Nicole Brown Simpson Fingernail Scrapings and Test Results — Items 84-A and 84-B
Nicole Brown Simpson's right- and left-hand fingernail clippings and scrapings, principally identified as Items 84-A and 84-B, and their associated test results. Testimony described EAP findings as Type B or a qualified B-like pattern that the prosecution attributed to degradation, while defense counsel argued that the result suggested an unknown source. PCR and D1S80 testimony described results consistent with Nicole Brown Simpson and excluding Simpson and Goldman, with testimony noting uncertainty about whether different laboratories tested the same portions.
