Day 19 — Wednesday, November 20, 1996

Limo driver places dark figure at Rockingham; FBI links Simpson to rare Bruno Magli shoes
Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki • Civil Trial • 18 proceedings • 2345 utterances
tense

The court heard a motion regarding a privileged tape, then spent most of the day examining limousine driver Allan Park's detailed testimony about his arrival at Simpson's home on the night of the murders—Park's account of a dark-clothed figure entering the house and Simpson's insistence on handling a mysterious bag himself clashed sharply with defense cross-examination. The day concluded with FBI footwear expert William Bodziak testifying that bloody shoe prints at the crime scene matched rare Bruno Magli Lorenzo shoes—a design Bodziak identified Simpson wearing in a 1993 photograph.

  • Judge denied motion to compel tape from Lawrence Schiller, ruling it falls within journalist/author privilege
  • Allan Park testified he arrived at Rockingham around 10:25 PM and saw a dark-clothed figure emerge from behind the house
  • Park testified OJ insisted on personally retrieving a small dark bag from behind his car before the drive to LAX
  • Park testified he heard no Bronco sounds and did not see the vehicle upon arrival at Rockingham
  • Baker's cross-examination challenged Park's observations and ability to accurately identify the figure he saw
  • FBI expert William Bodziak testified bloody shoe prints at Bundy were made by Bruno Magli Lorenzo shoes, European size 46 (U.S. 12)
  • Bodziak testified a September 1993 football game photo shows Simpson wearing the same rare Bruno Magli design, with 18 matching features identified
