Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lakshmanan testified on Day 90 in extensive direct examination detailing Nicole Brown Simpson's fatal wounds and autopsy findings. In response to Kelberg's questions, Lakshmanan opined that Nicole's fatal neck wound was inflicted last while she lay face-down, and interpreted the defensive wounds as indicating rapid incapacitation. The testimony repeatedly documented errors in Dr. Golden's original autopsy but consistently concluded those mistakes had no bearing on cause of death.

• Judge Ito excluded two Dr. Golden 'mistake cases' (Blue and Abernathy) but allowed cross-examination on the Hall case regarding examiner thoroughness.
• Dr. Lakshmanan testified that Nicole's fatal neck stab wound was inflicted last while she lay face-down with hyperextended neck.
• Forensic analysis of defensive wounds on hands and scalp established that Nicole was rapidly incapacitated by her attacker.
• Lakshmanan documented multiple errors in Dr. Golden's original autopsy (missing brain contusion, measurement discrepancies) but found none affected cause of death conclusions.
• Court issued courtroom decorum warnings after discovering audience members eating and engaged in other misconduct during emotionally sensitive autopsy testimony.
