Detective Lange's cross-examination continued with aggressive challenges from the defense on evidence handling, timeline issues, and alternative homicide theories, particularly a drug-motive angle involving Faye Resnick. The prosecution then conducted extensive redirect testimony on time-of-death factors before excusing Lange. The day concluded with the introduction and initial testimony of Detective Mark Fuhrman, with the prosecution preemptively addressing his credibility concerns and press allegations.

• Cochran pressed Detective Lange on whether he verified the Bronco was locked and whether he personally contaminated the crime scene by placing a cotton blanket over Nicole's body
• Defense introduced Cora Fischman hearsay (struck from scope) and explored drug-investigation angles at Exodus rehab facility involving Faye Resnick
• Prosecution and defense clashed repeatedly over foundation and hearsay issues, with Judge Ito sustaining most objections and threatening sanctions against Clark for speaking objections
• Clark conducted extensive redirect on time-of-death factors and evidence integrity, rebuffing the drug-theory alternative with testimony about keys found near Ron Goldman's body
• Detective Mark Fuhrman was called as a witness and Marcia Clark preemptively had him deny the Kathleen Bell letter allegations, then walked him through the 1985 domestic violence incident at Rockingham and initial Bundy crime scene observations
