devastating Barry Scheck conducted a devastating, methodical cross-examination of LAPD criminalist Dennis Fung, systematically exposing critical failures in evidence handling at both Bundy and Rockingham crime scenes. Fung admitted that lab procedures relied on 'oral tradition' rather than written protocols, and he conceded to numerous procedural gaps including an entry-level criminalist partner, missing protective measures at the Bronco, uncollected blood evidence, and a blanket from the Simpson residence placed directly in the active crime scene—creating secondary transfer contamination risks. Video footage shown outside the jury's presence suggested the critical Bundy glove had been repositioned before collection.
- Fung admits lab procedures communicated through 'oral tradition' rather than written protocols
- Fung testified that Andrea Mazzola was entry-level and just starting out, and agreed that working with her created a greater risk of mistakes
- Blanket from Nicole Brown Simpson's home placed over her body at the Bundy crime scene and left uncollected, creating a possible secondary-transfer source
- Blood on Nicole's back never collected because body was turned over before Fung's arrival
- Glove from Rockingham brought into active Bundy crime scene—acknowledged as contamination risk
- Fung expressed concern about Ron Goldman's body being removed before evidence collection but said he did not know all factors behind Detective Lange's decision
- Photographs show Bundy glove appears repositioned between pre-arrival and post-arrival images
- Scheck contended that video footage showed a glove on the Bundy walkway near the blanket during earlier walkthroughs, before Fung collected it
