Bundy Rear Gate Blood

7 items · 7 physical · 7 with detail pages

Three rear-gate stains, LAPD Items 115–117, were collected on July 3, 1994. PCR testing excluded both victims and did not exclude O.J. Simpson, while Item 117 was reported as an eight-probe RFLP match in criminal testimony and a nine-probe match in civil testimony; counsel disputed the collection delay, DNA quantity, degradation, EDTA testing, and claimed earlier observations. The catalog also contains DNA-quantity charts, conflicting EDTA test presentations, HPLC graphs, and an electrophoresis printout from which the Item 117 lane was removed by court order.
