Bundy rear gate blood stains, LAPD Items 115/116/117

Three blood stains collected from the rear gate at 875 South Bundy Drive on July 3, 1994 — approximately three weeks after the June 12 murders. Item 117, the primary stain, yielded approximately 150–166 nanograms of DNA and produced a nine-probe RFLP match to O.J. Simpson; Items 115 and 116 also matched Simpson's PCR profile. Defense experts argued the delayed collection, anomalously high undegraded DNA quantity, and detection of EDTA indicated the samples had been planted; prosecution criminalists Gary Sims and witnesses documented the stains had been observed on the gate on June 13 by multiple officers.
