Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor in the double-murder trial of O.J. Simpson, had begun her rebuttal summation in the morning, and she clearly intended to conclude it later that day.
Marcia Clark suggested that she and I and a friend of hers meet for lunch at noon on the Friday after the verdict -- which was, as it happened, a week to the moment after I had eaten with Shapiro in the C.C.B. cafeteria.
Clark paused a long time, and then said, "I haven't sorted it all out, and I don't think it's all that simple." The astonishing brevity of the jury's deliberation seems to have provided a peculiar kind of comfort to her.

 Online NewsHour: U.S. Supreme Court Weighs Arizona's Insanity Defense Laws -- April 19, 2006
MARCIA COYLE: The prosecution offered as evidence the fact that Eric Clark had earlier talked about wanting to kill a police officer, about luring a police officer into a situation where he could kill the officer.
The only way that Clark could rebut that evidence, he felt, was to show that he was mentally ill, that he did not think he was killing a police officer.
MARCIA COYLE: Clark's attorney argued there were two constitutional problems here: First, the rule that doesn't allow him to offer evidence of mental illness to rebut the prosecution's intent argument.

Goldberg was asking questions of the witness on redirect when Marcia Clark was standing next to him and she was giggling and laughing, and she was doing that visibly repeatedly.
Clark: The problem, though, that we were aware of, is the translator was interpreting instead of translating what she was saying and changing words and cleaning up her language, not even interpreting some of the things she was saying at all.
Clark: Tarnower, that is it, and the jury rejected his opinion and voted guilty of murder and his response to their rejection of his theory on his testimony to support their theory that it was an accident, because the crime scene reconstruction was important to that theory, was, you know, the heck with juries.
