have that number?

MR. BAKER: May we ask the witness not to pull the gloves.

THE COURT: Don't pull the gloves.

THE WITNESS: The number on the right hand is 164-A.

MR. PETROCELLI: Those are the wrong numbers. Those are the exhibit numbers from
the criminal trial. The two --

MR. KELLY: The exhibit number in this matter is on the plastic itself.

THE WITNESS: The number on this, number 9 --

MR. KELLY: It should be in the upper right-hand corner, 129.

THE WITNESS: 204 or 1464-E.

MR. PETROCELLI: And this?

THE WITNESS: And this one is 129. And the right hand was 204 and the left hand
was 129.

(Witness removed both gloves from their packaging.)

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Have you seen those gloves prior to today, Mr. Rubin?

A. Yes, I have.

Q. And you saw them over a year ago, actually, in Mr. Simpson's criminal trial;
is that correct?

A. Yes, I did.

Q. Did you have an opportunity at that time to measure the length of those
gloves?

A. Yes, I did.

Q. You measured those gloves at this time.

What was the length of the gloves when you measured them, if you recall?

A. Nine and three-eighths inches long.

Q. Approximately an inch less than the standard length?

A. Approximately.

Q. What percent is smaller than the standard extra large would that have made
them at this time?

A. Between 10 and 11 percent.

Q. And what would you attribute, or could you attribute that differential of
the 10 or 11 percent to anything?

MR. BAKER: I'm going to object. Foundation; calls for speculation.

THE COURT: Overruled.

THE WITNESS: Combination of normal wear and tear, time, and shrinkage.

Q. MR. KELLY: Are you familiar with the sales receipts of Bloomingdale's?

A. I've seen them.

Q. Okay.

You familiar with the different descriptions on them in viewing them?

A. Yes, I am.

Q. Okay.

MR. KELLY: If we can see 390, Steve.

(Mr. Foster displays Exhibit 390.)

Q. MR. KELLY: Are you able to see that where you're sitting, Mr. Rubin, or
would you like to step over?

A. I can see it. I'm familiar with it.

Q. Okay.

Can you describe --

MR. BAKER: Your Honor, I'm going to object. This is beyond the scope of this
criminal testimony, trial testimony.

THE COURT: Overruled.

You want him to look at that? Go ahead.

MR. KELLY: Yes.

MR. BAKER: Your Honor, may we be heard on this?

We had a stipulation relative to these witnesses, that they wouldn't go beyond
their criminal trial testimony. And that's what they're attempting to do here.
Plus, this is cumulative, Your Honor.

MR. KELLY: There was some testimony from the criminal trial --

THE COURT: Okay. Approach the bench.

(The following proceedings were held at the bench, with the reporter:)

THE COURT: What stipulation haven't I seen?

MR. BAKER: We have a stipulation, and I think the stipulation was that we
wouldn't take everybody's depositions, if they were not going to go into the
criminal-trial testimony -- he's an expert; he's part of the stipulation. And
unless I missed testimony -- I've been through three days of his testimony in
the criminal trial -- this was not in there.

THE COURT: Okay. Cite me chapter and verse.

MR. KELLY: Where he cites it?

THE COURT: Yeah.

MR. KELLY: Okay. Your Honor, this is foundational.

THE COURT: I don't care. When there's an objection, I have to rule.

MR. KELLY: Okay. Let me see if we can pull that out.

(Pause in the proceedings.)

MR. KELLY: Pull it up on our computer quickly.

Judge, in the prior testimony there, he repeatedly refers to the SKU and style
number used by Bloomingdale's of 70263.

This was the only thing I was going to ask him to testify to for foundational
purposes, is to the style number of the glove that's listed on that receipt,
also.

It's mentioned approximately 15 times in the trial transcript in his testimony
in terms of the style number of this glove sold by Bloomingdale's.

THE COURT: Okay.

(The following proceedings were held in open court, in the presence of the
jury.)

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Mr. Rubin, were you aware of a SKU number that was assigned
to this style of glove by Bloomingdale's for sales purposes.

A. I was aware of our SKU number.

Q. Was that a style number?

A. Yes.

Q. What style number was that?

A. 70263.

Q. And what was 70263 collective of?

A. Well, the first two digits reflected the fact that it was a men's leather
glove, and the next few digits are sequential as part of the design process.
Each new design was the next number.

Q. Okay.

By the way, do you know whether --

Do you know, in December of 1990, what the list --

THE COURT: Mr. Kelly.

MR. KELLY: I'm sorry, Your Honor. I'm sorry. An old habit.

THE COURT: I don't want Mr. Kelly to feel disadvantaged by the fact I keep
telling him to move over. I know it's kind of annoying, sometimes, to have
somebody standing behind you talking. And I'm trying to make it comfortable for
the jurors, so that none of the attorneys stand behind the jurors when they're
talking.

So I'm asking all of the attorneys to stay well to the right of that last
juror.

MR. KELLY: I'm not the only one that doesn't listen.

(Laughter.)

THE COURT: Thank you.

MR. KELLY: Okay.

Could I have my last question read back.

(The reporter read the record as follows:)

"Q. Okay. By the way, do you know whether -- Do you know, in December of 1990,
what the list --"

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) The list price of these men's Aris leather light gloves was?

A. Fifty-five dollars.

Q. Do you know whether there was a sale going on at Bloomingdale's?

A. On occasion, they had sales.

And yes, at this time, they did have a sale.

Q. Do you know what the sale price of that item was?

A. It was -- this particular sale was a 30-percent discount.

MR. BAKER: No foundation, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Lay a foundation.

MR. BAKER: To this witness' knowledge.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Do you have any personal knowledge as to whether or not the
list price in Bloomingdale's for the Aris men's leather lights had been changed
at all in December of 1990?

A. On occasion, it was changed.

Q. Well, I have to ask you, specifically, do you have your own knowledge
whether that list price had been changed in December of 1990?

A. Yes, it was.

Q. And do you know what it was changed to?

A. Certain times it was 25 percent off; at certain times it was 30 percent off.

Q. In December of 1990, do you know what the percentage was?

A. Thirty percent off.

Q. Do you know what that would reduce that fifty-five-dollar list price to?

A. Thirty-eight fifty.

Q. Would it be fair to say that two pair of those gloves at $55 each, reduced
by 30 percent, would be a total of --

A. Seventy-seven dollars.

Q. Now, I want to go back to Exhibits 129 and 204 a little bit.

Do you have those in front of you still?

A. Yes.

Q. When you indicated that you recognize those from the criminal trial of Mr.
Simpson's --

A. I recognized them long before the criminal trial, but I do recognize these
from the criminal trial, yes.

Q. Those particular gloves I'm speaking of.

A. This pair.

Q. Okay.

And did you have occasion, when you were testifying in the criminal trial, to
observe Mr. Simpson's conduct, a demonstration where he was asked to put the
gloves on?

MR. BAKER: I'm going to object. That misstates the evidence.

The prosecution and the judge ordered Mr. Simpson to put those gloves on.

THE COURT: It's a neutral question. Overruled.

MR. KELLY: Can you read the question back to him, please.

(The reporter read the record as follows:)

"Q. And did you have occasion, when you were testifying in the criminal trial,
to observe Mr. Simpson conduct a demonstration where he was asked to put the
gloves on?"

THE WITNESS: Yes, I do.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Were you able to --

You actually saw him conduct that demonstration himself, where he did put the
gloves on; is that correct?

A. That's correct.

Q. And did you form an opinion, yourself, as to whether or not the gloves fit?

A. Yes, I did.

Q. And what was your opinion on that?

A. They fit with a poor quality of fit, but they fit.

Q. And when you say they fit with a poor quality, what do you base that opinion
on, the poor-quality aspect?

A. They were --

They were one inch short in the wrist.

Q. And do you have an opinion as to what would have caused them to be that one
inch shorter in the wrist?

MR. BAKER: Objection. Foundation; calls for speculation.

THE COURT: Overruled.

THE WITNESS: In this particular case, there were two issues: One was the fact
that he was required to.

MR. BAKER: I move to strike as nonresponsive, Your Honor, as to his opinion,
not the issues in the case.

THE COURT: You may state your response to the question

MR. KELLY: Can you read the question back to him, please.

(The reporter read the record as follows:)

"Q. And do you have an opinion as to what would have caused them to be that one
inch shorter in the wrist?"

Q. Were there any factors you take into consideration?

A. The first factor was that the gloves were actually one inch shorter than
standard --

Q. Okay?

A. -- in a north/south position.

The second factor was that there was a requirement to utilize latex linings
over the hands prior to putting the gloves on.

Q. You mean in simple terms, Mr. Simpson had latex gloves on; is that correct?

A. Correct.

Q. Okay.

A. And the third issue was that the actual overall condition of the gloves,
being crumbled up quite a bit and not straightened out, I would call it
refurbished. It's really just they hadn't been used in a long, long time.

Q. So when you put gloves on, you --

A. Work them out a little bit.

Q. To the best of your knowledge, that had not been done with these particular
gloves?

MR. BAKER: Objection. Leading.

THE COURT: Sustained as leading.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) And those were the three factors that you base your opinion
on; is that correct?

A. That's correct.

Q. Okay.

And I believe earlier, you mentioned -- you stated your reasons for the
apparent difference of one inch between the normal length of the extra large
glove and these gloves when you measured them.

A. Yes, I did.

Q. Once again, what was that attributed to?

A. Normal wear and tear, time, and shrinkage.

Q. Okay.

Now, looking at 129 again --

Do you have that it in front of you, there Mr. Rubin?

A. This is the left-hand glove?

Q. Yes.

A. Yes.

Q. Okay. I'm going to ask you to examine that glove closely at this time.

(Witness complies, reviews exhibit.)

THE WITNESS: Okay.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Okay.

You had a chance to look at it?

