The defense launched a comprehensive closing argument led by Robert Blasier, systematically attacking the plaintiff's physical and DNA evidence, challenging LAPD procedures, and highlighting inconsistencies in witness testimony about a 'missing blood' vial. Defense attorney Leonard concluded by attacking the credibility of paid expert witnesses. The case was extended to Monday as closing arguments ran longer than initially scheduled.
