>If Juditha knew the exact location of her glasses the whole time, why did she make Crawford search the entire restaurant for them? And if Juditha had discovered that her glasses were missing either shortly before leaving the restaurant in the family car, as Juditha herself claimed, or shortly after leaving the restaurant, as her daughter Denise claimed, why was no effort made to retrieve the glasses while the family were still there at the restaurant, or close enough to return and collect them? The answer to both questions is simple:>Because the eyeglasses were never lost.
>Depositions and interviews with both the Brown family and Nicole's acquaintances verified that her parents and sisters rarely traveled to Los Angeles to see her and the children. Yet, in an unprecedented turnout right before her murder, almost the entire family—including parents, sisters, and nephews—gathered around a table at Mezzaluna Trattoria. Witnesses at the restaurant confirmed this rare assembly.>Prior to presenting the bill, waitress Tia Gavin inquired if they would like dessert, to which an adult in the party responded that they planned to take the children out for ice cream instead.>Although the group departed the restaurant together between 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m., no members of the Brown family—including her young nephews, Aaron and Sean Brown—accompanied Nicole and her children across the street for ice cream. Taking the time to order and enjoy ice cream apparently did not align with the Browns' schedule for the evening.
