tense FBI footwear expert William Bodziak continued his rebuttal to Dr. Henry Lee's testimony, explaining that some questioned walkway marks were concrete finishing marks and testifying that photographic comparisons showed other identified features were absent on June 13 and arose later. He reaffirmed his opinion that the bloody shoe impressions he identified were made by size 12 Bruno Magli designs, that he saw no other shoe impressions on June 13, and that Simpson remained a candidate for wearing those shoes. On cross-examination, Bodziak acknowledged missing or not focusing on portions of Lee's bloodstain-sequencing testimony; Scheck argued that sequencing mattered to the parallel-line analysis, while Bodziak maintained that it did not affect his opinion. The testimony was accompanied by objections, a sidebar dispute over the characterization of Lee's prior testimony, and administrative housekeeping involving exhibits and the missing Stockdale tape.
- William Bodziak testified that marks Dr. Henry Lee identified as possible shoe imprints were actually concrete tool finishing marks inherent to the walkway since it was poured.
- Comparing June 13 crime-scene photographs with June 25 photographs, Bodziak testified that an imprint Lee identified was absent on June 13 and called the comparison 'absolute proof' that the later discolorations and lines arose after that date.
- Bodziak reaffirmed only one set of bloody shoeprints existed at the scene—all size 12 Bruno Magli—and OJ Simpson remained a candidate for wearing them.
- On cross-examination, Bodziak acknowledged that he had missed or not focused on portions of Lee's bloodstain-sequencing testimony; Scheck argued that sequencing bore on the imprint-edge analysis, while Bodziak maintained it did not affect his opinion.
- Sidebar dispute erupted over whether Lee had testified to a 'shoeprint' versus merely a 'footprint impression' on the tile, with Judge Ito overruling Scheck's objection.
- Missing Stockdale tape (recording of OJ's voice) flagged as unlocated, complicating prosecution logistics.
- Jury dismissed for weekend with judge offering unusual praise for their attentiveness to exhibit tracking.
