O.J.’s Defense Team Punch
Prosecutor’s
O.J Simpson defense team be
gan poking holes in the prosecutors
case last Monday.
One of Sim pson’s lawyers, F.
Lee Bailey, told the New York
Tim es News Service that the d e
fense case would be “short, punchy
and crisp” and could span for a
m atter of weeks
A shift from what the team
originally planned They stated that
the prosecution’s case was weaker
than they had expected. Also, they
feared that the jury is resentful, rest
less and fragile with only two o f 12
alternates remaining.
The defense presentation is fo
cusing on three major themes. One
theme is that Simpson did not have
enough time tokillhisex-w ife, Nicole
Brown-Simpson, and her friend,
Ron Goldman. Another focus is that
he never behaved like a killer, be
fore or after the slaying The third is
that anything appearing to incrimi
nate him is a police set-up. The
prosecutor has rested it’s case last
week after months of blistering
cross-exam inations and damning
DNA debacles.

Dog, Cat Population Explodes Again
T here’s very little room in the
“inn.”
The flood o f un wanted pets con
tinues to flow through the doors at
the Oregon Humane Society. Last
week more than 80 dogs, 61 kittens
and 83 adult cats needed homes.
And while these animals await
ed new families, more pets were
expected because o f animals that ran
away, frightened by July 4th fire
works.
Officials said presently, there
are many smaller variety dogs avail
able for adoption - many o f them
purebred, including Boykin, spring
er and American cocker spaniels.
There are cats and kittens o f all ages
and breeds.
People considering adding a pet
to their family are urged to visit the
society’s shelter at 1067 N.E. C o
lumbia Blvd. and see the many can
didates available for placement in
new homes.
The society also asks that pet
owners take precautions to protect
their animals during the hot summer
weather.
For animals that live outdoors,
plenty o f fresh water and shade for
the pets to reach throughout the day
are critical.
Dogs left in cars also are at a
very high risk o f death from heat and
owners are asked to leave them in a
cool place at home.
