LAS VEGAS (AP) _ Celebrity crime writer Dominick Dunne was greeted by O.J. Simpson as he returned to a Las Vegas courtroom Tuesday to cover the former football star's armed robbery-kidnapping trial.

"Mr. Dunne, nice to see you back," Simpson said as the 82-year-old Dunne and his son, Griffin Dunne, arrived in the courthouse hallway minutes before testimony resumed.

Dunne shook Simpson's hand before turning to accept well wishes from the bailiff in the courtroom, Arthur Sewell.

The Vanity Fair magazine writer has spent decades covering society and celebrity trials, including Simpson's acquittal in 1995 of the slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Dunne, who has been fighting bladder cancer, left the courtroom Monday after complaining of severe pain and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Dunne said he had been diagnosed with an infection.

He said Tuesday he felt better.

  • I look forward to reading Mr. Dunne's article in Vanity Fair. He is always well versed in his subject matter and uses insights from his own family tragedy.

    I am so sorry to hear that he has cancer. My own husband is recovering from cancer surgery...

  • Mr. Dunne, I hope you feel better soon and please know I'll pray for you as you fight cancer. We NEED reporters like you to dig out the dirt from the corrupt court system that allowed a known double murderer to get away with it. I'm glad OJ Simpson...
