The defense presented evidence of Simpson's severe physical limitations during a May 1994 fitness video, while Darden elicited that Simpson completed the shoot and performed several exercises. The prosecution aggressively challenged John Meraz's credibility by confronting him over taking receipts from the Bronco, his statements to supervisors, his lack of glasses, and photographs showing blood and fingerprint dust. Clark argued that Meraz's pending wrongful termination suit and Cochran's lack of interest in pursuing charges showed bias; on redirect, Cochran emphasized that Meraz returned the papers, continued to say he saw no blood, and obtained his lawyers independently of the defense. Willie Ford testified that he saw no socks at the foot of Simpson's bed when he videotaped the bedroom at about 4:13 PM on June 13, testimony the defense used to suggest that the socks were placed there later.
