tense Day 47 was dominated by systematic defense challenges to the prosecution's timeline, with extensive cross-examination of limousine driver Allan Park establishing significant gaps in his observational awareness regarding a white Bronco and other details. Judge Wong and LAX skycap James Williams provided testimony about evidence retrieval and the bags checked for Simpson's Chicago flight, while a critical new angle emerged when the trash can near Williams's work station became a focal point for potential evidence disposal. The day concluded with Barry Scheck's contentious Kelly-Frye hearing alleging prosecutorial 'forensic ambush' on DNA evidence presentation, a dispute escalated by a heated sidebar where Darden physically touched Cochran.
