Bruno Magli Photos Surface in Rebuttal as Credibility Battles Intensify
Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki • Civil Trial • 17 proceedings • 2458 utterances
tense

Plaintiffs' rebuttal case begins with photographs allegedly showing O.J. Simpson in Bruno Magli shoes from 1993, but the photographer's credibility is severely attacked for financial motives and timeline inconsistencies. Forensic expert Gerald Richards systematically rebuts defense expert Groden's photo alteration claims through microscopic analysis and precise measurement. The defense rests after testimony questioning police procedures and property access, setting the stage for the expert credibility battle that dominates the day.
