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 lines
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. Concerns about the scene's presentation emerged at Rockingham, where Clark alleged that wall photographs had been swapped and objected that fires had been lit contrary to prior instructions; the judge ordered one photograph removed, the fires extinguished, and instructed jurors to disregard photographs. After concern was raised about juror attention to the photographs, he resolved to re-admonish them.
