Defense attorney Robert Blasier briefly cross-examined Debra Guidera, a photographer who had photographed OJ Simpson wearing a glove in New Jersey in December 1993. Blasier used the photograph to suggest the glove appeared loose on Simpson's hand and drew attention to another person in the background also wearing gloves, implying gloves were commonplace in cold weather. The cross was short and largely inconclusive, with Guidera unable to recall whether the glove looked loose in person.

CROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. BLASIER
# 4 MR. BLASIER: Good afternoon, Miss Guidera. How are you?
# 6 MR. BLASIER: This was December 1993 in San Francisco, correct?
# 8 MR. BLASIER: I'm sorry. In New York?
# 9 MS. GUIDERA: No. New Jersey.
# 10 MR. BLASIER: New Jersey. How cold was it?
KEY QUOTE # 11 MS. GUIDERA: Very cold.
# 12 MR. BLASIER: Very cold. A lot of people wearing gloves there?
# 13 MS. GUIDERA: Umm, I guess so.
# 14 MR. BLASIER: Not particularly unusual to see people wearing gloves at all, if at all?
KEY QUOTE # 15 MS. CLARK: Objection. Speculation.
# 16 THE COURT: Overruled.
# 17 MS. GUIDERA: No, not unusual.
# 18 MR. BLASIER: Okay. Now, I want to take--I'd like to remove one of these if I might. Can you put this on the elmo, please?
# 19 THE COURT: Which one is this, Mr. Blasier?
# 20 MR. BLASIER: This is 612--I don't know.
# 22 MR. BLASIER: A. Can we back out on that, please?
# 23 MR. BLASIER: Now, Miss Guidera, do you have an independent recollection of being there and seeing Mr. Simpson?
# 25 MR. BLASIER: And looking at him when you took the picture?
# 27 MR. BLASIER: When you looked at that glove in person, was it as loose as it appears to be in the picture?
KEY QUOTE # 28 MS. CLARK: Objection. That calls for a characterization, your Honor.
# 29 THE COURT: Overruled.
# 30 MS. GUIDERA: I can't recollect.
# 31 MR. BLASIER: Okay. The picture is the best record of what you saw?
# 32 (No audible response.) # 34 THE COURT: Is that yes? You're shaking your head. Is that--
# 35 MS. GUIDERA: Repeat the question.
# 36 MR. BLASIER: This picture is your best depiction of what you saw that day?
# 38 MR. BLASIER: Okay. Now, could we have this--back it just a little more. And could we zoom in on the lower right corner? More. Thank you. And could we have a circle around that glove, please?
# 39 MR. BLASIER: Miss Guidera, do you recall seeing the person standing behind Mr. Simpson wearing gloves?
# 40 MS. GUIDERA: Right now I do, yes.
# 41 MR. BLASIER: Okay. Appear to be the same kind of gloves that he was wearing?
# 42 MS. CLARK: Objection. Speculation.
# 43 MS. GUIDERA: I don't think so.
# 44 MS. CLARK: Never mind. Withdrawn.
# 45 MR. BLASIER: May we have that printed out, please?
# 46 THE COURT: Yes. Mark that as--let's make that 612-C.
# 47 (People's 612-C for id = printout of photograph) # 48 (Discussion held off the record between Defense counsel.) # 49 MR. BLASIER: Your Honor, I'd like to show the witness People's--
# 50 MS. CLARK: Objection, your Honor. Objection. Relevance.
# 51 THE COURT: Sustained. The record should reflect that the reference was made to 609.
# 54 (Discussion held off the record between Defense counsel.) # 55 MR. BLASIER: That's all I have.
# 56 THE COURT: Miss Clark, any redirect for Miss Guidera?
# 57 MS. CLARK: No, thank you, your Honor. Nothing further.
# 58 THE COURT: All right. Miss Guidera, thank you very much for coming in. You're excused. Next witness.
