I never did read the book, O. J. Is Innocent... and had a good reason not to. My 2-yr old granddaughter was born in April 2012 and I think I got distracted by birthdays (4 of them) and wasn't doing any reading.
Anyway, the way it went was Nicole's mother called her and told her about the missing sunglasses. Nicole calls the restaurant, and according to the time log on the phone bill, it took them LESS than 2 minutes to find them, and they were supposedly outside on the sidewalk. It could have been one minute, but the phone company rounds off to the next minute.
Marcia Clark did the questioning and didn't notice how goofy the times were. You'd figure the waitress would have to stop what she was doing to be notified of the call, go to the table, check the floor under the table, the restroom, etc., and finally, as a last straw, check the sidewalk, where it was found, they said.
I think the glasses were picked up and held on purpose so that someone would call. And how nice it was that someone could bring the glasses to Nicole's....hmm.
They were waiting for the call, I thought. The waitress also testified at the civil trial. At one trial, she said that the glasses were worn by the mother as she entered, and the other trial, they weren't, according to my memory. The waitress left CA very quickly...
And they disregarded Rosa's testimony about seeing/hearing someone next door because she lied about her age. She left the country pretty quick.
And I thought OJ acted as though he was drugged, which no one brought up.
Wish that website that had the whole trial was still on - it was "Sheldon.." something or other, I just can't remember.
My kids always had friends who stayed over and we'd get a call the next day, and it always took more than 2 minutes to find anyhthing.
Went thru a lot of old things getting ready for the grim reaper, and could not locate my 3-page single-spaced notes on the trial. There had already been 2 murders connected with that restaurant.
I just ordered the book in my OP from another library on loan.
Sorry to have made this so long, but my interest just got sparked again. Ignore if you've lost yours, I'll understand.
