procedural Day 94 centered on extended direct testimony from Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran, who documented Ron Goldman's fatal injuries through photographs and diagrams while repeatedly identifying omissions and errors in Dr. Golden's original autopsy. Lakshmanan generally maintained that those deficiencies did not affect the overall findings. Kelberg later played video of Lakshmanan's prior public defense of the coroner's office and elicited that he no longer believed the office had done a 'very good job' on the Simpson/Goldman autopsies. The defense also challenged the prosecution's proposed use of likelihood ratios through DNA expert Dr. Weir, and Judge Ito set a Friday deadline for the prosecution to declare its position.
