6. Before the murder, I used to see OJ at the bank.

I lived about a mile from the Brentwood branch of the First California Bank. If I went there instead of the Centinela branch, I would find free valet parking, and a carpeted and quiet bank with no lines. The Centinela branch, a mile the other direction, had linoleum floors, security guards and security cameras, and long lines. Class war in LA.

I saw OJ at Brentwood several times; he enjoyed being a public celebrity. Nicole Brown Simpson's security deposit box was at this bank. The restaurant where the waiter worked was only a block away.

The first time I saw OJ was when I got stuck behind an amazing red sports car in gridlock traffic in Westwood. I read the car name on the back: Ferrari Testarossa. I said to myself "Who the hell can afford that?" I could see that the driver's windows were down, and I maneuvered myself alongside after some stop-and-go traffic. The driver was OJ, of course. Most famous people in LA hide behind tinted windows. He liked being seen and recognized.

For the record, I think OJ was guilty, too.
