Bronco Exterior Blood

8 items · 8 physical · 7 with detail pages

Exterior Bronco evidence includes a small blood spot near the driver-side door handle, reddish marks at the driver’s door sill, and two specks photographed on the passenger door. Testimony described a presumptively positive field test for the handle-area spot, while the visibility of several marks, the implications of their location, and confirmation of the passenger-door specks as human blood were disputed or uncertain. Photographs, an analyzed-evidence report, and the Bronco itself documented the locations and later examinations; a prosecution opening statement separately asserted that blood from a Bronco panel matched Simpson.