A. Could I put my hand in it?

Q. Sure. Yes.

(Witness puts hand in exhibit.)

MR. BAKER: Can you put your hands in it where I can see?

(Witness complies.)

(Witness puts on Exhibit 129.)

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) While you are on this, Mr. Rubin, if you can, take a look at
the characteristics we used earlier, the stitching and the three needle points
on the back of the hand, et cetera.

A. Yes.

Q. Can you describe all the characteristics of that particular glove that you
observed?

A. One would be the unique stitching, sewing the glove completely together.

Two is this blind hem at the end of the wrist.

Q. I'm sorry. Going back, is there a name you had for that stitching?

A. Brossar stitching.

Q. Okay.

I'm sorry?

A. The blind hem at the end of the wrist. Then the other more common
characteristics are the three, needle points, where there are actually three
needles with thread that create these design elements.

And then there's a palm vent in the wrist.

And then there's this thin cashmere lining, ten-gauge liner.

Q. Okay.

Are you able to tell me, after looking at all those specific characteristics,
what type of glove it is?

A. It's still 70263, brown, extra large.

Q. There's another men's Aris leather light?

A. Yes.

Q. Is there a label?

A. Yes, there is.

Q. It says the same thing?

A. It says the name and the size and the content and manufacturer; it does not
say the style number.

Q. Okay.

Now, have you had an opportunity to look at the inside of the lining of the
glove, underneath?

A. I did during the criminal trial.

Q. If you recall still, are there any identifying characteristics or anything
that appear on the lining of the -- the inside of that glove?

A. There's a size marking, there's a cutter number, and a sequence control
number.

Q. Okay.

First of all, we know the size number just indicates the size of the glove,
correct?

A. Correct.

Q. Okay.

What is the cutter number?

A. I'm going to have to pull the lining out for a second to --

Q. Okay.

A. -- see that.

Q. Sure.

A. The cutter number is 359.

The sequence or control number is 9.

And then the XL is the size.

Q. Now, what exactly is a cutter number?

A. The cutter number is the actual individual who was given the leather to cut
X amount of pair of this style during the manufacturing process. It was a way
of controlling the leather.

Q. And what is the sequence number, by definition?

A. The sequence number was to keep all the parts together so that the colors
matched, because they did vary across the skins. They would actually -- the
cutter would say, this is the first pair; I made the second, the third, the
fourth. And he would keep all the parts together. That way -- this was nine
pair of that particular lot of leather that was given to the cutter.

Q. Okay.

There was an extra large; the cutter number sequence number 9?

A. Yes.

Q. I'm going ask you to look at 204, which would be the right-hand glove there.

Also, if you can go through the same process, first of all, of trying it on.

MR. BAKER: I don't understand why he's trying it on, Your Honor. I don't
understand why this is relevant to any issue in this case.

THE COURT: Overruled.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Now, while you're trying that glove on and looking at it, I'm
going to ask you to examine it closely once again for all the specific
characteristics we discussed before.

A. It has the same characteristics as the other half pair.

Q. That's the Brossar stitch and the three-point needles -- the three needle
points; I'm sorry, and the lined hem and the other things?

A. Yes.

Q. Okay.

And are you able to tell me with certainty who the manufacturer of that glove
is, also?

First of all, can you tell me, without looking at the label, Mr. Rubin, who
made that glove?

A. This is an Aris 70263 brown glove.

Q. Okay.

Now, I see you're already doing it. I was going to ask you to look inside the
lining of that glove, also, for those identifying characteristics.

(Witness complies, turns glove inside out.)

A. Yes. The cutter number was 359; the sequence number is 9; and the size is
XL, makes it a pair.

Q. As a result of looking at those identifying characteristics of the two
gloves, are you able to tell me what, if any, relationship there is between the
two of those gloves?

A. They are a pair.

Q. No doubt about that?

A. No doubt about it.

Q. Okay.

MR. KELLY: Now, if I could just have one minute. (Pause in proceedings.)

MR. KELLY: Steve, if we could go to --

Well, before we go to that --

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Mr. Rubin, also in the criminal trial that we discussed
earlier, you had the opportunity to view a number of photographs, also, did you
not?

A. Yes, I did.

Q. Okay. Those were basically Mr. Simpson wearing gloves at different times?

A. That's correct.

Q. And in addition to viewing them in court, did you make some sort of
independent investigation and examination of those photos, also?

A. Yes.

Q. Okay.

MR. KELLY: Now, first of all, can we put up Exhibit 642, Steve

(Mr. Foster complies.)

Q. Now, first of all, do you recognize the individual in the photograph?

A. Yes, I do.

Q. And that's Mr. Simpson?

A. I believe so.

Q. Okay.

The man you saw with the gloves in the criminal trial; is that correct?

A. Correct.

Q. Okay.

Now, looking at 642 --

MR. KELLY: First of all, I didn't see -- Steve, can you put up 643?

(Mr. Foster complies.)

MR. KELLY: Steve, it's just the close-up. I want the close-up, please.

(Mr. Foster complies.)

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) This is basically the close-up of the picture you were
looking at a second ago, Mr. Rubin.

Could you examine the glove closely that's blurred on the screen right now?

A. I can do my best.

Q. Okay.

MR. KELLY: Steve, can you take it back a little further, even?

(Mr. Foster complies.)

MR. KELLY: That's good.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) I'm going ask you if you can look at this and identify the
specific characteristics of the manufacturer of that particular glove.

A. I can see three characteristics.

Q. What characteristics?

A. The very fine rib stitches, which is indicative of the Brossar stitch; the
vent in the palm; and then on the lower left, if you see where the shadow is,
it would appear to be that the hem didn't have any stitching on it; it was a
blind hem.

Q. Okay.

And based on those characteristics, are you able to conclude the manufacture
and make model and style of that particular glove?

A. It would appear to me to be a Brossar 70263 style.

Q. The Aris men's leather light?

A. Yes.

Q. And based on the type of stitching, would you be able to opine as to when
that was manufactured, approximately?

A. The bulk of the gloves that we made Brossar stitches on were made in the
late '80s. So '88, '89, '90.

Q. That stitch wasn't used after '92, I believe you indicated.

A. That's correct.

MR. KELLY: Now, 655 Steve.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) By the way, that picture that was just taken down. What color
was that glove?

A. It appeared to be black.

Q. Okay.

MR. KELLY: And just before you put that up, Steve, I want to ask him one other
question.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) The previous glove -- I'm sorry, Mr. Rubin. I'm going put
this photo back up one more time.

I'm going to ask you, excluding color, would you be able to tell me how it
compares to Exhibit 129 and 204, the gloves in front of you now?

A. It's the same.

Q. Identical manufacture, make, model, style, and everything?

A. Yes.

THE COURT REPORTER: Excuse me. Is a that 643?

MR. PETROCELLI: Yes.

(Exhibit 643 displayed.)

MR. KELLY: Now 645. I'm sorry.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Now, I'd ask you to look at that glove in that photo, first
of all, Mr. Rubin.

A. Yes.

Q. Are you able to observe some of the characteristics we've spoken of before?

A. I can see two characteristics.

Q. Which ones are those?

A. The Brossar stitching and the three needle points that is in the middle of
the glove to the left.

Q. Okay.

MR. KELLY: And can you throw up 656, Steve?

Would it help for the lights to be turned off?

JUROR: Sure.

MR. KELLY: Your Honor, could we turn the lights off for this viewing?

THE COURT: You may.

(Exhibit 656 displayed.)

MR. KELLY: Little further back.

Q. Looking at that photo, are you able to observe any of the specific
characteristics we're speaking of?

A. Just the Brossar stitching at the top of the gloves, where it goes around --
around the top.

Q. Okay.

And based on those, I believe you referred to them as "unique details;" is that
right?

A. Yes.

Q. Are you able to reach a conclusion as to the manufacture, make, and model
and style of that glove?

A. Both -- that is the most unique detail to style 70263, so I would say this
is a style 70263.

Q. I'm sorry. What is the most unique?

A. The Brossar stitching.

Q. Okay.

And excluding color, can you tell me how that glove compares to the two gloves
there in front of you, the 129 and 204, the right-hand and left-hand gloves?

A. They're the same.

Q. Excluding color; is that correct?

A. That's correct.

MR. KELLY: Now, 660, please.

(Exhibit 660 is displayed.)

MR. KELLY: Focus in a little on that glove, Steve.

(Mr. Foster complies.)

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) I'll ask you to take a look at that glove.

Tell me when you can observe any of the specific characteristics we've been
speaking of.

A. In this glove, I can see the Brossar stitching around the fingers, the three
needle points down -- down the back of the glove. And then actually, it appears
that the Aris label is actually sticking out, to the left bottom.

Q. You can actually see the tag, can you not?

A. But that is not an unusual characteristic; that just happens to be there
because every Aris glove had a label.

Q. This is sort of a throw-in?

A. Yes.

MR. KELLY: I'll withdraw the last comment.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Can you actually identify that as an Aris label?

A. I cannot read anything on the label.

It appears to be in the same location that we put our labels in, compared to
other manufacturers, and it appears to be the color that we use, compared to
other manufacturers. So I believe it's an Aris glove.

Q. Okay.

And even excluding the tag altogether, would you be able to identify that from
the other specific characteristics you spoke of before?

A. Yes.

And in this one, there also -- you can see the brown tint to the cashmere
lining.

Q. And where is that, by the way,

THE WITNESS: Can you raise the glove up a little bit on the screen?

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Can you point that out, please.

A. It would be in this area right here.

(Indicating.)

Q. And the stitch you spoke of, what year did they stop using that particular
stitch?

A. In 1992.

Q. Okay.

So if you had to date that glove in a particular time, would you?

A. Bulk of it is late '80s.

Q. But before '92?

A. Yes.

Q. And in looking in that glove, would you tell me how that compares to the two
gloves you have there in front of you, also?

