Day 93 — Monday, June 12, 1995

Autopsy testimony details Goldman's wounds; prosecution drops Golden witness
Judge Lance A. Ito • Criminal Trial • 7 proceedings • 1744 utterances
procedural

Forensic pathology testimony dominated the day as Dr. Lakshmanan systematically documented Ron Goldman's twelve injuries through detailed autopsy photographs, characterizing the murder weapon as a single-edged knife approximately 6 inches long. The prosecution strategically 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 following defense insistence on faster action, while the judge expressed optimism the prosecution might close by month's end.
