Gary Sims presents PCR analysis results for item no. 6, a blood drop from the Rockingham driveway, confirming the results are consistent with OJ Simpson as a possible source. The testimony is brief and technical, covering DQ-Alpha and D1S80 typing results before Harmon flags an unresolved housekeeping matter about display boards for the glove and socks evidence, prompting Judge Ito to briefly clear the jury.
# 1 (The following proceedings were held in open court:) # 2 THE COURT: All right. Thank you, counsel. Mr. Harmon, proceed.
# 3 MR. HARMON: Mr. Sims, what were the results that you obtained on your PCR analysis of the item no. 6, the Rockingham driveway drop?
# 4 MR. SIMS: This is item no. 6?
# 6 MR. SIMS: The PCR results were as follows: The DQ-Alpha type was 1.1, 1.2, the D1S80 type was 24, 25.
KEY QUOTE # 7 MR. HARMON: Okay. Those were consistent with Mr. Simpson?
# 8 MR. SIMS: Yes, they were.
# 9 MR. HARMON: Could you approach People's exhibit 261 and remove the two covers that reflect those results.
# 10 MR. SIMS: Do you want me to stand over here?
# 11 MR. HARMON: Just remove them and let the jury see them. We just want to make sure they are what you just described for us. Do the PCR results appear to reflect the results you obtained?
# 13 MR. HARMON: And under the "not excluded" column those are consistent with Mr. Simpson?
# 14 MR. SIMS: Yes, they are.
# 15 MR. HARMON: Does that mean he is a possible source of those stains?
KEY QUOTE # 16 MR. SIMS: Yes, it does.
# 17 MR. HARMON: We will discuss statistics in a little bit on that. Okay. You can have a seat again.
# 19 MR. HARMON: Your Honor, I had wanted to discuss the glove and the socks results and we never finally resolved those boards. I'm sorry, I hadn't thought of it before we started this morning.
# 20 THE COURT: All right. Let me ask jury to step back into the jury room briefly.
