tense Plaintiffs mounted an intensive defense of photographic evidence showing OJ Simpson in Bruno Magli shoes through expert testimony systematically rebutting defense photo expert Groden's claimed anomalies. Simultaneously, LAPD criminalists testified about blood evidence collection from the Bronco and Bundy glove. A pivotal moment: Dennis Fung recanted his prior testimony about a glove defect, characterizing it as debris instead. Defense aggressively challenged evidence authenticity and chain of custody procedures throughout, introducing planting theories for blood evidence.
- Photography expert Richards testified white spot on Bundy glove photograph is debris, contradicting earlier dispute over whether it was a hole
- Defense attacked FBI photographer's limited experience with photograph authentication cases (fewer than 3 prior cases)
- Gary Matheson testified about blood collections from Bronco and serology results on Bundy glove
- Dennis Fung dramatically recanted his prior week's testimony about glove damage, now characterizing the mark as debris
- Plaintiffs' expert Dr. Fox conducted cutting experiments demonstrating blood particles could naturally fall onto inner sock surfaces during laboratory cutting of the sock
- On cross, Baker argued that if EDTA presence and blood spheres bonded to fibers were assumed, blood planting would be the logical explanation
