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. The injury observations concerned successive occasions: Bingham did not think he saw cuts and saw no blood on the June 12 outbound flight, Valerie reported no cuts on that flight, and Merrill reported no cuts during the June 13 morning pickup. Kilduff described a bandaged, bleeding finger later at O'Hare, and Partridge described a cut wrapped in a paper towel on the return flight. Those accounts did not by themselves establish a conflict or when an injury occurred. The prosecution vigorously cross-examined the witnesses, challenging their credibility through omissions or disputes in prior accounts, highlighting Valerie's meeting with defense counsel the previous evening, and questioning their baseline for Simpson's normal behavior.
