A procedurally heavy day focused on discovery compliance and the defense's unsuccessful motion to obtain LAPD Internal Affairs documents about a DNA leak. Judge Ito denied the defense motion, ruling that the totality of the record did not support materiality and reasoning that the incorrect leaked information itself suggested the source lacked actual access to the results or investigation. Meanwhile, the prosecution sought notes and exhibits for defense experts Dr. Baden and Dr. Wolf under the court's prior order, and warned that it would move to preclude Dr. Baden if the required materials were not produced. The court recessed early pending a coroner's witness availability the next morning.
