The court learned that a juror previously dismissed for misconduct had contacted a current juror, prompting Judge Ito to interview each sitting juror individually. F. Lee Bailey's multi-part cross-examination of FBI hair and fiber expert Douglas Deedrick challenged his note-taking, evidence-handling assumptions, credentials, testing choices, and presentation of microscopic comparisons. Bailey elicited that no hairs consistent with O.J. Simpson were found on either glove, while Deedrick later said cross-examination had not changed his opinions. After agreed stipulations were read into the record, the prosecution rested its case, and the judge dismissed the jury until Monday while he addressed exhibits and motions.
