The fate of O.J. Simpson will be in the hands of an all-white jury of 12 when opening arguments began yesterday in his trial on kidnapping and armed robbery charges in Las Vegas.

A jury with no blacks in the main panel was chosen late Thursday to judge O.J. Simpson and a co-defendant on kidnapping and robbery charges after a contentious courtroom battle in which defense lawyers argued African-Americans were being systematically excluded by the prosecution. District Attorney David Roger defended the final makeup of the jury, saying that two of six alternate jurors are black.
