Detective Lange continued his direct examination, walking through the physical evidence trail at the Bundy crime scene: Ron Goldman's keys on the ground suggesting surprise, bloody shoeprints tracking westerly, blood drops tailing in the same direction indicating the killer's path of exit, and blood evidence at the rear gate. A significant revelation emerged: Lange had specifically directed criminalist Dennis Fung to collect blood from the rear gate on June 13, but when Lange returned on July 3, he discovered Fung had not done so, and directed collection at that time.

# 84 Q: AND WHEN WAS THAT?

# 86 Q: AFTER WHICH DID YOU SEE ANY MORE OF THEM?
# 88 Q: ALL RIGHT. NOW, TO THE LEFT OF -- I THINK YOU INDICATED EARLIER IN YOUR TESTIMONY THAT YOU SAW BLOOD DROPS TO THE LEFT OF THOSE SHOEPRINTS?

# 108 A: YES. IT IS THE ONE I JUST DESCRIBED.
# 109 Q: DOES IT APPEAR TO YOU THAT THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH BETWEEN THE BLOODY SHOEPRINT AND THE BLOOD DROP NOTED AS PHOTO I.D. NO. 112?
# 110 MR. COCHRAN: THE PICTURES SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
# 111 THE COURT: KIND OF A VAGUE QUESTION.
# 112 MS. CLARK: IT IS. I'M SORRY, YOUR HONOR. LET ME ASK ANOTHER ONE.
# 113 Q: DOES THIS PHOTOGRAPH DEPICT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE SHOEPRINT AND THE BLOOD DROP IDENTIFIED AS PHOTO I.D. 112 IN THE SAME MANNER YOU RECALL SEEING IT WHEN YOU WERE AT THE SCENE ON JUNE 13?
# 115 MR. COCHRAN: THAT IS ALSO VAGUE.

# 127 Q: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "TAIL"?
# 128 A: BY TAILING, IF YOU WOULD VIEW A BLOOD DROPLET UP CLOSELY, THE TENTACLES -- PERHAPS IF IT TENTACLES IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION, TENTACLES OUT, IT WOULD INDICATE THAT WHEN THE --
# 129 MR. COCHRAN: I THINK WITHOUT A PROPER FOUNDATION I'M NOT SURE HE CAN TELL US ABOUT TENTACLE OF BLOOD DROPS.
# 130 THE COURT: SUSTAINED.
# 131 Q: BY MS. CLARK: HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY TRAINING IN BLOOD SPATTER ANALYSIS, SIR?
# 133 Q: CAN YOU TELL WAS THAT IS?
# 134 A: BLOOD SPATTER ANALYSIS?
# 136 A: IT IS A STUDY OF BLOOD SPATTERS, BASICALLY HOW BLOOD APPEARS WHEN IT STRIKES DIFFERENT SURFACES FROM DIFFERENT DISTANCES OR AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS.
# 137 Q: AND WHERE DID YOU RECEIVE THAT TRAINING?
# 138 A: I RECEIVED TRAINING IN THE POLICE ACADEMY AND COLLEGE AND INVESTIGATOR'S SCHOOL, HOMICIDE SCHOOL. I RECEIVED INFORMAL TRAINING FROM OTHER EXPERTS IN THE FIELD. I HAVE REVIEWED TEXTS ON THE SUBJECT AND HAVE VIEWED BLOOD SPATTERS AT MANY CRIME SCENES OVER THE YEARS.
# 139 Q: AND HAVE YOU EVER TESTIFIED CONCERNING YOUR OBSERVATIONS OF BLOOD SPATTERS IN THE CASES THAT YOU HAVE HANDLED?
# 141 Q: ON HOW MANY OCCASIONS?
# 142 A: GOSH, I WOULD HAVE NO IDEA; MAYBE A HUNDRED.
# 143 Q: AND WITH RESPECT TO THESE PARTICULAR BLOOD DROPS THEN, SIR, YOU MADE AN OBSERVATION CONCERNING THEIR ANGLE? YOU SAID TAILING?
# 144 A: TAILING. A BLOOD DROPLET WILL TAIL OR IT WILL APPEAR THAT THERE ARE TENTACLES COMING OUT FROM IT, DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE THAT IT STRIKES THE TARGET. IF, AS AN EXAMPLE, WE HAD A BLOOD SPOT THAT TENTACLED OR TAILED OUT, AS IN THIS CASE, IN WHAT I BELIEVE IS A WESTERLY DIRECTION, IT WOULD INDICATE THAT THE SOURCE WAS GOING IN A WESTERLY DIRECTION AT THE TIME THAT BLOOD DROPLET STRUCK THE TARGET.
# 145 Q: OKAY. AND THE SHOEPRINTS APPEARED TO BE GOING IN WHAT DIRECTION?
# 146 A: A WESTERLY DIRECTION.
# 147 Q: HOW MANY BLOOD DROPS WERE THERE BETWEEN THE BODIES OF THE VICTIMS -- BLOOD DROPS GOING IN THAT WESTERLY DIRECTION DID YOU FIND BETWEEN THE BODIES OF THE VICTIMS AND THE REAR ALLEY?
# 148 A: THERE WERE FIVE, THE LAST ONE BEING IN THE CARPORT AREA.

