Sims Presents Additional DNA Results; Poser Testifies About Shoe Sales
Judge Lance A. Ito • Criminal Trial • 19 proceedings • 762 lines
procedural

Bloomingdale's shoe salesman Sam Poser testified that Simpson wore size 12 and that the store carried the Bruno Magli Lorenzo boot, while acknowledging that he did not recall selling Simpson that style and could not link a specific purchase to him. Gary Sims presented additional DNA results from two Bronco stains, a sock stain, and rear-gate stain 117, all consistent with Simpson's profile. Scheck questioned Sims about concentration and bacterial-degradation comparisons in the rear-gate samples; Harmon elicited that item 117 also showed natural degradation consistent with time and environmental exposure.

  • Sam Poser testified that Simpson purchased shoes from Bloomingdale's multiple times but no receipt linked him to the specific Bruno Magli Lorenzo boot.
  • F. Lee Bailey's cross-examination emphasized that Poser did not recall selling Simpson the Lorenzo style and could not say whether the retrieved purchase records included that shoe.
  • Gary Sims presented results from two Bronco blood stains, a sock stain, and rear gate stain item 117, all consistent with Simpson's DNA profile; the sock and rear-gate RFLP results yielded estimates of one in 57 billion African Americans, one in 150 billion Caucasians, and one in 100 billion Hispanics.
  • Scheck elicited that rear-gate sample 117 had up to 270 times as much DNA as Bundy sample 49 and bands consistent with no substantial bacterial contamination; on redirect, Sims said the stain showed natural degradation consistent with time and environmental exposure.
  • Judge Ito accommodated a juror's family graduation with early adjournment at 3 p.m.
