Westside : SIMPSON HEARING
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials have beefed up security at Santa Monica Superior Court in anticipation of today’s pretrial hearing in wrongful-death lawsuits filed against O.J. Simpson.
Additional sheriff’s personnel will staff the courthouse at the 3 p.m. hearing, and contingency plans have been prepared for future hearings.
“We’re trying to anticipate the best we can,” said Sgt. Terry Black. “Actually, we’re expecting more media than anyone else.”
Today’s hearing includes motions to consolidate the suits of the Goldman and Brown families and a motion to seal depositions in the case.
