Simpson Parker Center Interview

11 items · 11 documentary · 6 with detail pages

Parker Center is where LAPD's investigation crystallized: Detective Vannatter's June 13, 1994 interview with Simpson, the blood reference vial collection, DNA typing initiation, and chain-of-custody documentation for critical forensic items. These exhibits capture the institutional procedures that became the trial's central battleground—how LAPD's control of the evidence either secured its integrity or created vulnerabilities the defense would exploit.
