F. Lee Bailey's cross-examination of Detective Mark Fuhrman dominated the day, attacking his credibility on multiple fronts: asking directly whether Fuhrman had ever used a racial slur (which Fuhrman categorically denied under oath), exposing his eight pre-testimony coaching sessions with prosecutors, and pressing him on suspicious gaps and implausibilities in his investigation. Judge Ito largely sustained the defense's challenges while blocking certain prosecution defenses through privilege rulings, and court adjourned early, effectively ending the day's testimony.

• F. Lee Bailey asks Detective Fuhrman directly whether he has used a racial slur in the past ten years; Fuhrman categorically denies it under oath.
• Bailey establishes Fuhrman underwent eight preparatory meetings with prosecutors before testifying, with unclear timing of public disclosure.
• Judge Ito blocks defense use of the Alwyn Martin carjacking incident after prosecution produces contradictory police report.
• Bailey presses Fuhrman on failure to interview Rosa Lopez and his implausible claim that Kato Kaelin 'directed' him to search the south border.
• Judge sustains attorney-client privilege regarding Fuhrman's fundraising letter, preventing cross-examination on financial bias.
• Marcia Clark plays Dateline videotape to counter Bailey's claims about misrepresentation of witness contact.
• Court adjourns early due to scheduled afternoon activity, halting testimony after morning sessions.
