The prosecution spent most of the day presenting Detective Tom Lange's direct examination about Bundy and Rockingham, including the investigation timeline and physical evidence. Lange testified that on July 3 he observed blood at the rear gate and had Dennis Fung take samples; Lange's statement that Fung said he had not checked the gate was stricken, and the jury was instructed to disregard it. The defense highlighted procedural shortcomings including the late arrival of the coroner, absence of a footprint specialist, and cramped crime scene dimensions to challenge the lone-attacker theory. Judge Ito ordered a Friday conditional examination of Rosa Lopez after disputed accounts of whether she might leave Los Angeles; Bailey said she could place OJ's Bronco at Rockingham around 10:15pm.
