The jury trying OJ Simpson over kidnapping and armed robbery charges will hear details about an audio recording of the alleged incident today.
Ken Marr, an audio examiner with the FBI, will give evidence about a recording of Mr Simpson storming into a Las Vegas hotel room with a group of men, two of whom were armed, and stealing between 700 and 800 items related to his sporting career on September 13th last year.
The former American football star again faces life in prison if convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon in the trial at the Clark County District Court in downtown Las Vegas, 13 years after he was cleared of murder in the "trial of the century" in Los Angeles.
Mr Simpson (61), and the other men, were recorded on a digital device hidden inside the Palace Station hotel room by Tom Riccio, the man who set up the deal between Mr Simpson and two memorabilia dealers.
Yesterday, judge Jackie Glass showed signs of becoming frustrated with lawyers on all sides in the case, shouting above competing voices in the court room to tell them to "stop, stop, stop".
The judge's reprimands continued throughout the day, with judge Glass repeatedly whistling and telling the lawyers to stop talking, focus their questions and get to the point.
She also told Mr Simpson's lawyer Yale Galanter to sit down on several occasions after he objected to the prosecutor's questions, telling him: "We cannot do it this way, sit down."
When he stood up to object a further time, she told the lawyers: "Listen, the last thing you want me to do as the judge is to start losing my temper in front of the fine ladies and gentlemen of the jury because of all of you. You have been warned.
"Can you please conduct yourselves appropriately.
"Or this is going to be a very, very unpleasant event for everybody here because I'm not going to call you up to the bar and admonish you any longer if you cannot control yourselves. You have been warned. Behave yourselves."
Mr Simpson, wearing a blue suit and tie, sat next to his defence team at the back of the court, occasionally talking to his lawyers.
The former NFL star and actor waved and smiled to a handful of onlookers outside the courthouse as he left court for the day, stopping to chat with fans and sign at least two autographs.
Mr Simpson has said he went to the hotel room to recover items which had been stolen from him, not to steal goods which did not belong to him.
He is again fighting to avoid spending the rest of his life behind bars, 13 years after he was cleared of murder in Los Angeles in the televised "trial of the century".
Mr Simpson's high-profile 1994 trial saw him cleared of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in a verdict which shocked many in the United States.
In 1996, a civil jury found Mr Simpson liable for the deaths of his ex-wife and her friend, and awarded 33.5 million US dollars in damages to the Goldmans.
Ten years later, Mr Simpson wrote a book called
If I Did It,which set out how he might have murdered his wife, had he been so inclined. But the book was withdrawn and pulped by HarperCollins shortly before being published.
In August last year, a Florida bankruptcy court gave the rights to the book to the Goldman family, who published it under the title
I Did It: Confessions of the Killer.
Both Mr Simpson and his co-defendant Clarence "CJ" Stewart, 54, deny 12 charges, including kidnapping, armed robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon.
