Day 27 — Friday, December 6, 1996

DNA Expert Dismantled; Victim Families Tell Emotional Story
Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki • Civil Trial • 33 proceedings • 2665 utterances
tense

A pivotal day that attacked the foundation of the plaintiff's DNA evidence while simultaneously advancing emotional victim testimony. Dr. Bruce Weir's DNA calculations were systematically dismantled in devastating cross-examination, revealing thousand-fold discrepancies he could not explain from his criminal trial work. Meanwhile, key witnesses established Simpson's suspicious behavior, conflicting evidence about hand injuries, and powerful emotional accounts of the victims through testimony from their mothers and Simpson's associates.

  • Dr. Weir's DNA frequency calculations contained thousand-fold discrepancies from the criminal trial that he could not explain
  • Defense methodically crossed out Weir's old numbers on a visual chart, replacing them with corrected figures far less incriminating
  • Leroy Taft contradicted his deposition by denying he saw multiple cuts on Simpson's hand at Parker Center on June 13
  • Robert Kardashian's deposition revealed Simpson made an unusual trip to LAX to retrieve golf clubs while allegedly in shock
  • Ron Goldman's mother testified to virtually no contact with her son after he moved to California with his father
  • Nicole's mother Juditha Brown described Simpson's visibly angry demeanor at a dance recital and their final 'I love you' phone call
