we heard from arnelle simpson and what did you make of her words today? >> well, the first thing, brooke, i made of arnelle's statements is they reminded me so much of what senator mccain's daughter has said about her dad, that he's her rock, he's her friend, he's her confidant so you heard this very compelling testimony from o.j. simpson's daughter. >> except one of them has brain cancer and the other convicted of -- >> well, i want to address that, brooke, too, because as i'm listening to jeffrey and mark, for me, o.j. has always been about race, class, and justice and although i didn't agree with everything just a momeoechl o.js concept of him being a conflict-free life, of course that's not true and of course the issues of domestic violence, as they related to his second wife, were very serious, and we should all take them very seriously. but i sat here and counted the times that he said he was sorry, and the time that he expressed remorse. we're not here today to relitigate what he did with respect to his first wife, with respect to domestic violence
