tense

Prosecutor Brian Kelberg cross-examined defense medical expert Dr. Robert Huizenga about whether Simpson's arthritis and hand injuries limited his physical capacity. Kelberg questioned Huizenga about letters to defense attorneys, differences in his diagrams and testimony, and exercise videos from May 1994. Huizenga agreed with several of Kelberg's hypotheticals about Simpson's strength and possible injury mechanisms. Multiple evidentiary disputes arose over foundation and scope.

  • Huizenga agreed that Simpson had sufficient hand strength for the actions described in Kelberg's hypothetical.
  • Kelberg questioned Huizenga about letters he sent defense attorneys discussing how his medical findings might be used in the case.
  • Kelberg used a physical demonstration while asking whether Simpson's hand injuries could be consistent with restraining Goldman.
  • Exercise videos from May 1994 were introduced during questions about Simpson's physical capabilities and claimed arthritis limitations.
  • Motion hearing scheduled for Friday on nurse Thano Peratis's unavailability due to heart surgery
  • Multiple sidebars over photograph evidence, video foundation, and scope of questioning
  • Kelberg questioned differences in Huizenga's hand-drawn diagrams, including finger placement and labeling.
  • Day adjourned early due to juror dentist appointment
