Ron Goldman's crime-scene shirt
The shirt Ron Goldman was wearing at the time of the murders, collected by the Los Angeles County Coroner's office (LAPD Item 81). It bore multiple stab defects — counts vary between three and six across different expert analyses — with buttons torn from positions 3, 5, and 6, consistent with a violent struggle. FBI Agent Deedrick identified a Negroid head hair (designated Q23) and Negroid limb hairs consistent with O.J. Simpson, along with abundant blue-black cotton fibers; mold growth developed during storage, complicating pattern analysis, and a three-quarter-inch stab cut consistent with a single-edged knife was documented.
