Prosecution continued its methodical forensic case through detailed coroner testimony. Dr. Lakshmanan systematically presented Ron Goldman's injuries wound-by-wound, performing knife demonstrations and correlating stab wounds to autopsy documentation while addressing timeline questions and defending refinements to the original autopsy protocol. The court managed several procedural matters including a jury instruction cautioning against emotional reactions to graphic autopsy photographs, and the defense requested to skip the June 12 afternoon session (the murder anniversary).

• Dr. Lakshmanan performed knife demonstrations correlating Goldman's injuries to autopsy photographs and Dr. Golden's protocol

• Defense requested to skip June 12 afternoon session due to murder anniversary significance
• Coroner addressed biomechanics of victim movement and the one-minute timeline for inflicting all injuries