A. Same style.

Q. Would it be fair to say it's identical, except for color?

A. Yes.

Q. Okay.

MR. KELLY: Now, if we could go to -- you can take that off, Steve.

(Mr. Foster removes exhibit from TV screen.)

(Counsel displays blow-up photo.)

MR. KELLY: Is that better, to use a picture?

Actually, if I could hand this to the witness first, Judge.

THE COURT: You may.

MR. KELLY: Yeah. Take a look at that.

Can you put that 641 up.

THE WITNESS: Okay.

(Witness reviews Exhibit 641.)

MR. KELLY: Why don't you lay it flat here for reference.

If you could, zoom in a little on the gloves, Steve.

(Mr. Foster adjusts TV screen.)

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Now, looking at that glove, both on the screen and the
enlargement before you, are you able to observe any of the specific
characteristics we've been discussing before?

A. I can see the Brossar stitching on the photo.

I really can't see it on this screen, but I can see the blind hem and the
points in both places.

MR. KELLY: Get that in, Steve.

(Mr. Foster adjusts TV screen.)

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Is that better, Mr. Rubin?

A. It is.

Q. Looking at the photograph, enlargements from the view, are you able to --

A. I'd like to stick to the photo, please.

Q. Okay.

What specific characteristics are you able to observe?

A. The Brossar stitching on the top of the forefinger at the top, and the three
point, and the blind hem.

And also the characteristics of the light leather shows -- up here, where you
can see the wrinkles, you can see that it's very thin.

Q. And what color of manufacture is that glove, by the way?

A. It's a brown shade.

Q. That's a brown.

MR. KELLY: Steve, could I briefly see 645?

(Mr. Foster displays Exhibit 645.)

MR. KELLY: If you could, zoom in on the gloves a little bit.

(Mr. Foster adjusts TV screen.)

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Are you able to see the -- any of the specific
characteristics from that photo?

A. On the screen, it's a little blurry, Mr. Kelly.

I've seen the photo before.

Q. Okay.

A. I've identified the photo before on the screen. I'm not -- I can't say that
I can identify much on the screen.

MR. KELLY: Can we try 646 to see if it's any better?

(Mr. Foster displays Exhibit 646.)

THE WITNESS: This is better.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Okay.

Are you able, from that photograph there, to identify the -- any of the
specific characteristics we've been speaking of?

A. I can see the fine ridge of the Brossar stitching on a couple -- on a couple
of the fingers, and I can see the point.

Q. Can you make any observation as to the hem we've been speaking of?

A. It's a little -- it's a little dark to -- I'll reserve judgment on that.

Q. Okay.

Looking on the photo you have in front of you, though --

A. The hem is clear.

Q. And what observation do you make about the photo in front of you?

A. It's a blind hem.

(Referring to photo Exhibit 646.)

MR. KELLY: I'm going ask you to put up pictures 645 and 646 again, see if
they're clearer there.

(Witness reviews actual photo.)

THE WITNESS: Yes, I can see on both photos. I can see the Brossar stitching,
the points and the blind hem from these photos.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Okay.

If you could, just --

MR. KELLY: Actually, let me take them back from you.

Steve, if I could see 654, please, if we go to frame 4583.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) I ask you to look specifically at the left-hand glove in that
picture, Mr. Rubin.

A. Yes.

Q. Can you make any observation as to specific characteristics we discussed
before with regard to that glove?

A. Yes. The palm vent is visible on the left hand.

Q. And what exactly do you mean by "the palm vent?" You keep mentioning that.

A. In the palm of the hand, there's usually a vent that would help a person
slip the gloves on and off a little bit more easily and gives you something to
pull on.

Q. With 129 or 204, could you hold one of those up for the jury and
demonstrate, if you could, what the palm vent is?

A. This is the vent.

(Indicating to glove.)

MR. KELLY: I've shown you -- if we could go to, Steve, 5548, 49.

If you could look at the --

Take it back down, Steve.

Stop right there.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Are you able to make an observation -- I don't know if it's
real clear -- as to the right-hand glove?

A. It's totally blurred to me.

Q. Okay.

(Reviewing videotape.)

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Would you agree with me that all of these photographs were
the same time, place -- same place?

A. It appears that way.

Q. Okay.

You've seen them all before, have you not?

MR. BAKER: Wait. I object. He is asking this witness to say that all these
photographs were at the same time and the same place.

MR. KELLY: I'll withdraw the question, Your Honor.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Okay.

With regard to 641, once again, which would be the enlargement down here --

A. Yes.

Q. Okay.

MR. KELLY: And if you could flip up, Steve, on the video once again, frame
4583.

Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Could you state for me all the specific characteristics of
the Aris men's leather light that you're able to observe between those two
photographs?

A. There are four of them.

Q. What are those?

A. The Brossar stitching on the fingers closing the glove down the side, the
three needle points, and the blind hem and the palm vent.

Q. And based on those specific characteristics you just mentioned, are you able
to tell me with certainty what the manufacture, make, model and style of those
gloves are?

A. 70263, brown.

Q. That's the Aris men's leather light?

A. Yes, it is.

Q. Okay.

Can you tell me how that 70263 Aris men's leather light brown, those gloves
depicted in those photographs, compare to the two gloves you have in front of
you there?

A. Same style, color.

Q. Is it fair to say they're identical?

A. Yes.

MR. KELLY: If I could have one moment.

(Pause in proceedings.)

MR. KELLY: I have no further questions.

THE COURT: Cross-examine.

CROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. BAKER:

Q. Mr. Rubin, how much time have you spent with the plaintiff attorneys since
Mr. Simpson was acquitted in October of 1995?

A. Less than three hours.

Q. How much time on the telephone and in person?

A. On the telephone, less than 15 minutes.

Q. If -- and the other three hours you've been together with them?

A. Yes.

Q. And how much time did you spend with the district attorney, when you were
testifying for them in the criminal trial?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Irrelevant.

THE COURT: Overruled.

THE WITNESS: I lost count. However, I was out there four different times. If I
had to guess, 12 to 15 hours.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) And you viewed the videotape many times with Mr. Simpson
trying the gloves on in the courtroom, did you not?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Irrelevant.

THE COURT: Overruled.

THE WITNESS: You've seen it.

MR. BAKER: And let's play that now, Phil.

MR. PETROCELLI: Our position is on the record, Your Honor.

THE COURT: It is.

MR. BAKER: We're going to get there. I'm sorry. You want to --

MR. KELLY: I'd object to the audio.

THE COURT: Excuse me?

MR. KELLY: I object to the audio being played.

THE COURT: All right. Keep the audio off.

(Video of Mr. Simpson putting on gloves is played while audio is turned off.)

THE COURT: What are you doing?

MR. BAKER: I think he put the other one --

(Video continues playing.)

MR. BAKER: Okay.

(Video stops playing.)

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) That's what you saw in the courtroom?

A. That's correct.

Q. Those gloves fit across the palm, did they?

A. I didn't say that.

Q. I just asked you that?

A. They actually did fit across the palm.

Q. They did?

A. Yes.

Q. What we saw is, in your opinion, those gloves both fit Mr. Simpson, right?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Argumentative.

THE COURT: Overruled.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) In your opinion, sir, those gloves both fit Mr. Simpson; yes
or no?

A. Yes.

Q. And in your opinion, is that -- the latex makes it easier or harder to put
gloves on?

A. Harder.

Q. You should have never put the latex on in that courtroom that Mr. Simpson
put on, and you don't know whether or not talcum is over that latex glove;
isn't that true?

A. That's not true.

Q. Let me ask you a couple of questions.

Relative to your viewing of, first of all, the -- did you look at the
measurements of the gloves when they were first collected?

A. No, I did not.

MR. KELLY: Objection. Well --

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) You don't know whether the D.A. measured the glove, that is,
the LAPD measured the glove and it was exactly the same measurements as when
you measured the glove?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Irrelevant, beyond the scope.

THE COURT: Overruled.

THE WITNESS: I have no knowledge of that.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Now, let's talk about you say the gloves were unused, that
is, they hadn't been used in a while. Do you know how many District Attorneys
put those gloves on before the glove demonstration that you just saw?

A. I have no knowledge of that.

Q. So you don't know, as you sit here today whether or not those gloves had
been used multiple, multiple times before Mr. Simpson was required to put those
on in the criminal trial; isn't that true, sir?

A. I -- that's not true. I had an indication that they had not been used, or
tried on due to the appearance of the gloves when I was first shown them, upon
arrival in Los Angeles, my first visit.

Q. Well, when Mr. Simpson put the gloves on, it wasn't your first visit, was
it, Mr. Rubin?

A. Yes, it was.

Q. Well, is it your testimony that you were told that no one, since those
gloves had been collected, had put those gloves on before they were tried on
Mr. Simpson?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Asking for hearsay, Your Honor.

MR. BAKER: Goes to the state of his mind, Your Honor.

MR. KELLY: Could I ask --

THE COURT: I'll sustain the objection.

MR. KELLY: Could I have that picture taken off the screen while we're at this
part of the examination?

THE COURT: Okay. Go ahead.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Did anyone indicate to you that the gloves had not been used
-- strike that.

In forming the opinions that you gave here today in court, was it your opinion,
based upon what you had learned from the D.A.'s office in your multiple visits
and your conversations with the District Attorney, that the gloves had not been
put on by anybody from the time they were collected until the time Mr. Simpson
put them on in the courtroom?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Calls for hearsay, Your Honor.

THE COURT: You may answer, yes or no.

THE WITNESS: It was not discussed with me.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) So, you didn't have any knowledge based upon the D.A.'s
conversations with you, the amount of times those gloves had, in fact, been
dried on before Mr. Simpson put them on, correct?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Calls for hearsay, asked and answered.

THE COURT: Sustained.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Well, assuming those gloves had been tried on multiple times,
including the day of the demonstration, you would agree that that wouldn't have
inhibited their ability to be put on by Mr. Simpson, true?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Argumentative.

