tense

F. Lee Bailey launched an aggressive cross-examination of Detective Fuhrman, questioning witness coaching by a DA-connected psychiatrist and implying racial slur code-phrases in radio communications. While Spangler's subsequent testimony corroborated Fuhrman's movements at Bundy and the single-glove observation, Detective Vannatter then took the stand to meticulously detail the prosecution's justification for the warrantless entry to Rockingham, describing exigent circumstances and observations of the white Bronco with apparent blood on the door handle. Videotape evidence and physical descriptions of crime scenes filled the day's proceedings.
