O.J. SIMPSON . . . REPORT SAYS NICOLE BEATING PHOTOS FOUND
Just days after lead defense attorney Robert Shapiro promised to limit statements to the media, his side is apparently leaking again. Quoting defense sources, the Associated Press reported today that prosecutors drilled out the lock on Nicole Brown Simpson's safe-deposit box and seized photographs of her with a bruised forehead and injured left eye. The pictures show injuries Ms. Simpson had after police were summoned to the Simpson home in 1989. Simpson pleaded no contest to spousal battery in that incident. Prosecutors are expected to argue that the photos show a pattern of spouse abuse by O.J. Simpson. The defense is likely to try to block use of the photos since they were taken well before the 1994 killings and because Nicole Simpson can't be cross-examined.
