Testimony in OJ case begins again in trial timeline
A dog walker testifying for the defense at OJ Simpson's murder trial set a timeline for the Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman killings. He described a barking dog a shouting man and a white speeding car around 10 35 p m. and 10 40 to 10 45 p m. The account clashes with prosecutors timing of 10 15 p m. and supports the defense that Simpson could have returned home before a limo pickup. Neighbors later corroborated portions of the timeline and a bartender contradicted the claim that Goldman was meeting Nicole for a date.
