Bronco Exterior Blood

9 items · 9 physical · 9 with detail pages

Blood found on the exterior of O.J. Simpson's white Ford Bronco—above the driver's door handle and door sill—provided the prosecution's key forensic link to Simpson. Criminalist Dennis Fung collected these samples; DNA analysis matched them to Simpson at the D1S80 locus. The defense, led by attorney Robert Blasier, mounted sustained challenges to this evidence category, making these photographs, field tests, and DNA profiles central to the trial's most fiercely contested forensic disputes.
