FILE - In this Feb. 12, 1995, file photo, Judge Lance Ito gives instructions to the jury before all parties in the O.J. Simpson double murder trial depart on a tour of four prominent Brentwood sites in Los Angeles. Ito, who retired in 2015, presided over approximately 500 trials after the one that made him such a household name that "The Tonight Show" briefly featured a comedy segment called "The Dancing Itos," in which Ito lookalikes in judicial robes performed. After the Simpson trial he had to remove his name plate from his courtroom door because people kept stealing it. Ito has never discussed the trial, citing judicial ethics.
