Reagan Library.
Do jurors want to visit?
First Lady turned down.
9/18/95
Can you imagine, the O.J. Simpson trial jurors nixed Nancy Reagan’s invitation to tour the Reagan Library, or maybe it was the L.A. County Sheriff’s Office, which was charged with the care and feeding of the jury. Maybe because the Library location of Simi Valley, was too far away — about 45 miles — or too… I don’t know. I can’t say too much, since I lived there. In Simi Valley, not at the Library.
And here it is nearly 20 years later, and the Reagan Library is making headlines. This time as the venue for the second Republican Presidential Primary Debate, for an election that is more than a year away.
Maybe that’s the connection. Media hype. And reality show star.
