September 7 centered on contentious Brady motions and Fuhrman-related rulings. Scheck argued that repeated failures to produce photo contact sheets delayed the defense's ability to establish that Fuhrman's glove photograph was taken at night; Judge Ito questioned the prosecution and took the sanctions request under submission. Ito denied the defense's three proposed remedies following Fuhrman's Fifth Amendment invocation, including the request to admit McKinny tape excerpts. A tense in-chambers confrontation followed over scheduling changes and Clark's implication that the court was punishing the prosecution for pursuing appellate remedies.
