O.J. Trial Interrupted By Chest Pains

If every day of O.J. Simpson‘s trial is as dramatic as yesterday, he might wind up with more than one Trial Of The Century to his name. Memorabilia collector Bruce Fromong, the first witness for the prosecution, had to be excused during a harsh cross-examination due to chest pains. Simpson attorney Gabriel Grasso was questioning why Fromong had never claimed someone yelled “put the gun down” during the 2007 hold-up until now, when the witness became dizzy, signalling that he might be having his fifth heart attack this year. Paramedics were called, but Fromong was ok and will probably complete his testimony today.

Simpson stayed calm during both Fromong’s testimony—which included the collector tearfully describing how O.J., his former “best friend,” hurt his feelings by robbing him—and his emergency departure. Can’t blame the guy for finding this anti-climactic. [Reuters]
