FBI AGENT TESTIFIES O.J.SIMPSON WAS SUPPLIED WITH DRUG ECSTASY

MIAMI - An ecstasy dealer supplied the illegal party drug to retired
football star O.J. Simpson and six other people, an FBI agent testified
Monday at the trial of an Ohio developer.

Five of them, but not Simpson, received the pills in amounts indicating
they were distributing them, FBI Agent Chris Piersza testified during the
federal drug trial of Mark Nowakowski. Simpson received smaller amounts,
Piersza said.

Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, denied his client received even a single
ecstasy pill from the admitted dealer, Andrew Anderson, who was known to
Simpson as Adrian Burke.

"If any FBI agent is claiming that O.J. Simpson actually took possession of
any narcotic at all, he is greatly mistaken,'' Galanter said. "He never
ever, ever, ever got an ecstasy pill from Adrian Burke, ever.''

Anderson, Nowakowski and seven others were indicted in November on ecstasy
distribution conspiracy charges. Simpson was not indicted, but his house
was searched by the FBI.

Anderson and co-defendant John Thorburn pleaded guilty rather than go to
trial. Thorburn testified he was the middleman in the sale of ecstasy
obtained from Anderson.
