Plaintiffs presented a sustained domestic violence narrative through three historical witnesses (1983, 1986, 1989 incidents) while building Simpson's emotional motive through testimony about his distress over Nicole in the weeks before her death. The defense systematically attacked witness credibility, exposing long delays in reporting and date inconsistencies. Timeline evidence placed Simpson at Rockingham on June 12, 1994, while an early polygraph jury instruction dispute briefly threatened mistrial.

• Baker moves for mistrial over polygraph evidence in jury instruction, citing inadmissibility under Evidence Code 351.1
• India Allen testifies to witnessing Simpson slap Nicole in 1983 parking lot—first disclosure after 13-year delay and criminal trial
• Albert Aguilera describes 1986 Victoria Beach assault; cross-examination exposes date discrepancies between trial testimony and prior DA statement
• Charles Cale provides key Bronco timeline: absent from Rockingham at 9:30-9:45 PM on June 12, present next morning at 7 AM
• Jackie Cooper, Donna Estes, and Craig Baumgarten depict Simpson emotionally dependent on Nicole and unusually angry in weeks/hours before murders
• Defense emphasizes that domestic violence witnesses never reported incidents during criminal trial despite national media attention
