OJ Simpson's socks — physical evidence item (Item 13)
The pair of dark socks recovered from OJ Simpson's master bedroom at Rockingham, central to the blood-planting allegations. Examined June 22 by Baden and Wolf with no obvious blood, again June 29 with nothing obvious, then found August 14 with copious blood and subsequent EDTA-positive test results. The sock's interior blood transfer pattern and EDTA content were key defense evidence.
