tense The final day of closing arguments concluded with Christopher Darden's rebuttal and an extensive multi-part closing argument by Marcia Clark, who methodically argued against defense theories on DNA contamination and evidence planting. Clark presented a comprehensive 'unrefuted evidence' board and closed with an emotional compilation of the 1989 and 1993 calls and domestic violence photographs, arguing that the evidence clearly established Simpson's guilt. Multiple heated sidebars erupted over alleged prosecutorial misconduct and misrepresentations of expert testimony. After final jury instructions, the jury was sent to deliberate.
