tense The defense challenged Detective Mark Fuhrman's credibility through testimony from three witnesses about racist statements. Kathleen Bell and Natalie Singer described statements attributed to Fuhrman from 1985-1987, while filmmaker Laura Hart McKinny testified that Fuhrman used a racial slur approximately 42 times in recorded interviews and authenticated recordings played for the jury. William Blasini testified that he saw no blood while looking through OJ Simpson's Bronco during a June 21 inspection, although cross-examination established that he could not say blood was absent. Photographer Rolf Rokahr established the sequence of the glove photographs but could not reliably determine their timing. The prosecution challenged Singer, Blasini, and Rokahr and argued against further cumulative Fuhrman testimony.