THE COURT: Assumes a fact not in evidence.

MR. KELLY: Assumes --

MR. BAKER: It's a hypothetical, obviously. This is an expert witness.

THE COURT: Sustained.

MR. BAKER: On which ground?

THE COURT: Not a basis for the hypothetical.

MR. BAKER: Your Honor, I will tie it up.

THE COURT: I'll sustain the objection at this point.

MR. BAKER: Let me make an offer of proof. We will tie it up but those gloves
had been tried on multiple times. He's from another state.

MR. PETROCELLI: We object to his testifying.

THE COURT: Sustained.

MR. KELLY: Ask that last comment be stricken also.

THE COURT: It's stricken.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Now, let's talk a little bit about Brossar stitching, may we,
Mr. Rubin?

MR. KELLY: Objection to the form of the question.

THE COURT: Overruled.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Now, Mr. Rubin, Brossar stitching has been used for over 100
years, has it not?

A. That's correct.

Q. And Brossar stitching is a particular type of stitching made from a Singer
sewing machine, right?

A. In the facility that I'm familiar with, it was.

Q. And it's been made, not only in the facility that's run by Aris, but it's
been made by other glove manufacturers for years, hasn't it?

A. I'm not aware of that.

Q. Did you check to find out?

A. Yes, I did.

Q. You checked with two glove manufacturers. How many glove manufacturers are
there, Mr. Rubin, in the United States?

A. None.

Q. Well, how many glove -- how many people do we import our gloves for that
distribute out gloves under their brand names? Let me ask you that question.

A. There may be six or ten.

Q. It's over a dozen people, manufacturers that have labels on gloves in this
country, are there not?

A. No, there may be licensed products and importers, but as far as
manufacturers, there may be only 6 or 10.

Q. All right. Then, let's start back in. The Brossar stitching was not unique
to Aris. You would agree with that?

A. For my 14 years in the business, I was not aware of Brossar stitching being
used by anybody in present men's product. I did see it in some lady's product,
but I never saw it in a men's glove.

Q. Before you became involved in this case, you didn't do an analysis to
determine whether or not there was Brossar stitching in any glove other than
the Aris leather light, true?

A. Prior to this case?

Q. Yes.

A. I did nothing.

Q. Now, in manufacturers in the world, how many manufacturers in the world are
there that make penny leather gloves, to your knowledge?

A. I don't have a good answer on that. There may be hundreds and hundreds of
them. They may be small, but I'm only familiar with a handful of large
manufacturers.

Q. And did you say that the answer would be true relative to Brossar stitching
that you're not sure how many of those hundreds and hundreds of -- or hundreds,
at least, of manufacturers would use Brossar stitching?

A. I'm not aware of them.

Q. In fact, smaller companies would generally use Brossar stitching over large
companies; isn't that true?

A. I don't have any knowledge to verify that.

Q. Well, the machines that you're company used were manufactured in the 40's
were they not?

A. Or before.

Q. And they were old machines that could be purchased relatively cheaply
because of the fact that they were -- had seen a lot of years of service; isn't
that correct?

A. The only reason I would have to disagree with what you're saying is that the
Brossar stitching system was so slow and so labor intensive, it wasn't really
very profitable. So that on balance, one would really not want to be using this
equipment. They would probably want to using other equipment.

Q. Sir, maybe my question is a poor one. Certainly in modern countries we want
to, regardless of the look of the Brossar stitching, we probably want to do it
quicker and make it more efficient; isn't that correct?

A. True.

Q. In -- a lot of gloves are manufactured in third world countries; isn't that
correct?

A. Correct.

Q. And in third world countries, the issue of efficiency isn't as great as the
issue of trying to get a machine that will, in fact, make a stitch; isn't that
true?

A. It's a combination of both.

Q. All right. Now, the three points on a glove, virtually every machine's dress
glove has that; isn't that true?

A. They have the three points. They're not all necessarily in the same
configuration.

Q. But I mean there's one down the middle and then they usually have points to
either side, don't they, sir?

A. That's -- I'm talking about a three-needle point versus just a point.

Q. All right. And the palm, virtually every dress glove that are made for men,
and indeed women, have a palm fit, don't they?

A. Mainly in men's.

Q. Okay.

Now, as I understand it, these gloves are made to fit skin tight and that's the
style that they are made to; that's what their uniqueness is, correct, these
70263 series?

A. Very dressy, very skin tight.

Q. And so they're not what one would consider a glove that you would wear, for
example, certainly at a ski lodge, right?

A. I wouldn't recommend it.

Q. If it gets 20 degrees below zero, it's not the type of glove you want on;
true?

A. That's correct.

Q. You want a bulky glove that has more leather an certainly a thicker lining?
I'll get it out yet.

A. That's correct.

Q. Just for the warmth of the glove?

A. That's correct.

Q. Especially, if you're going to use a glove, you know, and you're going to be
out in the -- in the weather for two to three hours, that's not the type of
glove you would choose. You agree about that -- with that?

A. Not in severe weather.

Q. Okay.

Now, the lining of that glove is as you suggested, I think, particularly thin,
correct?

A. That's correct.

Q. And the lining of that glove would be the first thing to wear out in the
glove being normally used, correct?

A. In this model, yes.

Q. And in the linings, when you first look at those gloves, showed very little
wear at all; isn't that true?

A. That's true.

Q. And the palm of the glove should wear out after the lining in normal usage,
you would agree with that?

A. Yes, I would.

Q. And the palm in these gloves are in, I believe, which one is it, the right
or the left?

A. I don't know what the question is, so --

Q. That's a good point: There's wear indications in the right glove, correct,
all the way through the leather?

A. That's correct.

Q. In the palm. True?

A. True.

Q. With no corresponding wear in the lining underneath it, correct?

A. True.

Q. And indeed, Mr. Rubin, the gloves -- and I watched you put them on -- you've
even measured, pursuant to court order in the criminal trial, Mr. Simpson's
hands, haven't you?

A. Yes, I did.

Q. And Mr. Simpson's hands are considerably larger than yours, you would agree?

A. They're larger than mine.

Q. The gloves are designed to be put on and then as you did, pushed down
between the fingers and to get a skin tight fit, true?

A. Yes.

Q. And those aren't gloves that come off very easily, are they, once you get
them skin tight and on a hand such as Mr. Simpson's -- and let's put up number
641, if we may.

MR. P. BAKER: I have no idea what that is.

MR. KELLY: Your Honor, objection. I believe there's a question pending right
now that if we could have that read back, I believe there's a question, no
answer, we intend to request for an --

MR. BAKER: I'll withdraw it.

MR. KELLY: Thank you.

THE COURT: Take the lights down.

(Lights are lowered in courtroom.)

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Now looking at the glove, that glove appears tight; is it
not?

A. Across the knuckle area, yes.

Q. And that glove, to come off a human being such as -- well, strike that.

In terms of your measurements, Mr. Simpson has a pretty wide palm, does he not?

MR. KELLY: Objection to the form of the question.

THE COURT: Can't you get it better focused than that?

MR. KELLY: Objection was to the form, "pretty wide."

THE COURT: Rephrase it.

(Exhibit No. 641 is displayed.)

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) I take it, in measuring the palm and the breadth of Mr.
Simpson's hand, you had measured others prior to the measurements of Mr.
Simpson, correct?

A. I've measured thousand of people's hands.

Q. In Mr. Simpson -- in terms of -- through the palm, that is the width of the
palm is relatively wide. You would agree?

A. Mr. Simpson's exact size is a -- is a perfect extra large in the palm and a
size large in the fingers.

Q. Well, in terms then of the width of his hand, the width, you say is extra
large as well as the meat, that is the breadth the between the palm of his hand
and the distal portion of his hand?

A. Gloves are measured across.

Q. Now, you have to answer my question.

A. He is a perfect, extra large across where you measure for size.

Q. And as I was attempting to ask you, sir, in terms of the size across the
palm, as well as across the back, how big is he, if you measured?

A. Nine and a half on the left and nine and five eighths on the right at that
point in time.

Q. All right. And his hand is rather thick, is it not? That is the area of the
meat between the palm and the distal portion of the hand.

MR. KELLY: Objection as to the form of question, Judge.

THE COURT: What's wrong with it? I don't understand the objection. Thick is --
thick isn't it --

MR. KELLY: Guess it's overruled then, right?

THE COURT: Yeah.

(Laughter.)

THE WITNESS: Mr. Simpson's hand is larger at the bottom compared to proportion
to where we measure a glove in the knuckle area.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) All right. And so once you would put these brown gloves on,
those are brown gloves that you see in photo 641, right?

A. They're a shade of brown.

Q. Those brown gloves in 641, which were a different shade than the gloves you
have in front of you. Would you agree with that?

A. I would.

Q. All right. So those aren't -- you're not suggesting those are the same color
when you suggested they were brown, were you?

A. I can't say that, because my experience is that gloves do darken with age.
And based upon the fact that there was lighting involved in it, I stated prior
that I will not make any speculations on color when it comes to photographs or
video.

Q. All right. So are you familiar with the Cincinnati Bengals uniforms at all?

A. Yes.

Q. The colors that you see in Boomer Esiason's -- below his jacket. Does that
look authentic, like the Cincinnati Bengal's uniform? It's a terrible question.
I ask too many of those.

Let me -- You're familiar with their kind of -- their Bengal colors, are you
not?

Does this look like the Bengal colors?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Compound question. Lack of foundation, Judge.

THE COURT: He said he's familiar with them, overruled.

MR. KELLY: Oh.

THE WITNESS: It's in the same family of colors of the Bengal's uniform.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) All right. And you don't have any indication that the color
that is indicated in that photo is the hue or anything in -- if that thing is
off?

