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 Simpson's lawyers. F.
Lee Bailey, told the New York
Times News Service that the de­
fense case would be "short, punchy
and crisp" and could span for a
matter 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 of 12
alternates remaining
The defense presentation is fo­
cusing on three major themes. One
theme is that Simpson did not have
enough time tokill hisex-wife, 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-examinations and damning
DNA debacles.

Dog, Cat Population Explodes Again
There’s very little room in the
“inn.”
The flood of 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 of 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 of all ages
and breeds.
People considering adding a pet
to their family are urged to visit the
society’s shelter at 1067 N.E. Co­
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 of 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 of death from heat and
owners are asked to leave them in a
cool place at home
Anyone w ith questions about
the animals available for ad o p ­
tion or animal care can contact
the Oregon Human Society at
285-7222.
