Closing arguments consumed this day as the defense delivered a sweeping attack on LAPD integrity, arguing the murders required at least two assailants and that detectives planted evidence—particularly the glove via Fuhrman and blood via Vannatter. The plaintiff rebutted that the planting theory was incompatible with DNA degradation in the Bundy blood drops, Simpson's blood on the Rockingham glove, the detectives' limited knowledge, and defense experts' concessions.

• Baker argues murders took 10-15 minutes with at least two assailants, making OJ's sole guilt impossible
• Defense systematically walks jury through LAPD misconduct theory: crime scene abandoned, Fuhrman planting glove, Vannatter lying under oath
• Petrocelli highlights internal contradiction: Baker argued Simpson dripped blood at Rockingham, but Simpson testified he saw no blood anywhere
• Lambert challenges the planting theory across evidence categories using DNA degradation, Simpson's blood on the Rockingham glove, and defense experts' concessions
• Lambert says six officers testified they saw blood on the back gate on June 13 and cites Officer Riske's contemporaneous notes
