Hodgman was always very cordial and went out of his way to speak to the new Deputy DAs — to congratulate them on getting the job, and to tell them what a great career they were going to have. Marcia Clark was more standoffish. [...] [...] I heard a story from Mrs. P. that directly reinforces this point.

For that matter, with the same stretch logic, the trial could have been held in another city, and the hallway could still lead to Judge Lance Ito's ninth floor courtroom.
