Welcome to the second week of the OJ Simpson trial!
Opening statements are scheduled to start today, with the prosecution leading off. I'm not sure what things look like inside the courtroom, but outside the courthouse the scene is pretty calm. Actually, there just seems to be a lot of standing around.
The media folks are standing under white tents waiting for things to get going, the police officers are standing at street blockades chatting as they wait to prevent crime (or deal with rowdy OJ gawkers, but I haven't seen any of those yet), and people here on other court business are standing around talking on their cell phones.
The only familiar trial character to show up so far is the OJTalk guy, who still has on his Santa-esque outfit from last week. It doesn't look like he's up to any antics yet (maybe it's too early and he needs some coffee first), although as I was taking photos he did tell me that I look like Heidi Fleiss -- I'm not sure if I should be flattered or offended.
