Closing arguments consumed this day as the defense delivered a sweeping attack on LAPD integrity, arguing the murders required two assailants and that detectives planted evidence—particularly the glove via Fuhrman and blood via Vannatter. The plaintiff rebutted with systematic dismantling of the planting conspiracy, using DNA science (degradation, EDTA absence), logical impossibilities (Simpson's own blood on the glove), and defense experts' own concessions to prove evidence authenticity.

• 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 methodically dismantles planting theory across all evidence categories using DNA degradation, statistical impossibility, and defense experts' own concessions
• Plaintiff argues that six independent officers documented back gate blood the night of murders, making coordinated planting impossible
