The defense mounted a relentless, multi-round assault on the prosecution's physical evidence during this heavily evidentiary day. FBI shoe print expert William Bodziak endured intensive cross-examination by Barry Scheck, who systematically exposed methodological gaps—including his failure to search the FBI's computerized shoe database and his reliance on assumptions about blood patterns. The defense then introduced surrebuttal witness Prof. Herbert MacDonell, who testified that blood saturation causes 10-15% glove shrinkage, contradicting the prosecution's weather-based theory and supporting the defense claim that the crime scene gloves could not have fit OJ Simpson.

• Bodziak admits he never searched FBI's computerized shoe database for parallel line patterns despite using it to identify Bruno Magli prints
• Scheck challenges Bodziak's expertise on fabric impressions, blood discoloration, and interpretations of Dr. Henry Lee's testimony
• Defense reveals unidentified parallel line imprint on June 25th photographed by Dr. Lee has no significance to the murders
• Judge takes judicial notice of moon phase on night of murders: 12% waxing crescent
• Prof. Herbert MacDonell called as surrebuttal witness on glove shrinkage from blood saturation
• MacDonell's controlled experiment shows blood causes measurable shrinkage, contradicting prosecution glove expert Richard Rubin's weather-based shrinkage theory
• Clark aggressively cross-examines MacDonell, exposing methodological flaws including use of brand new gloves versus well-worn crime scene evidence
• Prosecution conditionally rests rebuttal case; administrative session addresses witness scheduling and excludes Officer Sherry Ray's testimony on Mark Fuhrman
