Police are declining comment on a report they want to question lawyer Robert

Kardashian, long-time friend of O.J. Simpson, about a bag he apparently took

from the defendant's mansion the morning after the murders.

Tape aired by the news magazine show Premier Story shows Kardashian walking

away with a bag moments after Simpson pulled up following his return from

Chicago on an American Airlines flight.

Footage of Kardashian didn't show a bag in his possession until the limo pulled

away.

Peter Brennan, the show's executive producer, said two police detectives viewed

the tape Monday and "were very, very interested in talking with Kardashian,"

Brennan said.

Simpson has pleaded innocent to the murders of his ex-wife and a friend. Also:

Prosecutors were deciding whether to press charges against Al Cowlings,

Simpson's friend who drove the Ford Bronco during a freeway chase June 17.

Cowlings is free on $250,000 bail.

Detective Tom Lange took court-ordered hair samples from Simpson in jail.

Superior Court Judge Lance Ito revoked longer visiting hours given to Simpson

by Judge Kathleen Kennedy-Powell.
