The defense continued its Chicago alibi strategy with multiple flight and airport witnesses establishing the precise timeline and sequence of Simpson's departure and arrival. However, critical contradictions emerged regarding Simpson's physical condition—some witnesses testified they saw no cuts or blood, while others testified to a bandaged, bleeding finger at O'Hare. The prosecution vigorously cross-examined each witness, attacking their credibility through prior inconsistent statements, suggesting pre-testimony coaching, and questioning their baseline for Simpson's normal behavior.
