NATIONAL
Release of O.J.
Simpson 911
Tapes
Continue to Raise Furor
' ? * 4
. LOS ANGELES (AP) ? O.J.
Simpson will not plead insanity to
charges he murdered his ex-wife
and her friend, and has an alibi for
the night they were stabbed to death,
his lawyer said Sunday.
F. Le$ Bailey, who recently
joined Simpson's hjgh-powered
defense team, also said prosecutors'
are pinning much of their case on
the results of DNA tests from blood
* samples. The tests could either help
clear Simpson or link him to the
? slayings. y
"If the DNA comes back and
is not a match then the police had
better get busy opening the invests
, gation they may have prematurely
closed," Bailey said on CNN's
"Late Edition." ' ,
Simpson has been charged
with murder in the'June 12 slayings
. of Nicole Brown Simpson and her
friend Ronald Goldman. He has
' " . . ' 0 ' I
f pleaded innocent.
"He says he was at home
waiting for a limousine to take him
to the airport." Bailey told The New
York Times. "So, if he was home,
he couldn't have done it. could he?"
Bailey also said he wouldn't
be surprised if prosecutors sought to
? I
O.J. Simpson
delay today's preliminary hearing to
be able to complete tests on some of
the evicjfence, the newspaper said. If
the hearing is delayed, Simpson
would have to be allowed out on"
bail, he said. I
Suzanne Childs, a spokes
woman for the district attorney, said
the hearing will not be
delayed and that the
prosecution plans to go
beyond just presenting
evidence, as is often
the case at preliminary
hearings. J
"The rules per
mit us just to put on
the investigating offi
cers," Childs told the
Times. "But we intend
to put on other wit
nesses."
Meanwhile, a
coroper's report
obtained Sunday said
Nicole Simpson, 35,
was found lying in a
fetal position wearing
a black eft-ess and no
shoes when her body
was discovered. Gold
man, 25, was dressed
in blue jeans and a light-colored cot
ton sweater. Both had been stabbed
and slashed repeatedly.
Alan Dcrshowitz, another
? x " '* > i
famed lawyer who has signed on to
defend Simpson, said before joining
the legal team that Simpsorf's likely
defense would be insanity. But Bai
ley said Simpson will not plead he
was insane.
"He got sucked in . . , that all
the evidence that the DA leaked and
you people published was true,"
Bailey said of Dershowitz on the
CBS news program "Face The
Nation." "He is outraged to now
find out that it is now admitted that
it doesn't exist.''
Bailey also criticized the
release of 91 1 tapes from October
1993 on which a sobbing Nicole
Simpson pleaded for help from
police after O.J. Simpson broke into
her house. He said Simpson would
have trouble getting a fair trial, but
he told the Times that the defense
would not seek ttj move the trial.
Police and prosecutors
blamed each other for the tapes',
release. Police say Deputy District
Attorney David Conn authorized the
release, but prosecutors say police
never, mentioned the rapes in a dis
cussion about a media request for
the information.
- ? ? The release prompted a judge
two days later to end a grand jury
investigation of Simpson amid com
plaints that jurors had seen the
relentless news coverage.
The coroner's report by an
investigator for the Los Angeles
County coroner's office was
obtained by the syndicated TV show
"American Journal'/ for a report
scheduled to air Monday and pro
vided to The Associated Press on
Sunday.
The document, which had
few details not previously reported,
said eyeglasses belonging to Nicole
Simpson's mother vyere lying at the
feet of Goldman in a white enve
lope. Previous reports indicated that
the glasses belonged to Nicole
Simpson. .
Goldman had gone to Nicole
J ,
Simpson's Brentwood condo
minium to return the eyeglasses left
at the Mezz&luna restaurant where
he waited tables.
The report said Nicole Simp
son was last known to be alive at
about 1 1 p.m. when she spoke to her
mother on the telephone about the
glasses.
A neighbor discovered the
bloodied bodies near the gated
entrance of the home at about 12:30
a.m. after seeing Nicole Simpson's
dog wandering around the neighbor
hood, the report said.

NAACP Leader Criticizes Settlement in Lawsuit
. ROANOKE. Ala. (AP) ?
Attorneys for a mixed-race, student
~~ were too quick to settle herj lawsuit
against the white high school princi
pal who criticized interracial dating
and called her a "mistake." a local
NAACP leader said.
v v Charlotte Clark-Frieson. pres
ident of the Randolph County chap
ter of the NAACP and a member of
the county school board, said Friday
that, the attorneys should have
worked harder to remove principal
Huland Humphries.
Humphries allegedly threat
ened to cancel the high school prom
if interracial couples planned to
attend. ,The school board '-suspended
him for two weeks, then reinstate^
him. Clark-Frieson and another
board member dissented.
-Humphries was sued "by"
Revonda Bo wen. a 17-year-old stU
dent who has a white father and
black mother. Bowmen claimed that
Humphries humiliated her in front
of classmates when he told her that
her parents' marriage and her birth
?( . She settled the lawsuit for
"S25.CXK) last week;
Richard Cohen, the Southern
Poverty Law Center's legal director,
said Clark-Frieson' s complaints are
foolish.
"We represented the Bowens
for free." he said. "We didn't take
one dime of the settlement, and
we're not even trying to recoup our
expenses." '?
