Defense attorney Robert Blasier cross-examined LAPD criminalist Dennis Fung about documentation, representative blood sampling, Mazzola's role, evidence-log corrections, glove photographs, and conflicting recorded locations for the Rockingham socks. On redirect, Lambert addressed presumptive blood testing, precautions against false positives, record corrections, transposed measurements, and placement of the blood vial with other evidence. Susan Brockbank testified about hair and trace evidence collection and delivery of items to an FBI analyst; Blasier then questioned her about storage-related contamination risks and mold on Ron Goldman's shirt. The Brenda Vernich deposition was played, Bloomingdale's glove purchase documents were admitted, and the court adjourned early because the next witness was unavailable until the following day, with Election Day also noted.

• Blasier questioned LAPD criminalist Dennis Fung about blank documentation columns, erased item numbers, representative blood sampling, and corrections to an evidence log
• Fung testified about Andrea Mazzola's role in most of the blood swatching and much of the active evidence-collection work
• Blasier compared photographs of the Bundy glove, while the court found that video footage lacked foundation to identify an object as the glove
• Plaintiff called new witness Susan Brockbank (LAPD criminalist) to establish hair and trace evidence collection procedures
• Defense immediately attacked Brockbank's evidence handling, pressing on contamination risks from storing Bronco carpet cut-out with Rockingham glove and knit cap
• Videotaped deposition of Brenda Vernich (June 1996) was played, followed by introduction of Bloomingdale's glove purchase documents