# 173 Q: AND WHEN YOU DID SO, DID YOU MAKE SOME OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE REAR GATE AREA THAT YOU HAVE JUST SEEN -- THE AREA THAT YOU HAVE JUST SEEN IN THESE PAST SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS?
# 175 Q: WHAT OBSERVATION OF THAT --
# 176 MR. COCHRAN: OBJECT WITHOUT A FURTHER FOUNDATION. WHEN DID HE COME BACK? WAS IT THREE WEEKS LATER? WHEN WAS IT?
# 177 THE COURT: SUSTAINED.
# 178 Q: BY MS. CLARK: YES. TELL US WHAT DATE WAS IT THAT YOU RETURNED?
# 180 Q: AND WHAT OBSERVATION DID YOU MAKE?
# 181 A: I OBSERVED THE SAME THING THAT I OBSERVED BACK ON JUNE 13.
# 183 A: THE BLOOD SMEAR TRANSFER ON THE UPPER RUNG, THE BLOOD ON THE LOWER RUNG AND THIS PARTICULAR ITEM ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GATE.
# 186 Q: AND WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU SAW THAT?
# 187 A: I INQUIRED OF THE CRIMINALIST --
# 188 MR. COCHRAN: JUST A MOMENT. I OBJECT AS TO -- AS TO WHAT HE DID. DID HE TELL US -- I WILL WAIT UNTIL HE FINISHES THE ANSWER.
# 189 THE COURT: THANK YOU.
# 190 DET. TOM LANGE: I INQUIRED OF THE CRIMINALIST IF HE HAD CHECKED THE GATE AS I HAD REQUESTED ON JUNE 13TH. HE STATED HE HAD NOT.
KEY QUOTE # 191 MR. COCHRAN: JUST A MOMENT. I OBJECT TO WHAT THE CRIMINALIST SAID. THAT IS HEARSAY.
# 192 THE COURT: SUSTAINED. THE ANSWER IS STRICKEN. THE JURY IS TO DISREGARD.
# 193 Q: BY MS. CLARK: AND WHEN YOU ASKED THE CRIMINALIST WHETHER HE COLLECTED THE BLOOD ON THE REAR GATE AS YOU REQUESTED, HE MADE A RESPONSE TO YOU?
# 195 Q: AND BASED ON WHAT HE TOLD YOU, WHAT DID YOU DO?
# 196 MR. COCHRAN: WELL, OBJECT, YOUR HONOR. THAT IS CALLING FOR HEARSAY.
# 197 THE COURT: OVERRULED.
# 198 DET. TOM LANGE: I HAD HIM AT THAT TIME TAKE SAMPLES FROM THE GATE, CHECK THE ENTIRE GATE.
# 199 Q: BY MS. CLARK: AND THE GATE WAS THEN PHOTOGRAPHED?
# 201 Q: NOW, WERE THERE ANY PRINT PEOPLE AT THE SCENE ON JUNE 13, SIR?
# 203 Q: WHEN DID THEY FIRST BEGIN TO ARRIVE, IF YOU KNOW?
# 204 A: I BELIEVE THE FIRST ONE ARRIVED PRIOR TO 4:00 A.M.
# 205 Q: BEFORE YOU GOT THERE?
# 207 Q: AND DID YOU DIRECT -- WHEN YOU GOT THERE AT APPROXIMATELY 4:30 A.M., DID YOU HAVE ANY CONVERSATION WITH THAT PRINT SPECIALIST?
