mr. fromong many years ago. now we're going to hear him testify on oj's behalf. >> state your name for the record and then please proceed. >> it is bruce fromong. thank you for the opportunity to be able to speak today. first and foremost, i would like to state that i'm not here just as mr. simpson's friend of almost 27 years. because that i am. today i'm also appearing as the victim of the crime on september 30th -- or september 13th of 2007. on that day, i felt that mr. simpson was misfwieded. not by himself but also by tom riccio. he was led to believe that thousands of his pieces of personal memorabilia, picture of his wife from his first marriage, pictures of his kids, arnelle and jason. family heir looms, possibly his wife's wedding ring, thousands of things. he was misled about what was going to be there that day. thomas riccio had promised him this big package. in reality, once -- thomas riccio had never met me his entire life until the night of the robbery. he got there, saw this stuff. he went down, got

mr. fromong made things -- and mr. simpson have made things right with each other. that he's accepted mr. simpson's apology wholeheartedly. he seems to be fundamentally really, really a good guy who's fallen on hard times recently, and he told me he would be calling and coming in and testifying favorably for mr. simpson. i made sure i told him probably 15 or 20 times to say whatever he wanted to say, because you know, obviously, mr. simpson's attorney talking to a victim, i >> i've come here, spent nine years making no excuses about thinking. i am sorry that things turned out the way they did. i had no intent to commit a crime, i came here, i tell the inmates all the time, man, i don't want to hear about your crime. you know. argue in court, here, we're all convicts. i'm a convict. do your time. i told the warden when i got here, mr. legrange, miss carpenter that i would be no problem. i believe in this jury system. i will honor what the jury says. and i will be no problem. you know, and i think i kept my word. like i said, i've done my time. i'd just like to get ba

mr. fromong. it's not being permitted at this time for various respected reasons for the nevada department of corrections and so -- but they're friends. they were friends. this was a big mishap. so i think it was actually very, very positive. >> what, in there? i don't think he said anything to me. you know, i mean, the mikes were right there. you would have caught it but i don't think he said anything. he was just very happy. he was very emotional if you were looking at the cameras. he was very emotional. so next question. >> is he worried about how he's going to be received by the public? >> not at all. no. he's been in the media spotlight since he was 19. if he didn't explain it -- if he didn't explain it on camera, he certainly splexplained it, you know, in private so he's also used to dealing with media attention. that's never been a problem for him at all. listen, do you know that jeffery felix is a complete fraud and everything that you said -- i was watching you earlier this morning when y

mr. fromong is sitting right here. mr. beardsley passed away in 2015. mr. beardsley and mr. d the last time i recall speaking to mr. beardsley was in september of 2011. this is not that long after i maybe had been representing mr. simpson for a couple years at that point. i was uncomfortable that mr. beardsley who was a victim in the case and my client is considered the person who victimized him was calling me. i did explain i wanted to record the conversation. i asked him if he wanted an attorney before he talked to me. he said fine. he indicated in no uncertain terms in that conversation that he had cleared up this matter with mr. simpson. he was trying his hardest to do to get mr. simpson out of prison. and they had made it right. mr. simpson had apologized to him, and they had sent letters to mr. simpson, and mr. simpson responded, and that was on counsel at the time. and also, there was another issue of -- and mr. simpson has written, and i want to emphasize this again. that he had a set of photos, and these are not memorabilia. mr. simpson, if he didn't make his point a

mr. fromong have made calls to my office and the last time i recall speaking to mr. beardsley was in september of 2011. this was not long after i have been representing for mr. simpson for a couple of years, i was a little uncomfortable that beardsley, who was a victim, was calling me. i explained to him that i wanted to avoid the conversation and he consented and i asked him if he wanted and he was fine. i bring up this conversation because as i stated before, since he is no longer here i think i can speak for someone who is speaking for the dead. he he had indicated that he had cleared up this matter with mr. simpson. he was trying his hardest to do whatever he wanted to get mr. simpson out of prison. he had just -- they had just made it right. mr. simpson had apologized to him. and they had just basically made it right. and he was very very -- he sent letters to mr. simpson. mr. simpson had responded. that was probably on the advice of counsel at the time. and then also there was another issue of, and mr. simpson has raised this issue, and i want to emphasize this
