Day 47 — Wednesday, March 29, 1995

Park's Observations Tested; LAX Trash Can Theory Emerges
Judge Lance A. Ito • Criminal Trial • 41 proceedings • 2613 lines
tense

Day 47 featured sustained defense challenges to the prosecution's timeline, with extensive cross-examination of limousine driver Allan Park probing limits in his observations regarding vehicles at the Rockingham gate and other details, while redirect reinforced his prior statements that no white Bronco was present when he arrived. Judge Wong and LAX skycap James Williams provided testimony about evidence retrieval and the bags checked for Simpson's Chicago flight, while a new prosecution angle surfaced around the trash can near Williams's work station as a possible evidence-disposal location. In a separate late session, Barry Scheck raised Kelly-Frye objections and accused the prosecution of a 'forensic ambush' over the timing and presentation of DNA testing; an earlier heated sidebar over airport photographs included Darden physically touching Cochran.
