Mr. Lambert concludes his direct examination of Mr. Sims by eliciting DNA results from the Rockingham glove. Sims confirmed an RFLP match to Ron Goldman on item G3 at odds of one in 1.2 billion to one in 41 billion, then walked through Exhibit 319 showing the glove's blood collection sites. Lambert's closing question — suggesting the glove stains were in the location one would touch while removing the glove — was sustained as speculation.
# 1 (Exhibit 320 is displayed by counsel.) # 2 Q: (BY MR. LAMBERT) Getting back a second, Mr. Sims, to the Rockingham glove board, I think I missed something there, on this item G3.
Yes, G3
You were able to obtain an RFLP result on that item, sir?
# 3 A: Yes, I did an RFLP result on that -- RFLP analysis on that particular sample, and obtained an eight-probe match for Mr. Goldman.
# 4 Q: Could you give us the frequency for the RFLP result for Mr. Goldman?
# 5 A: Yes.
That was one in 1.2 billion to one in 41 billion.
KEY QUOTE # 6 Q: Is that a significant RFLP result?
# 8 Q: Would you describe that as a rare occurrence?
# 10 Q: Okay.
Now, let me show you Exhibit No. 319, entitled Rockingham Glove Blood Results.
# 11 (The instrument herein referred to as Chart entitled Rockingham Glove Blood Results was marked for identification as Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 319.) # 12 Q: (BY MR. LAMBERT) Would you describe what this exhibit depicts, sir?
# 13 A: Yes. That exhibit depicts the -- the right-hand glove that was analyzed in our laboratory.
# 14 JUROR: We can't see.
# 15 MR. LAMBERT: If people can't see, let me take this one down and put this on the higher one.
# 16 (Counsel adjusts exhibit.) # 18 Q: (BY MR. LAMBERT) Okay. Please continue.
# 19 A: Yes, that item depicts the right-hand glove that was analyzed in our laboratory. I took those photographs myself. And then the various notations explained where the approximate locations are for the collection sites for the various blood stains that were removed from the glove.
# 20 Q: The ones that are listed on the other board sitting back in the corner or over there?
# 22 Q: The sites where you found the DNA types that were consistent with Mr. Simpson are on G number 10, G13 and G11?
# 23 A: That's correct. That was the D1S80 results by Renee Montgomery.
# 24 Q: These are all sort of towards the bottom portion of the glove?
# 25 A: Yes. They tend to focus around the wrist notch area on the palm surface.
KEY QUOTE # 26 Q: The place you might touch the glove as you were taking it off, sir?
KEY QUOTE # 27 MR. BLASIER: Objection. Calls for speculation.
# 28 THE COURT: Sustained.
# 29 MR. LAMBERT: I have no further questions.
