F. Lee Bailey's cross-examination of Detective Mark Fuhrman dominated the testimony, challenging his credibility through questions about whether he had used a racial slur in the past ten years, eight preparation meetings with prosecutors, memory gaps, and investigative decisions. Fuhrman categorically denied using the slur. Judge Ito allowed Bailey's narrow question about when the prosecution communicated its testimony plan, but barred use of the Alwyn Martin incident after a contradictory police report and barred fundraising-letter questioning because any financial interest was too remote.

• 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 Ito rules any financial interest from the Fuhrman fundraising letter too remote to be relevant and bars further cross-examination on it.
• Marcia Clark plays Dateline videotape to counter Bailey's claims about misrepresentation of witness contact.
• Judge Ito tells the jury that legal arguments consumed the entire court day without testimony and dismisses them early until the following morning.
