procedural The prosecution methodically constructed a detailed timeline of the murder night using a series of neighbor witnesses who encountered Nicole Brown Simpson's Akita dog as it wandered the Brentwood streets. The dog, found around 10:55 PM with fresh blood on all four paws and no visible wound, became the prosecution's central piece of timeline evidence. Multiple neighbors testified to hearing the dog bark between 10:15 PM and just before midnight, when the Akita led Sukru Boztepe directly to Nicole's body. The day ended with a heated sidebar clash over media conduct, with Clark accusing Shapiro of spreading false claims about witness intimidation.
