Bundy Glove Physical

Left-hand brown Aris Leather Light glove (style 70263, extra large) found at the Bundy crime scene on June 13, 1994, beneath foliage near Ron Goldman's body, exclusive to Bloomingdale's. The glove bore heavy bloodstaining near the wrist and was examined for blood, hair, and fiber; it contained hairs consistent with an Akita dog, cotton fibers consistent with Goldman's shirt, and cashmere fibers from its lining. Investigators and attorneys debated whether the glove had been moved between its initial discovery and official collection, whether it fit O.J. Simpson, and whether it had shrunk due to blood saturation.

Enlarged photographic exhibits of the Bundy left-hand glove introduced during the civil trial, ranging from close enlargements to a detail showing the glove's label and lining. Used to examine the glove's physical condition and the presence of a white spot, and to compare it against the crime scene photographs.

Photographs of the Bundy left-hand glove taken on June 14, 1994, from multiple angles, including a close-up of the fourth (ring) finger. These images were used to examine an allegedly damaged or torn area on the ring finger and were compared to the physical condition of the glove produced in court.

Crime scene photograph of Detective Mark Fuhrman pointing at the Bundy left-hand glove in its original position, taken approximately 3:25 AM on June 13, 1994, by LAPD photographer Rolf Rokahr. Used by both prosecution and defense to establish the timing of Fuhrman's observations and the glove's placement before official documentation; defense expert Ragle testified there is no legitimate investigative reason to photograph evidence with a detective pointing at it.

Videotape (no audio) of LAPD criminalist Andrea Mazzola collecting the knit cap and Bundy left-hand glove at the crime scene, showing that she did not change gloves between the two items. The defense also introduced a portion showing a brown object on a white blanket that they contended was the Bundy glove in a different position; Mazzola denied the object was the leather glove.

Photograph of the Bundy left-hand glove with photographer's evidence identification card 102 placed next to it, taken prior to collection. Used alongside the Fuhrman-pointing photograph to establish that the glove had been repositioned between initial observation and official documentation.

Photographs of coin envelopes and bindles containing hair and fiber trace evidence collected from the Bundy left-hand glove, designated LAPD Item 112; among these were photographs alleged to bear altered labels, and defense counsel challenged the chain of custody for the missing original images.

Photograph of the back of the Bundy left-hand glove showing the primary bloodstained area near the wrist, introduced during trace evidence testimony; an annotated version with a circled bloodstain was also marked as a separate exhibit.

Side-by-side photographs of the Bundy left-hand glove in two distinct positions at the crime scene, introduced by the defense to demonstrate that the glove had been repositioned between the Fuhrman pointing photograph and the official evidence collection photograph.

Photographs of the Bundy front walkway crime scene area, including the location where the knit cap and left-handed glove were found under foliage; Detective Lange used these images to confirm he first observed both items together and noted the glove had been moved from its original position before official documentation.

Original evidence packaging for the Bundy left-hand glove: the plastic bag used for initial collection and the paper bag to which it was transferred for biological evidence preservation, bearing Mazzola's handwriting ('102'), Fung's initials, and LAPD Item No. 37.

New pair of brown Aris Leather Light gloves, style 70263, extra large, introduced by Richard Rubin as an unbloodied reference comparison to establish the original size and construction of the same style as the Rockingham and Bundy evidence gloves.

Two diagrams depicting the alleged shrinkage of the Rockingham and Bundy gloves, introduced in support of the theory that wetting with blood caused the gloves to contract and appear smaller than their original extra-large size.

Diagram of the Bundy left-hand glove drawn by criminalist Collin Yamauchi on June 14, 1994, used to orient the identification of tissue sample locations on the glove during DNA testimony.

Right-hand brown leather Aris Light glove found outside Kato Kaelin's guest house at 360 North Rockingham, serving as the matching companion to the left-hand glove recovered at the Bundy crime scene. The glove contained blood, hair, and fiber consistent with the crime, and its discovery by Detective Fuhrman became a central point of defense challenge.

Comparison board pairing known dog hair samples from Kato (Akita) and Chachi against questioned hairs recovered from the Bundy and Rockingham gloves; results indicated questioned samples from both gloves were consistent with Kato, while a sample from the Bundy glove was also consistent with Chachi. The defense objected that the board omitted similar dog hairs found at Goldman's apartment.

Grand jury transcript (June 27, 1994) containing Dennis Fung's first-person statements describing himself as the one who swatched blood drops, collected the Bundy glove, and processed the Bronco, with no mention of Mazzola. Used at trial to impeach Fung's testimony and to establish that Mazzola had performed collection tasks Fung had claimed as his own.

Crime scene or early-collection photographs of the Bundy glove allegedly showing a damaged, torn, or discolored area on the ring finger, referenced in testimony as possibly depicting a hole or debris beneath the glove. Used to argue a discrepancy between the glove photographed at the crime scene and the glove produced in court.