A. I wouldn't know one way or another.

Q. Okay.

Now, in terms of then putting on the gloves, this is the type of glove that you
have to pull on and then push the finger webbing down into the hand, correct;
cause it's a tight fitting, skin tight fitting glove?

A. Each individual does it differently. But if you want to get it on the best
possible way, you'd have to gradually work your fingers into the lining and
pull the lining down a little bit.

The biggest problem with this glove, with this lining is you put your hand in,
there's a tendency to push the lining down into the fingers which restricts the
fit. So . . .

Q. Once you get the glove on, as you suggested earlier, it is exceedingly skin
tight. That's the design of it, right?

A. Yes.

Q. And so -- and that Mr. Simpson up there, that glove, whatever glove it is,
is tight on his hand. You would agree with that?

A. I would agree.

Q. All right?

A. Based upon the fact that his hand is cupped, that's what broadens out the
hand. That's what will make it appear tight.

Q. And to get that glove off, you're going to have to pull it off by the finger
tips, correct?

That's how the 70263 Aris leather light glove is made, is it not, so it comes
off hard and comes on hard so it looks sleek on the hand?

A. It shouldn't come off hard if your hand is straight.

Q. It's not going to fall off, is it?

A. It should not fall off.

Q. It's not going to fall off in two different locations, is it?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Argumentative, irrelevant, speculative.

THE COURT: Overruled.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Do you know if Mr. Simpson was ever known for fumbling --
I'll withdraw the question.

MR. KELLY: Ask that the previous question be withdrawn. Also, there's no answer
to it.

THE COURT: Overruled.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Now, let's talk a little bit about the production of these
particular gloves. They were produced, you say, from 1983 to 1992 with the
Brossar stitch, correct?

A. That's correct.

Q. And they were sold at Bloomingdale's, that has 179 stores, correct?

A. They don't have -- to my knowledge, they do not have 179 stores.

Q. Did they have 179 stores in 1990?

A. They had 13 stores in 1990.

Q. Total? It's your testimony they had total of 13 stores in 1990?

A. Yes.

Q. What was the -- you seem to know specific numbers for 1990, the production
of these gloves, correct?

A. That's correct.

Q. All right.

Now, tell me what the specific production of -- of the 70263 was in 1983?

A. I was asked that question. I estimate the production from '83 to 1988 and
including the production of '89 for '90. I estimated there were probably
between 30- and 35,000 pairs made totally.

Q. Well, in 1989 -- for 1990, Bloomingdale's ordered 12,096 pairs, did they
not?

A. That -- they didn't order 12,000. I put 12,000 into production. They ordered
10,000.

Q. So the 12, the 12,008 (sic) pairs was not the Bloomingdale's order for 1990?

A. That was the -- that was the manufacturing order.

Q. Now, is it true -- well, strike that. What was the 1991 production?

A. I wasn't there.

Q. What was the 1992 production?

A. I was not there.

Q. What was the 1990 production?

A. A thousand dozen.

Q. I thought that was 1989 for sale in 1990?

A. No, no the production order was written probably in June of 1989 for
production at the end of '89 and into 1990 for delivery into 1990. So that in
affect was the 1990 production.

Q. Okay.

What was the '89 production then?

A. Probably about 6,000 pair.

Q. How about '88, do we have an estimate of that, sir?

A. When I started with 1200 pair in '83 and I started graduating it up based
upon performance and it came to about 30, 35,000 pair total.

Q. Do you have an estimate of 1988 production, was the question. I didn't ask
you for history?

A. 4800 pair.

Q. And you don't know what colors were manufactured of those 30, 35,000 pairs,
for example, in mean, do you?

A. Totally less than 5,000 pair.

Q. Now, that pair that you have in front of you is brown, correct?

A. Correct.

Q. The pair in 641 appears to be the color mean, does it not or does it?

THE COURT: It's not up there.

MR. BAKER: Put it back up.

A. I'm really not sure what color it is. Otherwise it looks -- it's a brownish
shade. We had tremendous problems with brown. Every lot of brown gloves that we
produced, came out a different color. I've never been able to be specific on
the color, but it's in the brown family.

Q. Thanks so much.

(Exhibit 641 is displayed.)

Q. The glove you have in front of you are in the dark brown family, aren't
they?

A. These are in the brown family.

Q. The dark brown family as contrasted to the gloves in 641, which is -- are
not in the dark brown family?

A. They are dark brown now.

Q. All right. Tell me about the cuts that you know on those gloves. You've done
an inspection on those gloves, have you not?

A. I've seen them.

Q. And have you seen -- you've inspected them in detail, have you not?

A. Yes, I have.

Q. Tell me if there are any cuts over the left middle finger on the left-hand
glove which I believe is 129?

A. On the left hand, I do not see any cuts.

Q. Not a cut at all, correct?

A. Not on the left-hand glove.

Q. Okay.

I want you to inspect the palm. I want you to inspect every finger of the glove
and tell the jury whether or not there's any cuts on that leather glove,
Exhibit 129, whatsoever?

A. I do not see any.

Q. Okay.

Now, please look at Exhibit 204. That's the right-hand glove, sir. Thank you.
And tell me if you find any indication of a cut as contrasted to a wear mark?

A. I don't think I'm qualified to tell the difference between a wear mark and a
cut.

Q. Well, then, we'll frame it a different way, if we can.

In terms of the indications on the palm of 204, the right-hand glove, is there
any indication that that's wear to you; or if you're not qualified, just say
so?

A. It doesn't appear as wear because it would -- if it was wear, it would
graduate like toward the weakness and tear a part, where it seems to be just
torn a part.

Q. Now, on the back of the glove is there any indication that a knife may have
been put in the glove up by the ribbons, those are petty, pretty sharp,
delineated lines on that glove, are they not?

A. I'm not qualified to answer that.

Q. Anything on the right thumb?

MR. KELLY: Objection. He's indicated he's not qualified to answer that
question, Your Honor.

THE COURT: I think he only asked anything on the right thumb.

MR. KELLY: It was a follow-up to the previous question that he indicated.

THE COURT: Overruled.

MR. KELLY: Okay.

THE WITNESS: There's an opened cut mark of some sort on the thumb, too.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Okay.

Now, did you -- when you inspected those gloves, did -- you looked at the
linings, did you not Mr. Rubin?

A. Yes.

Q. Did you know whether or not there was any appearance of anything that
appeared to be blood on the interior of the linings at all?

A. I wouldn't know it if I saw it.

Q. Was there any dark stains on the interior of the linings, Mr. Rubin?

A. I did not see any.

Q. Did you see any stains at all on the lining?

A. I did not.

Q. Now, in the right-hand glove, there is an opening on the right thumb, the
back of the glove and two openings on the palm of the glove, correct?

A. That's correct.

Q. Now, did you have any discussions with anyone from the LADA's office as to
whether or not there had been any tests done to determine if there was any
blood on the linings of either of those gloves?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Calls for hearsay, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Sustained. Mr. Baker.

MR. BAKER: Thank you, sir.

THE COURT: 1:30, ladies and gentlemen. Don't talk about the case. Don't form or
express any opinions.

(At 11:58 A.M. a recess was taken until 1:35 P.M. of the same day.)

SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1996
1:35 P.M.

DEPARTMENT NO. WEQ
HON. HIROSHI FUJISAKI, JUDGE

(REGINA D. CHAVEZ, OFFICIAL REPORTER)

(Jurors resume their respective seats.)

RICHARD RUBIN, the witness on the stand at the time of the recess, having been
previously duly sworn, was examined and testified further as follows:

THE COURT: You may proceed.

MR. BAKER: Thank you.

CROSS EXAMINATION (CONTINUED) BY MR. BAKER:

Q. Good afternoon, sir.

A. Good afternoon. Good afternoon.

Q. Did you tell me --

What -- did you get paid for your testimony in the District Attorney -- From
the DA's office in the criminal trial, sir?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Irrelevant.

THE COURT: Overruled.

THE WITNESS: Not to this point.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Did you bill them, let me ask you that?

A. I filled out the form. I was never paid.

(Laughter.)

Q. You mean our tax dollars aren't being spent wisely?

Now, how much are you billing the plaintiffs' in this case?

A. I am not billing them anything.

Q. You're not charging anything?

A. No.

Q. And you became kind of enamored with the fact that you were testifying in
the criminal trial and wanted to keep some memorabilia from that trial.

A. I don't believe I become enamored.

Q. Well, you suggested ways for the prosecution to get additional evidence to
convict my client, Mr. Simpson, did you not?

MR. KELLY: Objection. Hearsay, irrelevant, speculative, argumentative.

THE COURT: Overruled.

MR. BAKER: All known grounds.

THE WITNESS: Excuse me?

THE COURT: You may answer.

THE WITNESS: They asked me how they could find as much information as possible
regarding the gloves and what else was there regarding the gloves.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) All right. So they asked you, regarding the gloves, and you
told them about -- this would be a new exhibit. This is your correspondence of
July 6, 1995, Mr. Rubin, is it not, sir?

MR. GELBLUM: We'll mark the document 2147 and the videotape as 2146.

(The instrument herein referred to Court TV videotape of glove demonstration
dated June 14, 1995 was marked for identification as Plaintiffs' Exhibit No.
2146.)

(The instrument herein referred to as correspondence from Richard Rubin dated
July 6, 1995 was marked for identification as Defendant's Exhibit No. 2147.)

THE WITNESS: I'm familiar with this.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Okay.

Now, this letter is July 6 of '95, right?

A. That's correct.

Q. And that was before, of course, the defense had ever even started putting on
a defense in the case, right?

A. That's correct.

Q. And you say you're telling the D.A. there in your letter (reading):

As a point of reference, have all of the mens coats/jackets been checked in the
pockets in New York apartment and LA residence for a second pair. It is highly
probable that Mrs. Simpson bought one black, one brown."

That's what you were telling -- giving advise to the district attorney's office
to do, correct?

