Nicole Brown Simpson fingernail scrapings and clippings

Right- and left-hand fingernail scrapings and clippings collected from Nicole Brown Simpson at autopsy (LAPD Items 84-A and 84-B). EAP typing by Matheson initially returned a Type B result; subsequent PCR and D1S80 DNA testing by DOJ, Cellmark, and independent labs returned results consistent with Nicole Brown Simpson, excluding Simpson and Goldman. A smearing condition indicated blood was still damp at collection. The nail board (People's 220) combined photographs with the physical clippings; photographs of the kit envelope and clippings were introduced as People's 305, 306, 311, and 312.
