Plaintiffs established a key timeline through Dr. Huizenga's testimony that Simpson had fresh hand injuries consistent with the June 12, 1994 murders. Detective Berris's deposition detailed a Chicago hotel room investigation with observed blood spots but minimal forensic rigor. The afternoon shifted to contentious 402 admissibility hearings on two expert witnesses—Dr. Dietz (forensic psychiatry/motive) and Dr. Dutton (spousal homicide profile)—with the judge taking both matters under submission.

• Dr. Huizenga confirmed Simpson's hand injuries were fresh (5-7 days old), placing origin at June 12, 1994 murders
• Detective Berris's deposition documented blood spots in Simpson's Chicago hotel room with no chemical testing
• Heated 402 hearing on Dr. Park Dietz's forensic psychiatry testimony about Simpson's motive
• Contentious 402 hearing on Dr. Donald Dutton's spousal homicide profile, with judge expressing confusion about scope
• Defendants challenged both psychological experts as invading jury's province through inadmissible profiling
• Dispute over autopsy photograph admissibility deferred to following morning