A. That was actually in response to a question that was asked to me.

Q. I see. Was the next paragraph in response to a question that was asked of
you (reading):

"... If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any
time. Please, thank everyone for their hospitality during my visit. Maybe I can
make it to the victory party!" Exclamation point.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) Was that in response to a question, Mr. Rubin?

A. Actually the first two sentences are probably the end of every letter I've
dictated in my business career, but the last comment was being gest.

Q. Gest about the victory party. You figured you did a pretty good job for them
and you were going to have a victory party as result of your testimony in the
case; isn't that true, sir?

A. Actually, I didn't think I did a very good job.

Q. I see. So you were just kidding around about the victory party for the
prosecution; is that right, sir?

A. As I said before I --

Q. Is that right?

A. It was in gest.

Q. Were you just kidding around?

A. Yes.

Q. And then you said, just kidding around.

(Reading):

"At your convenience, could you obtain business cards from all the members of
your staff as I want to make one and only one place or piece for my office as
memorabilia of my experience. Please include Mr. Hodgman and Mrs. Clark."

Were you kidding around with that, sir?

A. No, I was not.

Q. Okay. You wanted all that. Did you ask for the cards of all the lawyers
representing all of the plaintiffs in this case?

A. They actually gave me their cards.

Q. You want mine?

A. If you like to give it to me, I'll take it.

Q. I don't think so.

(Laughter.)

Q. Now, relative to -- relative to the -- this morning, we took about a 20
minute break and you were asked by the lawyers, specifically Mr. Kelly, about
the videotape with Mr. Simpson's and him trying on the glove that didn't fit,
right?

MR. PETROCELLI: Objection.

MR. KELLY: Objection. Argumentative, foundation, speculative, assumes facts not
in evidence.

THE COURT: I'll sustain the objection.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) You asked -- Strike that.

You told Mr. Kelly that you could convince this jury, did you not, that the
gloves would have fit Mr. Simpson in the criminal trial if you were allowed to
go on the stand today in this case, true?

MR. PETROCELLI: Objection. There's no good faith basis to that question at all.

THE COURT: Sustained.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) For 15 minutes, you were huddled right here at this podium
with Mr. Kelly, talking about the videotape of Mr. Simpson trying on the gloves
in the criminal trial, were you not, sir?

MR. KELLY: Objection, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Overruled.

THE WITNESS: No, we were not.

Q. (BY MR. BAKER) You were here talking to Mr. Kelly how long about the
videotape of Mr. Simpson trying on the gloves in the criminal trial?

A. Mr. Baker was not even aware that the tape would be shown when I arrived
here.

Q. I'm not talking about when you arrived here, sir. I was talking about
before, just immediately before you went on the witness stand, you talked about
the -- Mr. Kelly told you the judge ruled that tape could be played and talked
about the tape being played of Mr. Simpson trying on the gloves, did you not,
sir?

A. No, we did -- did not.

Q. Never touched on that at all?

A. Not today.

Q. When did you touch on it?

A. It was mentioned when I first arrived that the tape might eventually get
shown.

Q. And so you went over the fact that you could, in your mind -- Strike that. I
have nothing further.

MR. KELLY: Can I have one moment, Judge?

REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. KELLY:

Q. Mr. Rubin, Mr. Baker had asked you to -- for an estimate of total number of
gloves manufactured by Aris. The Aris men's leather light, between '83 and '89,
you mentioned about 35,000 pairs; is that correct?

A. That's correct.

Q. Did that number include gloves of every manufacturer make, size, color,
style, et cetera?

A. Every color, size within that style.

Q. Okay. That wasn't just the brown?

A. No, it was not.

Q. Okay. I have no further questions.

MR. BAKER: Nothing further.

THE COURT: Thank you. You're excused.

MR. PETROCELLI: Your Honor?

THE COURT: Yes.

MR. PETROCELLI: We have a two-hour and 50 plus minute videotape of the
deposition of Harry Scull, which we would like to play as plaintiffs' next
witness.

We can break it up as long as you would --

THE COURT: Two hours and what?

MR. PETROCELLI: 50.

THE COURT: Two hours and five zero?

MR. PETROCELLI: 47 minutes, Your Honor. The direct is very short, but the
cross-examination is somewhat extended.

THE COURT: Okay. You can run it 'till about 1:30, we'll take a break -- 2:30,
we'll take a break.

MR. PETROCELLI: Okay.

THE COURT: Okay.

MR. PETROCELLI: Thank you. I guess we should have the lights down.

(Recess.)

THE COURT: It's 2:30 and 3:30.

MR. PETROCELLI: 2:30 and 3:30.

THE COURT: Okay. Defense . . . Hello.

MR. BAKER: I'm sorry, sir.

THE COURT: Can we get a stipulation that the reporter does not have to take
down the testimony?

MR. BAKER: Yes, sir. No objection.

THE COURT: Thank you.

MR. PETROCELLI: I am proposing to have all the objections as to form that
appear on this video waived, deemed overruled so we don't have you rule on
that.

MR. BAKER: I'm not so willing. I can't remember what's on the video. I didn't
-- so I'm not willing to do that.

MR. PETROCELLI: As to form.

THE COURT: Would you -- unless you verbally state an objection live.

MR. BAKER: Okay. That's fair.

THE COURT: We'll deem it to be waived

MR. BAKER: That's totally fair. That means I have to stay in the room for this.

THE COURT: Well, yes.

(Laughter.)

(The following proceedings were held in open court in the presence of the
jury:)

Q. In the event an objection is interjected, I'll stop the videotape.

(At 2:55 P.M., the videotaped deposition of Harry Scull was played.)

THE COURT: Okay. Take a ten minute recess, ladies and gentlemen.

(The tape was stopped and a recess Taken.)

(Jurors exit courtroom.)

(The following proceedings were held in open court outside the presence of the
jury.)

THE COURT: Jurors left the court room. Counsel, do we have to listen to three
hours of this?

MR. PETROCELLI: The direct is only about ten more minutes.

THE COURT: You know, if there are future videos, I would strongly recommend
that counsel get together and try to limit the video testimony to something
that's essential.

I mean, who cares how many rolls he's got or what the sequence of the contact
prints are, you know.

MR. PETROCELLI: In this case, Your Honor, their contention is the picture is
not authentic. That's why he was taken through the steps on that. That was the
only reason.

MR. KELLY: There's only a couple minutes left.

THE COURT: We're on page 29 and the direct goes to page 35.

All right. I'm just saying. It's really difficult to find it very productive:

THE BAILIFF: We're in recess.

(Jurors resume their respective seats.)

(The following proceedings were held in open court, in the presence of the
jury.)

THE COURT: Okay. How are we proceeding?

MR. PETROCELLI: We have ten more minutes of direct on the video, and then the
defense, in lieu of playing the video, has agreed to read some passages from
their cross-examination, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Okay. You may proceed.

MR. PETROCELLI: Thank you. (Videotaped Deposition of Harry Scull resumes
playing.)

MR. KELLY: Your Honor, before we start the cross-examination, I'd like to put
the exhibits up on the Elmo quickly and move them into evidence.

THE COURT: All right.

MR. KELLY: First of all, I'd like to do Deposition Exhibits 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6
that are cumulative, my Exhibit 724.

If we can put them on one at a time quickly, Steve.

(Mr. Foster displays series of photographs taken by freelance photographer
Harry Scull on September 26, 1993.)

MR. KELLY: That's Exhibit 1.

That's Trial Exhibit 724, also.

724, also, a series of photos.

Can you zoom in a little bit, Steve. Zoom in on that a little bit.

For example, can you do a large shot of the whole contact sheet once more?

And can you put the rest of 724 up there.

And the large shot again.

And 1931, please.

And could you go back to the first shoe one more time.

I ask that they all be moved into evidence.

THE COURT: That's 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6?

MR. KELLY: 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6, cumulatively, our Exhibit 724.

And Deposition Exhibit No. 2 would be Exhibit 1931.

THE COURT: Okay.

MR. KELLY: Thank you.

(The instruments herein collectively referred to as a series of photographs
taken by freelance photographer Harry Scull, taken on September 26, 1993, were
marked for identification as Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 724.)

THE COURT: Proceed.

MR. KELLY: Thank you.

MR. LEONARD: May we, Your Honor?

Mr. Baker -- Mr. Baker Junior will play the part of Mr. Scull, Senior.

You set, Mr. Scull?

MR. P. BAKER: Yep.

MR. LEONARD: Starting at page 36, at line 20:

"Q. Mr. Scull, where do you work?

"A. Phototech Studios.

"Q. What do you do at Phototech Studios?

"A. I'm a black and white printer and photographer, photo assistant, a little

"Q. And what is Phototech Studios?

"A. Phototech Studios is a studio that -- an in-house studio where we
photograph almost everything and then process and print the film -- or process
and print the film in-house.

MR. LEONARD: Okay. Line over to page 39, line 3. (Reading:)

"Q. Okay. Now, by the way, on 9/26/93, did the Associated Press pick out any of
our photos to use?

"A. I don't recall.

"Q. Did you take any photos after the game started?

MR. LEONARD: Let me finish this. We're on line 19.

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. Was the field dry before the game?

"A. I don't recall.

"Q. Do you remember if there was any wind before the game?

"A. I don't recall.

MR. PETROCELLI: Excuse me, Your Honor; I think Mr. Leonard inadvertently
skipped some lines.

Could you go back to line 8, Mr. Leonard.

MR. LEONARD: Line 8?

MR. PETROCELLI: Yeah.

(Continued reading as follows:).

"Q. Was it sunny and dry all day September 26, 1993?

"A. No.

"Q. Was it dry before the game?

recall.

"Q. Was the field dry before the game?

"A. I don't recall.

"Q. Do you remember if there was any wind before the game?

"A. I don't recall.

