O.J. SIMPSON . . . DEFENSE BARRED FROM RECORDS

Judge Lance Ito barred the defense from getting its hands on personnel records of two Los Angeles detectives involved in the O.J. Simpson case. The decision by Ito was a blow to the defense, which had hoped to discredit detective Mark Fuhrman as racially prejudiced and dishonest. Fuhrman testified that he found a glove, which matches one found at the scene of the murders, at the Simpson estate. The defense team has implied that Fuhrman planted the glove to frame the former football star. Ito also delayed the O.J. Simpson trial by one week, to Sept. 26.
