Mezzaluna Glasses Envelope

15 items · 15 physical · 13 with detail pages

The principal item is a white envelope marked for Karen Crawford’s prescription glasses, containing eyeglasses left by Juditha Brown at Mezzaluna for delivery to Nicole Brown Simpson and found between the victims. Crime-scene photographs and demonstrative boards documented the envelope in two positions, bloodstains, and a partial shoe impression; Dr. Henry Lee described one imprint as consistent with part of a Bruno Magli sole pattern, and later examination raised a missing-lens issue. The catalog also includes substitute and authenticated photographs and the brown-paper outer bag, whose tape and interior held blood-crust material and other debris.