"Q. Do you remember if there was any wind during the game?

"A. I don't recall that either.

"Q. Do you remember whether or not the temperature was in excess of 50 degrees?

"A. Yes, it was.

"Q. And would that be throughout the period of the game it was in excess of 50
degrees, you believe?

"A. I don't recall that.

"Q. Now, do you have all of the photos that you took on September 26, 1993 here
today?

"A. No.

"MR. BAKER: Mr. O'Connor, why not?

"MR. O'CONNOR: Ask the witness. I have certain photographs that he took on that
particular day.

"THE WITNESS: There is no relationship.

"MR. BAKER: Is it your testimony that you received absolutely no remuneration
for that photograph appearing in National Enquirer?

"MR. O'CONNOR: Object to the form. That's not the question that you asked of
him. You can answer the question.

"THE WITNESS: Would you rephrase it, please.

"MR. BAKER: Is it your testimony that you received absolutely nothing of value
for the photograph appearing in the National Enquirer that is Exhibit 1 to
today's deposition?

"MR. O'CONNOR: Form. You can answer?

"THE WITNESS: No.

"MR. BAKER: Okay. What did you receive of value for that photograph appearing
in National Enquirer?

"THE WITNESS: Myself, $2500.

"MR. BAKER: What else was received by anybody as a result of that photograph
appearing in National Enquirer?

"MR. O'CONNOR: Form. You can answer.

MR. BAKER: I don't think have you to read that, in view of the stipulation.

MR. LEONARD: Okay.

(Continued reading as follows:)

"THE WITNESS: $2500.

"MR. BAKER: To whom? Just you?

"MR. O'CONNOR: You asked him anything -- anyone else.

"Q. When did he ask you if he could act as your agent?

"A. I received a phone call from him on March 28 of 1996.

"Q. Now, did -- between September 26 and March 20 -- strike that. "Between
September 26, 1993 and March 28, 1996, did you tell anybody you had this
photograph that was Exhibit 1?

"A. Would you rephrase that question again, please,

"MR. BAKER: Would you read the question back."

"THE WITNESS: Yes."

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. Okay. And who did you tell?

"A. The National Enquirer.

"Q. When did you tell the National Enquirer?

"A. Approximately June of 1995.

"Q. Did you tell anyone or any other entity between September 26, 1993 and June
of 1995, you had the image that has become photograph Exhibit number 1?

"A. No.

"Q. Why not?

"A. I didn't --"

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. You can answer the question, Mr. Scull.

THE WITNESS: "Would you rephrase it or repeat it, please."

MR. BAKER: "The question was, why not?"

THE WITNESS: "I didn't think it was of any value."

MR. BAKER: "Now, did you tell anyone else before March of 1996, or any other
entity. That you had the image that has become Exhibit 1?"

MR. LEONARD: Line 7.

(Reading:)

"A. Not to my recollection."

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. Did you talk to anybody?"

A. "Yes. Rob McCelroy. I thought that was already stated."

Q. "Okay. Now, in June of 1995, you thought the picture had some value when you
went to the National Enquirer, correct?"

A. "Yeah."

MR. BAKER: "You can answer the question, Mr. Scull"

A. "No."

Q. "When you contacted the National Enquirer in June of 1995, you thought the
image had some value, true?"

A. "Yes."

"Q. And you had contacted Mr. McCelroy by June of 1995, or did you directly
communicate with the National Enquirer?

"A. I directly communicated with the National Enquirer.

"Q. And at that time did you provide them with the negative of the image that
has been come Exhibit No. 1?

"A. Nope.

"Q. Why not?

"A. In my conversations" --

MR. KELLY: Objection. Hearsay.

I'll withdraw the objection, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Okay.

MR. LEONARD: (Continued reading as follows:)

A. "In my conversations with them, they were 'O.J.'d out' and didn't want to
see anything."

Q. "It's your testimony, in June of 1995, the National Enquirer told you they
were 'O.J.'d out;' is that correct?"

A. "Yeah."

Q. "Who was that?"

A. "Ray."

Q. "Who said -- who said that to you from the National Enquirer?"

"A. Ray Ferrall."

"Q. Did you then attempt to communicate with any other of the tabloids to sell
the image that has become Exhibit number 1?

"A. No.

"Q. Now, why in June of 1995 did you feel the image had value?

"A. I just had a head-to-toe picture of O.J. Simpson, and I hadn't seen any to
that point.

"I hadn't seen any photographs at that point.

"Q. Now, it's your testimony that the image that has become Exhibit number 1 in
this deposition was taken by you on September 26, 1993, correct?

"A. Correct.

"Q. And it's your testimony that that was taken with your Canon camera,
correct?

"A. Yes, sir.

"Q. At what lens did you have on your Canon camera?

"A. A 500 millimeter lens.

"Q. That's the 4.5 500-millimeter lens?

"A. Yes, sir.

"Q. Who was the manufacturer of the optics?

"A. Canon.

"Q. Now at that point in time when you took the photograph, you were standing
where?

"A. In the end zone.

"Q. Where in the end zone?

"A. Along the goal line.

"Q. And on which -- you said you were on the Miami side of the field; is that
correct?

"A. It appears to be, yes.

"Q. And the Miami side of the field is -- we have got a picture of Rich Stadium
up there behind Mr. Petrocelli. Orient me, if you can, sir to north, south,
east and west.

"A. Well, I'm not --"

MR. LEONARD: I'm going to skip over now to page 54, line 3:

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. And Mr. Simpson was where?

"A. I believe by the -- around the -- near the Ls in Bills.

"Q. And as -- that would be --

"A. It would be in the middle of the two Ls.

"Q. All right. And you were standing?

"A. Yes.

"Q. And the viewfinder was at your eye level, correct?

"A. Slightly lower.

"Q. Why was the viewfinder slightly lower than your eye?

"A. Because the -- the monopad won't reach a six foot one -- won't reach when
it's fully extended, to my eye.

"Q. So you're six foot one, correct?

"A. Yes.

"Q. And you have a monopod that you put the camera on and shoot because of the
500 millimeter telephoto; is that correct?

"A. Correct.

"Q. All right. And approximately how tall is the monopod fully extended?

"A. I would say five foot.

"Q. You still have that monopod?

"A. Yes.

"Q. Now, what was the speed of the film you were using?

"A. 400.

"Q. Fuji?

"A. Yes.

"Q. And that's the same film you used all day --

"A. No.

"Q. -- correct? "What film -- what other speed film did you use that day?

"A. I used some 1600. 1600.

"Q. Why did you change from 400 to 1600?

"A. Because approximately 1:05 it started to rain and the light changed. The
light diminished and I needed a higher speed film.

"Q. Now, it's your testimony it hadn't been raining until 1:05; is that
correct?

"A. Approximately, yes."

MR. LEONARD: Skipping over to page 57, line 5:

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. You do recall it was sunny at the time you took it?

"A. Yes.

"Q. And approximately what time do you think you took that photograph?

"Q. Okay. And you don't recall any wind that day?

50 degrees, correct?

"A. To the best of my recollection, no.

"Q. Do you recall if it was in excess of 60 degrees at the time you took the
photograph?

"A. To the best of my recollection, no.

"Q. Somewhere between 50 and 60?

"A. To the best of my recollection, no.

"Q. What do you mean, no? Do you know what it was or do you not know what it
was? That is, the temperature.

"A. To the best of my recollection, I don't remember.

"Q. You don't have any recollection of what the temperature was on September
26, 1993?

"A. I can tell you it didn't snow.

"Q. But you don't know, for example, were you wearing a coat that day when you
took that photograph?

"A. Yes.

"Q. What kind of coat were you wearing?

"A. I don't recall.

"Q. Do you usually wear a vest when you take pictures?

"A. Yes.

"Q. Were you wearing a vest?

"A. It's possible.

"Q. You don't have a recollection?

"A. No.

"Q. Do you recall then that you were, or do you have no recollection whether
you were wearing a coat or not?

"A. I was wearing a --"

(Continued reading as follows:)

Q. "You can answer the question Mr. Scull."

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Do you have a recollection, as you sit here today, that you were wearing a
coat on September --

"A. Yes, I do.

"Q. -- 6, 1993?"

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Was it a coat that was a down coat with quilting in it?"

(Continued reading as follows:)

"No. "Was it a down coat?" "To the best of my recollection, I don't remember."

Q. "Now, when did you first meet with Mr. Kelly?"

(Continued reading as follows:)

"You can answer the question, Mr. Scull."

MR. PETROCELLI: Mr. Leonard, since you're deleting the objections, I think you
should delete the "you can answer the question," as well.

MR. LEONARD: Okay.

MR. PETROCELLI: Thank you.

MR. LEONARD: If you go over -- a little complicated -- over to line 6.

"A. He asked" --

MR. KELLY: Objection. Hearsay.

I'll withdraw the objection, Your Honor. Let it out.

Okay.

(Continued reading as follows:)

photo?"

(Continued reading as follows:)

extremities?

"A. Okay.

"Q. Is that 2? Can you flip that over? I'm sorry.

"A. Yes it is.

"Q. All right. Now, before March 28, 1996, had you made any shots such as

"A. No.

"Q. All right. Now, when you gave the negative to Mr. McCelroy did -- to your

gave him the negative of the photograph that's become Exhibit 1."

A. "He said he might have a story in the working with the negative. He wasn't

"A. No.

"Q. What did you give to Mr. McCelroy?

MR. LEONARD: Over to 79, line 7.

MR. P. BAKER: Okay.

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. Now, in terms of your photograph, that's the image that's become Exhibit 1,
you were outside the yellow line in the end zone when that picture was taken;
is that correct?

"A. Correct. I didn't know if you wanted to --

"Q. Yeah, fine. Why don't you put that up. Do you know how wide the football
field is? Because I sure don't.

"A. No. 40 some -- 40 some yards, I believe.

