O.J. Judge Sets Date

LOS ANGELES () -- Judge Lance Ito set Monday as the date for opening arguments in the murder trial of the football star O.J. Simpson.


The judge also ruled inadmissable Nicole Brown Simpson's damning from-the-grave accusations that her ex-husband had been stalking her and wanted to kill her.


But that was about the only break Simpson received Wednesday as Ito gave prosecutors the go-ahead to introduce evidence painting the football hero as a wife beater, a stalker and a man so obsessed with the woman who walked out on him that he could murder her and a friend in Los Angeles, then fly off to Chicago as if nothing happened.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
