Detective Tom Lange endured a systematic cross-examination by Johnnie Cochran that exposed multiple gaps in police evidence handling—blood on a dog never tested, a glove moved before proper photographing, duplicate exhibit numbers, and chain-of-custody concerns with eyeglasses. The day erupted into courtroom chaos when prosecutor Christopher Darden was cited for contempt of court after ignoring judicial admonitions, forcing him to apologize. The cumulative effect was a devastating portrait of sloppy LAPD investigation procedures that threatened the prosecution's case.