"Q. So you were approximately 20 yards away from Mr. Simpson at the time the
photograph was taken?"

(Continued reading as follows:)

A. "I believe a little further."

Q. "Okay. 25 yards?"

A. "I don't know."

"MR. O'CONNOR: If you can -- If you can approximate, approximate" --

MR. LEONARD: Excuse me.

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. Yeah. If you have an estimate, just give it to me. If it was about 20, 25
yards?

"A. Approximately 30 yards.

"Q. If the football field's 40 yards wide -- and I'll take your word for it
because I don't know -- was he between, for example, the tunnel and the
right-hand sideline, as you see it in that picture?

"A. No. He was between the two Ls.

"Q. Okay. Which would be more centered than off to the right-hand side of that
photograph, correct?

"A. Correct.

"Q. All right. And so if that field is 25 -- strike that. If the field is 40
yards wide, the first L would be approximately the middle, as I -- at least as
I see it from this angle, right? Almost adjacent to the tunnel?

"A. Yes.

"Q. All right. And so it would be within 20, 25 yards of where you were taking
the photograph, correct?

"A. Yes.

"Q. And you were outside the -- okay.

"A. Yellow line that runs --

"Q. That runs perpendicular to the sidelines, correct?

"A. Correct.

"Q. All right. And at the goal line, true?

"A. Yes.

"Q. Okay. Now, the field's made of Astroturf, is it not, at Rich Stadium?

"A. Yes.

"Q. And when you walk around at the stadium, you pick up the debris that comes
off the Astroturf on your shoes, do you not?"

(Continued reading as follows:)

"You can."

Q. "And I want you to look at Exhibit 1 and tell me if you see any debris on
Mr. Simpson's shoes that's consistent with the debris that comes from the
Astroturf that you're familiar with."

(Continued reading as follows:)

A. "No."

Q. "Do you know if Mr. McCelroy is familiar with darkroom techniques including,
for example, masking?"

A. "I don't know."

MR. LEONARD: Good news is, we've got a lot to skip. So ...

Okay. Page 93, line 14.

MR. P. BAKER: Okay.

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. Now, in terms of your recollection, was it sunny up until approximately,
say, 1:05, when it started raining?

"A. Absolutely.

Q. "Okay. And when at 1:05 then it became overcast -- excuse me. "Okay. And
then at 1:05 then it became overcast and commenced raining?

"A. Yeah. A front moved in.

"Q. Now, how do you remember precisely 1:05, sir?

"A. Well, because I remember that the national anthem had ended, they got ready
for the kickoff, and the light changed drastically at that point and part of my
images were a little underexposed because the 4.5 millimeter lens didn't stop
down enough or didn't open up enough.

"Q. And at that time, did you change cameras, or did you change the lens on
your camera body?

"A. I had to change film.

"Q. Okay. So you changed films and continued to use the 500, 4.5 lens?

"A. Yes.

"Q. And that's manufactured by Canon, correct?

"A. Correct.

"Q. All right. Now, in terms of from the time you got there at 9:30, it was
sunny up until 1:05, right?

"A. To the best of my recollection, yes.

"Q. Okay. Did you ever ask Mr. McCelroy if he had done anything to the negative
while it was in his possession?

"A. Yes.

"Q. And he told you what?"

(Continued reading as follows:)

A. "No."

Q. "And he had it in his possession approximately six weeks?"

A. "I don't recall."

"Q. All right. Now, in terms of Mr. McCelroy having it in his possession, did
you ask for it back?

"A. Yes.

"Q. Okay. And did he return then all of the negatives, as far as you know, that
you gave him in the acetate sleeve?

"A. Yes.

"Q. All right. And did he tell you what he had done with them, if anything,
during the time period that he had those negatives?"

(Continued reading as follows:)

A. "Yes."

Q. "Why don't you answer that and we'll --"

A. Yes. I gave the negatives to Mr. McCelroy. He -- Mr. McCelroy -- in turn,
made some prints. The prints were sent along with the negatives to the National
Enquirer. From the National Enquirer, the negatives went to Gamma-Liaison in
London. Mr. McCelroy flew to New York City to pick the negatives up from the
Concord on a return trip. Mr. McCelroy -- Mr. McCelroy delivered -- or hand
carried, delivered the negatives to the Rochester Institute of Technology where
the photo experts examined the negative there. And from there, I picked up the
negatives."

MR. LEONARD: Down to line 19.

(Continued reading as follows:)

"From that point on, I picked them up. When Mr. McCelroy arrived home the next
day, I picked those negatives up."

Q. "So it was your understanding that the negatives left the country and went
to London?"

A. "Correct."

Q. "And how long were they in London?"

A. "I believe two days."

MR. LEONARD: Down to line 14 on page 97.

(Continued reading as follows:)

"MR. BAKER: Mr. Scull, did you ever take a similar photo of Mr. Simpson as is
-- similar to as is depicted in Exhibit 1?"

(Continued reading as follows:)

"THE WITNESS: Not to the best of my recollection."

Q. "So that would be the only photo that you're aware of that shows Mr. Simpson
from head to toe, including his feet, that you have ever taken in the years
that you have been photographing at Rich Stadium?"

A. "Yes."

THE COURT: Mr. Leonard.

MR. LEONARD: Yes?

THE COURT: (Motions for counsel to come to sidebar.)

(Proceedings were held at the bench, without the reporter.) (The following
proceedings were held in open court, in the presence of the jury.)

MR. LEONARD: Pick it up.

(Laughter.)

MR. LEONARD: Okay. Over to page 100, line 3.

MR. P. BAKER: Okay.

(Continued reading as follows:)

"Q. All right. Now, to your knowledge, were the negatives that you have
displayed to us here today ever duplicated?

"A. No.

"Q. And you know of no reason why those negatives would have been duplicated
if, in fact, they ever were, correct?

"A. Correct.

"Q. And do you know why the negatives went to London?

"A. Yes.

"Q. Tell me.

"A. Gamma-Liaison scanned it in the computer.

"Q. And do you know why Gamma-Liaison scanned the negatives into a computer?

(Continued reading as follows:)

A. "For possible sales."

Q. "Well, explain to me who told you that Gamma-Liaison scanned this photograph
into a computer."

A. "Rob McCelroy."

Q. "And when you discussed this with Mr. McCelroy, did he tell you why they
needed to scan it into a computer?"

A. "No."

Q. "Now, did he tell you why Gamma-Liaison was involved in this transaction of
selling the photograph to National Enquirer?"

A. "To -- my recollection indicates that Gamma-Liaison was not involved
whatsoever in the sale."

"Q. Well, did the negatives go to Gamma-Liaison before the photograph was
printed in National Enquirer?

"A. No.

"Q. The photograph indicates in the National Enquirer that it is copyrighted by
Gamma-Liaison, does it not?

"A. Correct.

"Q. And is it your testimony that the photograph was copyrighted by
Gamma-Liaison before they had ever seen the negative?

"A. I don't -- I can't answer that. I don't know.

"Q. You just testified, unless I misunderstood, that the photograph went to
Gamma-Liaison; that is, the negative, the C-41 negative, went to Gamma-Liaison
after the photograph had been published in the National Enquirer, correct?

"A. Correct.

"Q. How do you know that?

"A. I was told by Rob McCelroy.

"Q. Well, what did Rob McCelroy tell you relative to Gamma-Liaison and why,
after it had been published, it needed to go to London to be scanned into a
computer?

"A. It was their headquarters.

"Q. Well, how did he tell you Gamma-Liaison was involved at all in this
photograph being published in the National Enquirer?

"A. Gamma-Liaison Credit was used to, A, protect my identity and to let other
possible sources know that they had the image on file.

"Q. Well, why did you want to protect your identity, Mr. Scull?

"A. Because I just don't want my life interrupted. I wasn't ready to be
besieged by the media and everyone.

"Q. Well, you wanted to sell this photograph, did you not?

"A. Correct.

"Q. And you wanted the photograph to be published, did you not?

"A. Correct.

"Q. And you knew the significance of the photograph when you wanted it to be
sold and published, correct?

"A. No.

"Q. You knew that you had a full-length photo that you say was taken on
September 26, 1993, true?

"A. True.

"Q. And you knew that if it was published, that your name would come out, did
you not?

"A. No.

"Q. When you first when you when did you first contact Mr. Kelly relative to
this photograph being in the National Enquirer as having been taken by
yourself?

(Continued reading as follows:)

A. "I personally did not contact Mr. Kelly. My attorney did."

Q. "And when was it that Mr. Kelly and your attorney, if you know,
communicated?"

A. "I don't recall an exact date."

"Q. Did you direct your attorney to -- strike that. "Did you want to
communicate with Mr. Kelly relative to this particular photograph, Mr. Scull?

"A. Yes.

"Q. Why?

"A. I wanted to -- I wanted to -- if this indeed was true, I wanted to be able
to help out in whatever way I could.

"Q. And when did you decide you wanted to communicate with Mr. Kelly?

"A. I was probably -- "

(Continued reading as follows:)

"It was seven to ten days after the photo appeared on the newsstand.

"Q. Now, did you ever communicate with Mr. Kelly before last night?

(The following proceedings were held at the bench, with the reporter:)

MR. LEONARD: It appears that Mr. Kelly is going to go back and try to read
portions of the cross-examination.

I don't think that's appropriate. They had an opportunity to get into redirect.
I don't think it's appropriate for him to read cross-examination.

MR. PETROCELLI: Excuse me. First of all, I don't know of any such rule of law.
We're reading deposition transcripts two at a time.

I designated -- they directly informed me, Your Honor, that they were doing the
entire cross, so I had no way of knowing that they were going to pick and
choose. So we now want to read some portions that they omitted on
cross-examination.

THE COURT: Okay. I'll allow it.

MR. PETROCELLI: Thank you.

MR. LEONARD: Can I have that reference again?
