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. Charles Cale testified that the Bronco was absent from the east side of Rockingham at 9:30-9:45 PM on June 12 and present north of the gate the next morning, while an early polygraph jury instruction dispute prompted a mistrial motion.

• 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 the east side of Rockingham at 9:30-9:45 PM on June 12, present next morning at 7 AM
• Jackie Cooper and Donna Estes describe Simpson as upset and repeatedly discussing Nicole; Craig Baumgarten describes an unusually angry golf-course argument but says Simpson hoped for a future reconciliation, while defense elicits that Simpson's later demeanor was normal and sad when Nicole arose
• Defense challenges India Allen's delayed disclosure, Albert Aguilera's date inconsistencies and viewing distance, and Jackie Cooper's failure to mention the asserted Nicole conversations in his LAPD interview
