Summary

MORE LEGAL WRANGLING OVER O.J. SIMPSON'S JAIL HOUSE OUTBURST. A JAIL GUARD OVERHEARD THE COMMENTS WHILE SIMPSON WAS TALKING TO FORMER FOOTBALL PLAYER ROSEY GRIER, WHO'S NOW A MINISTER. THE PROSECUTION WANTS TO USE THE STATEMENTS, ARGUING THE GUARD WASN'T TRYING TO EAVESDROP AND ONLY HEARD THE COMMENTS WHEN SIMPSON STARTED SHOUTING. BUT SIMPSON'S ATTORNEYS SAY SIMPSON HAS A RIGHT TO PRIVACY. ALSO TODAY, THE TWO SIDES ARGUED IN OPEN COURT ON THE ISSUE OF ADMITTING GENETIC EVIDENCE AT TRIAL. THE DEFENSE NOW WANTS TO HASH THAT OUT IN FRONT OF THE JURY, SOMETHING THE PROSECUTION OPPOSES.
