O.J. SIMPSON . . . JOHN Q. PUBLIC'S VERDICT

O.J. Simpson had better make a better impression on the jury than he has on those Americans surveyed in a new Associated Press poll. According to AP, 14 percent of those polled said that Simpson definitely killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman, while 43 percent said he probably did it. Only 4 percent said they feel sure he is innocent. Among AP's other findings, men were more likely than women to believe that O.J. is guilty. Opening statements in the trial are scheduled for Monday.
