Day 17 — Sunday, February 12, 1995

Jury embarks on daylong tour of four critical case locations
Judge Lance A. Ito • Criminal Trial • 8 proceedings • 156 utterances
procedural

The trial paused for a full day of jury scene viewing, with jurors touring four key locations: Ronald Goldman's apartment, the Mezzaluna restaurant, the Bundy crime scene, and OJ Simpson's Rockingham estate. Extensive pre-tour logistics were debated, with the prosecution denied its request to place body-location markers at Bundy and media barred from the property. Significant evidence-handling issues emerged at Rockingham where photographs had been altered and fires lit, prompting the judge to order their removal and repeatedly admonish jurors to disregard photographs.

  • Jury conducted full scene view tour of Goldman apartment, Mezzaluna restaurant, Bundy crime scene, and Simpson's Rockingham estate
  • Media completely barred from Bundy property at request of both Brown and Simpson families
  • Judge denied prosecution's request to mark body locations at Bundy crime scene
  • Multiple photographs found swapped and fireplaces lit at Rockingham in violation of court instructions
  • Judge issued multiple curative instructions to jury about disregarding photographs despite prior admonitions
