The defense systematically dismantled the plaintiff's evidence collection procedures through a methodical cross-examination of LAPD criminalist Dennis Fung, exposing documentation gaps, blank columns, erasures, and delegation to untrained staff. Plaintiff introduced new witness Susan Brockbank to testify about hair and trace evidence collection, but the defense immediately challenged contamination risks from evidence stored together. Bloomingdale's glove purchase documents were admitted, and the day ended early due to Election Day.
