tense The trial day was dominated by intense cross-examination of FBI footwear expert William Bodziak regarding Bruno Magli shoe print evidence. Defense attorney Philip Baker aggressively challenged Bodziak's methodology, particularly the comparison photographs and the plaintiff's failure to provide crime scene materials. Multiple exhibits related to shoe evidence were admitted, and Baker extracted critical concessions about the limitations of Bodziak's analysis. The day opened with a failed defense motion for a scheduling break before Simpson's testimony.
- Judge denied defense motion for trial break and firmly set Simpson's testimony to begin the following morning
- Approximately 35 exhibits admitted relating to shoe evidence, Bruno Magli comparisons, and crime scene materials
- Baker demonstrated that Bodziak's comparison photos used drastically different camera heights (2-3 inches vs. 5 feet) and distances (3 feet vs. 75 feet) from the original Scull photograph
- Bodziak testified all identifiable bloody footprints at crime scene were consistent with size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, with no evidence of a second person leaving such prints
- Defense extracted concessions that Bodziak cannot state to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty that shoes in photographs are size 12
- Baker highlighted LAPD's failure to provide Bodziak with requested soil impressions and multiple crime scene photographs
