O.J. Simpson Witness Claims He Has a "Foggy" Memory

For nearly a year, Ehrlich stood by Simpson as a co-defendant, facing 12 charges, including kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and coercion.

But in August he became the fourth co-defendant to plea bargain to reduced charges and agree to testify against Simpson. The only co-defendant remaining is Clarence “C.J.” Stewart, who has pleaded not guilty along with Simpson.

Ehrlich gave damaging testimony against Simpson on Monday, contradicting Simpson's claim that he never saw a gun in the hotel room.

But Simpson attorney Yale Galanter, attacked Ehrlich's credibility, repeatedly asking for specifics. Who was standing where, he wanted to know, and who told him what was going to happen?

“I can't remember that,” Ehrlich said. “I can't recall. I can't remember that particular conversation.”

Ehrlich said he had posed questions to middleman Thomas Riccio about the planned meeting at the Palace Station Hotel Casino. But when Galanter asked what the questions were, Ehrlich protested, “You're asking me about specifics.”

“That's what this trial is about – specifics,” Galanter said.

“I can't recall exactly the questions,” said Ehrlich. “That was a year ago.”

Since then, he said he had two heart attacks and conceded some things have become “foggy” in his memory.

Working together over the last decade and a half, Simpson and an assortment of these dealers made some money, much of it in unreported cash. But now, Simpson can only watch as each of his four dealers takes the witness chair and testifies against him. The dealers are a blue-ribbon bunch. Sometimes, it's difficult to believe that anyone would buy anything from any one of them. They offer a look into an underground economy that redefines the term "low-end" and challenges the limits of the word "sleaze." Welcome to the trailer park of sports.