# 208 A: NOT AT THAT TIME, I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
# 209 Q: AFTER YOU RETURNED TO BUNDY AT 6:45 A.M., DID YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH ANY OF THE PRINT SPECIALISTS?
# 211 Q: AND WHAT DID YOU DIRECT THEM TO DO?
# 212 A: I DIRECTED THE PRINT PEOPLE TO PRINT THE ENTIRE OUTSIDE AREA, FENCE AREA, AROUND THE CRIME SCENE, THE RAILING ALONG THE WALKWAY, THE REAR GATE AREA, THE VEHICLES IN THE BACK, ONE IN THE GARAGE, ONE IN THE DRIVEWAY. I DIRECTED THEM TO PRINT THE FRONT DOOR OF THE RESIDENCE INSIDE AND OUT AND I DIRECTED THEM TO PRINT THE INSIDE OF THE RESIDENCE, THE MOLDINGS AROUND DOORS, ALL OF THE TELEPHONES, TELEVISION SET UPSTAIRS, ITEMS IN THE BATHROOM, THE BEDROOM. EVENTUALLY I REQUESTED THAT THEY PRINT THE KITCHEN KNIFE THAT WAS ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER, THE FIRST LEVEL ROOM -- BATHROOM NEAR THE KITCHEN, THE RAILING, THE HAND RAILING GOING FROM THE FIRST TO THE SECOND LEVEL. THAT IS BASICALLY IT.
# 213 (DISCUSSION HELD OFF THE RECORD BETWEEN THE DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS.) # 214 (DISCUSSION HELD OFF THE RECORD BETWEEN DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND DEFENSE COUNSEL.) # 215 MR. FAIRTLOUGH: YOUR HONOR, MAY THIS BE MARKED PEOPLE'S NEXT IN ORDER, PEOPLE'S 84?
# 216 THE COURT: MISS ROBERTSON, 84?
# 219 (PEO'S 84 FOR ID = PHOTOGRAPH) # 220 Q: BY MS. CLARK: ALL RIGHT, SIR. DO YOU SEE WHAT IS DEPICTED IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH -- WHO IS DEPICTED IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH?

# 222 Q: OKAY. SHE IS POINTING TO THE HANDRAIL?
# 224 Q: IS THAT ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU ASKED BE PHOTOGRAPHED -- EXCUSE ME -- DUSTED FOR PRINTS?
# 226 (DISCUSSION HELD OFF THE RECORD BETWEEN THE DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS.) # 227 MR. FAIRTLOUGH: YOUR HONOR, PEOPLE'S EXHIBIT NO. 75.
# 228 Q: BY MS. CLARK: NOW, YOU INDICATED ALSO THAT YOU SAW A KNIFE ON THE COUNTER AND YOU SAW THAT WHEN YOU FIRST WALKED INTO THE HOUSE AT YOUR FIRST VISIT TO BUNDY AT ABOUT 4:30 A.M., RIGHT?
# 230 Q: AND IS THAT THE POSITION IN WHICH YOU FOUND IT, SIR?
# 232 MR. FAIRTLOUGH: PEOPLE'S EXHIBIT NO. 76.

# 239 Q: OKAY. WELL, ARE YOU -- ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO LET PRINT PEOPLE PRINT AN ITEM IF THERE IS BLOOD ON IT?
