tense Prosecutor Hank Goldberg spent much of the day cross-examining defense forensic expert Dr. Henry Lee about shoeprint contamination, blood-transfer theory, crime-scene documentation, DNA, and evidence collection. Lee made concessions about possible sources of walkway prints and limitations in his documentation, including distancing himself from Defense Exhibit 1337, while maintaining that wet transfer indicated something was wrong and that collection flaws could limit reconstruction. Scheck used redirect to revisit imprint evidence, DNA reliability, drying times, wet transfers, and trace-transfer principles; later recross and redirect continued those disputes.
- Dr. Henry Lee distances himself from Defense Exhibit 1337, stating 'I did not make this board' and undermining the accuracy of the defense's shoeprint diagram
- Goldberg demonstrates that the 'parallel line imprint' Lee identified does not appear in earlier June 13 crime scene photographs, only in Lee's June 25 photo
- Lee concedes he cannot eliminate police officers, Nicole's family, or Ron Hardy as sources of the controversial Bundy walkway shoeprints
- Prosecution attempts to use testimony from the Hoeplinger case to challenge Lee's blood-transfer expectations, but Judge Ito sustains the defense objection as beyond scope
- Defense conducts two redirect examinations addressing imprint evidence, DNA reliability, drying times, wet transfers, and trace-transfer principles
- Judge Ito allows two video clips showing post-murder activity on the crime-scene walkway, subject to the prosecution producing witnesses to lay foundation
