Physical Bruno Magli Lorenzo-style shoes in size 12 (European 46), used as known comparison standards throughout footwear analysis testimony. Specimens obtained from the Bruno Magli store in New Jersey (Peter Grueterich) and used in both the criminal and civil trials. A Lorenzo black boot was also shown to Bloomingdale's witness Poser by LAPD Detective Antonio for identification.
O.J. Simpson's white Reebok tennis shoes, size US 12 / European 46, surrendered to Detective Lange. Used by FBI Agent Bodziak to confirm the defendant's shoe size and to demonstrate the Reeboks made none of the crime scene impressions.
A board of photographs depicting various shoe styles — athletic, boot, and dress — used to show the Bruno Magli Lorenzo is visually distinctive, alongside a Bruno Magli catalog depicting the Lorenzo and Lyon styles with style numbers and color variants.
Compression-molded rubber outsoles from the Silga factory in Italy, obtained in European sizes 42 through 47. Used throughout FBI footwear testimony as physical comparison references for the Bruno Magli sole pattern; the size 46 sole was passed to jurors for tactile examination in the criminal trial.
A chart or board featuring reverse photographs of the Bruno Magli sole, illustrating how design element counts differ by size and used to demonstrate why European size 46 matches the crime scene impressions.
Pair of foot-form lasts in American size 12 / European size 46, obtained from the 4C factory in Italy — the actual forms used to construct the Bruno Magli shoe. Introduced to demonstrate the manufacturing process and the relationship between European and American sizing.
A board titled 'Imprint evidence at Bundy' used during both Dr. Lee's and FBI Agent Bodziak's testimony, including a photograph of parallel lines on tile that Scheck used on cross-examination. Bodziak identified the lines as trowel marks rather than a shoe impression.
Photographs of shoes worn by LAPD officers at the crime scene, including Officers Riske and Terrazas and others, submitted to FBI Agent Bodziak for comparison and elimination. Bodziak confirmed none matched the Bruno Magli impression or the parallel line patterns identified by Dr. Lee.

Bloomingdale's sales records — including journals, receipts, UPC codes, and department codes — searched by LAPD for evidence of a Bruno Magli Lorenzo purchase by O.J. Simpson. No matching record was found. Three specific records were also produced to defense on cross-examination.
A chart showing the conversion between European shoe sizing and U.S. sizing, specifically documenting that European size 46 corresponds to U.S. size 12.
Six photographs of shoes worn by Officers Phillips, Fuhrman, and Roberts, introduced and excluded as potential sources of the Bundy shoeprints. FBI Agent Bodziak confirmed Mark Fuhrman's shoe sole did not match the Bruno Magli pattern.
A board presenting overlays of test shoe impressions on crime scene photographs, used to demonstrate alignment between the Bruno Magli sole pattern and specific crime scene prints designated E and Q68.
A chart prepared by FBI Agent Bodziak explaining nonspecific versus specific methods for determining shoe size from impressions, based on manufacturer knowledge of sole construction.
A chart explaining how hand-milled molds are made and how the hand-milling process creates forensically distinguishable variations between molds used to produce Bruno Magli outsoles.
A chart covering the variables that affect shoe sizing, including lasts, sizing systems, and conversion tables between European, American, and British shoe sizes.
A chart prepared by FBI Agent Bodziak illustrating the four levels of shoeprint comparison: size and shape, design pattern, wear characteristics, and accidental characteristics.
A diagram prepared by FBI Agent Bodziak mapping the locations of individual footprints on the Bundy walkway, used as a reference throughout shoeprint analysis testimony.
A chart prepared by FBI Agent Bodziak based on his own 500-person study (399 males), correlating shoe size to height; indicates size 12 corresponds to a range of 71 to 77 inches (5'11" to 6'5").
A larger overlay placed on an autopsy photograph by FBI Agent Bodziak to illustrate the alignment of the Bruno Magli sole's heel and toe curvature with impressions on the victim.
A smaller overlay for an autopsy photograph prepared by FBI Agent Bodziak showing an alternate heel orientation for comparison to the Bruno Magli sole pattern.
A chart featuring enlarged photographs of the Bruno Magli Lorenzo and Lyon shoe models, used to introduce the two styles at issue in the footwear analysis.
A set of crime scene photograph blow-ups labeled A, B, C, J, K, prepared by FBI Agent Bodziak from original negatives sent to him in August 1995, in advance of rebuttal testimony. Defense counsel established these were higher quality than previously provided photos.
A black-and-white photograph of the shoeprint area at Bundy taken on June 13, 1994, labeled H, corresponding to a location in Bodziak's footprint diagram.
A demonstrative photograph of a right Bruno Magli shoe worn by a model, used during Bodziak's direct examination and discussed for its demonstrative-only purpose.
O.J. Simpson's driver's license listing his height and weight, referenced by the prosecution to corroborate height-to-shoe-size correlation analysis supporting the size 12 Bruno Magli conclusion.
Photographs used during FBI Agent Bodziak's shoeprint testimony and referenced by defense counsel during Dr. Baden's cross-examination, where it was established that Baden had never reviewed this material — undermining Baden's dismissal of Bodziak's analysis.
A height calculation chart prepared by RCMP Inspector Mike Cassidy correlating shoe size to height range; indicates size 12 corresponds to approximately 6'0" to 6'4".
A chart featuring photographs taken by FBI Agent Bodziak at the Silga and 4C factories in Italy, showing the compression molding process and shoe assembly used to manufacture Bruno Magli outsoles.
An overlay of a Silga outsole originally used during Bodziak's direct examination, re-displayed by defense counsel during cross-examination to challenge Bodziak's framing of the impression found in the Bronco.
Multiple proceedings' references to size 12 Bruno Magli Lorenzo-style, Silga-soled shoeprints found in blood at the Bundy crime scene. Bodziak testified the prints were consistent with a size 12 Bruno Magli shoe; the shoe was sold at approximately 40 stores nationwide at approximately $160–$180 per pair. References include discussion of hesitation prints and Simpson's footpath relative to the crime scene layout.
References during defense expert testimony (Dr. Henry Lee and FBI Agent Bodziak rebuttal) to the Bruno Magli shoe design and sole configuration as the standard against which other impressions were compared or excluded, including discussion of the shoe's pattern in the context of Bronco carpet impressions.
Testimony across depositions and the criminal closing regarding whether O.J. Simpson ever owned Bruno Magli shoes. Simpson denied ever owning them or knowing the brand before the trial; Jason Simpson did not recall seeing them. Prosecution searched nationally and internationally but found no purchase record linking Simpson to the shoes.
Strips of selected crime scene negatives and contact sheets created by FBI Agent Bodziak from original negatives, sent to prosecutor Goldberg approximately one to two weeks before Dr. Lee's testimony. Defense had repeatedly requested these but never received them.

A set of photographs depicting bloody shoeprints at the Bundy crime scene, submitted to FBI Agent Bodziak for forensic analysis. The photographs documented the shoeprints as they existed on June 13, 1994, and were also reviewed during a return visit to the scene with Dennis Fung in February 1995.
References to shoes bearing a parallel line sole pattern identified by Dr. Henry Lee at the Bundy crime scene. Dr. Lee identified over 70 pairs of shoes with parallel line patterns as potentially inconsistent with the Bruno Magli design; defense counsel Scheck also showed Bodziak a specific shoe with parallel lines before his rebuttal testimony.
