Witness admits seeing car
resemblingO J. Simpson’s
By LINDA DEUTSCH
AP Special Correspondent
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A car
similar to 0 J. Simpson’s Bronco
sped away from the murder scene,
a defense witness acknowledged
Wednesday, but he fiercely denied
recognizing one oftwoangry voices
he heard that night as Simpson’s.
- “Didn’t you (say)... ‘I know it
was O. J. It had to be him?”’ Deputy
District Attorney Christopher
Darden asked duringcross-exami
nation.
“I never said that. Absurd!” ex
claimed Robert Heidstra, who lives
around the comer from the condo
minium where Nicole Brown
Simpson and Ronald Goldman
were slain and was walking his
dogs the night of the murders.
Tm so mad at both of
you guys that I’m
about to hold both of
you in contempt. ”
■
Jumi Ito
Heidstra’s testimony came dur
ing a court session marked by an
outburst by Judge Lance Ito, who
stormed off the bench and warned
two attorneys they faced “severe
sanctions” if they continued to per
sonally attack each other.
Heidstra reluctantly confirmed
that he once described a white Jeep
like vehicle speeding away from
the condo about a half hour after
the time Simpson allegedly had
driven his white Ford Bronco there
to commit murder. Heidstra ac
knowledged that the vehicle he saw
“could have been a Bronco.”
On redirect examination, de
fense attorney Johnnie Cochran Jr.
elicited from Heidstra the observa
tion that the vehicle turned a comer
and headed south, away from
Simpson’s home.
Heidstra’s testimony is key to the
defense, which is challenging (he
prosecution ’ s chronology for the night
of June 12, 1994, to show that some
one other than Simpson could be the
murderer.
Darden intimated that a woman
who often conversed with Heidstra in
his native French has told prosecutors
he identified one voice he heard that
night as Simpson’s.
But Heidstra said he couldn’t have
recognized Simpson’s voice because
he has never spoken to the defendant
and can’t remember ever hearing him
on TV.
He also denied saying that one of
the voices he heard was a black man
and told jurors he would be unable to
identify someone’s race from hearing
a voice.
Darden’s questions about race set
off one of the most vitriolic exchanges
of the trial between Darden and
Cochran.
Ito, who wound up shouting at the
lawyers and the witness and sending
jurors out of the room, threatened the
sanctions against the two black law
yers if there are any more personal
attacks.
“I’m so mad at both of you guys
that I’m about to hold both of you in
contempt,” Ito warned after Cochran
accused Darden of asking racist ques
tions and Darden protested.
“I’ve always considered the ques
tion of race in this case to be a ques
tionablc issue, your honor. How
ever, this is the witness’s statement
and if the statement is racist then he
is a racist, not me,” Darden said.
Addressing Cochran directly,
Darden said some of the defense
lawyer’s comments have “created a
lot of problems for my family and
myself.”
Cochran and Darden have had a
contentious relationship through
out the case, and they clashed when
Darden argued against the defense
use of a racial epithet in attacking a
police detective as a racist. Darden
has accused the defense of improp
erly injecting race into the case.
Cochran has attacked Darden’s le
gal skills and suggested he was cho
sen for the case only because he is
black.
The judge’s outburst surprised
jurors, who jumped when Ito
shouted, “Wait! Wait! ” and abruptly
ordered them out of court saying,
“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
please leave!” They were on their
feet before he finished his sentence.
When the jury returned 20 min
utes later, Ito apologized and told
Heidstra: “I want you to understand
I’m not mad at you, but I have some
things on my mind.”
Darden accused Heidstra of tai
loring hi s testimony to help Simpson
after prosecutors decided not to call
him as a witness. Again, his accusa
tions were based on interviews witfe **
the French-speaking Patricia Baret,
an employee for the veterinarian
who treats Heidstra’s two dogs.
“Didyoutell Miss Baret you thought
O. J. Simpson was going to kiss you
when he got out of prison?” Darden
asked.
“I don’t know where she got
that. It’s absurd,” Heidstra said.
The witness acknowledged he
was “disappointed” when the pros
ecution didn’t call him to testify but
denied he had changed his story to
benefit the defense or to make
money off his story.
