Blood stain on sole of Goldman's boot (Item 78)

The blood stain collected from the bottom of Ron Goldman's boot at the Bundy crime scene (LAPD Item 78). Sub-samples designated 78-A through 78-E were subjected to RFLP and PCR DNA testing; results showed a mixture consistent with both victims, with Simpson excluded from the RFLP profile. The stain was characterized as possible cast-off from the murder weapon. Chain of custody included swatching by Yamauchi on July 20, 1994, and cutting by Dr. Blake on July 28, 1994; defense counsel extensively cross-examined lab handling.
