procedural Forensic pathology testimony dominated the day as Dr. Lakshmanan systematically documented Ron Goldman's injuries through detailed autopsy photographs, testifying that various sharp force wounds were consistent with a single-edged knife approximately 6 inches long. The prosecution announced it would not call Dr. Golden as a witness, eliminating 2-3 days of testimony and streamlining the remaining case. A discovery compliance hearing was scheduled for June 23rd after Lewis pressed for faster action, while the judge expressed hope the prosecution case might wrap up by month's end.
