LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Prosecutors have rested their case against O.J. Simpson and a co-defendant after the last witness admitted his testimony in court differed from what he told police about the hotel room confrontation last year.
Michael McClinton earlier told the jury Simpson asked him to bring guns and "look menacing" when they met with two sports memorabilia dealers last October. He acknowledged under cross-examination Monday that he didn't tell police that.
Simpson defense lawyer Gabriel Grasso asked McClinton: "You have a whole conversation with police and you never say 'O.J. said to bring guns?'"
The witness responded: "It may have slipped my mind."
After McClinton finished two days of testimony, prosecutors rested their case.
