Shapiro challenged Dr. Lakshmanan over his autopsy review and evidence-collection gaps, while Kelberg's redirect addressed time-of-death calculations, stomach contents, the single-killer theory, and defensive wounds. The afternoon shifted to glove evidence: Vemich and Rubin linked the recovered gloves to an Aris Isotoner style sold exclusively by Bloomingdale's, while Cochran challenged the receipt details and limits of the purchase proof. Simpson then tried on the evidence gloves before the jury and said they were too small; Rubin testified that Simpson's hands should fit them, and Cochran established that leather sizing can vary.

• Shapiro exposed major procedural gaps in the autopsy, including missing microscopic slides and no sexual assault kit
• Cochran discovered style number mismatch in Nicole Brown's Bloomingdales receipt (70268 vs. 70263)
• A defense-requested reexamination brought stored brain tissue out for review and surfaced the brain contusion
• OJ Simpson tried on the murder gloves before the jury, appearing to demonstrate they didn't fit properly
• Aris Isotoner executive Rubin testified the gloves should fit Simpson's hands, directly contradicting Simpson's demonstration
• Evidence of Dr. Golden's prior autopsy errors in capital cases was blocked from jury
