I wasn't speaking of his words but how Kato said them. The way he kept looking as if he was scared looking at O.J. looking at prosecutor, carefully weighing his answers, watching every intonation. I used to take Acting classes in College and was up for a full Scholorship for ACT in Oakland, well it was then, now I believe it moved to SF. In regards to testimony, the movement of Kato and his unwillingness to give straight answers made what he said more evil than what actually happended. It took the bigger than life O.J. Simpson and put negative implications on his words that had he just testified and did make it like pulling teeth to get answers, not being changed into a hostile witness in front of the jury. He performed for the jury so that the insignificance of what he had to say would not be noticed by the jury. I wasn't weighing one witness over another but making an observation of diversion type behavior by a single witness.
