Detective Tom Lange underwent redirect examination by Marcia Clark and an extended recross-examination by Johnnie Cochran. Clark elicited testimony rebutting a drug-related-homicide theory and introduced People's 101 to counter a defense suggestion of improper police conduct. Cochran questioned Lange about evidence handling, undocumented observations, crime-scene practices, forensic foundations, and whether alternative leads involving Faye Resnick's reported drug history and rehabilitation stay were considered. Sidebars addressed questioning procedures, hearsay, and evidentiary scope, while outside counsel separately argued motions to quash subpoenas for Aboudram's and Randa's phone records.

• Attorneys for Michelle Aboudram and Cathy Randa argued motions to quash prosecution subpoenas for their clients' phone records
• Detective Lange underwent redirect examination by Marcia Clark attempting to rebut the drug-murder theory
• Johnnie Cochran conducted extensive recross-examination cataloging investigative failures: unretrieved blanket, unphotographed blood, discarded evidence, misreported observations, and shoes handled without precautions
• Cochran used crime scene videotape to question Lange about Dennis Fung entering the Goldman body area without gloves and apparently carrying the Rockingham glove, a cup near the scene, and photographer Rokahr independently opening a mailbox
• Sidebars addressed disputes over Caucasian hairs on the gloves, questioning procedures, and the scope of admissible evidence regarding alternative-suspect theories; the questioning-procedure exchange turned heated
• Defense advanced an alternative drug-related homicide theory through questions and assumed facts concerning Faye Resnick's possible drug use, her June 3-8 stay at Bundy, and her rehabilitation entry before the murders
• Judge Ito narrowed questioning on Resnick's drug rehabilitation timeline but allowed defense to press whether investigators adequately considered this theory
• Darden raised concern that Simpson appeared to make eye contact and roll his eyes at a juror around 3:01 p.m.
