Photographs of the blood bottle labels from Nicole Brown Simpson's (Coroner case 5136, People's 364-I) and Ronald Goldman's (Coroner case 5135, People's 364-H) autopsies, introduced through Dr. Lakshmanan's testimony. Nicole's label shows a sample taken by Dr. Golden on June 14, 1994 at 9:30 a.m.; Goldman's label shows a sample taken at 11:30 a.m. Blown-up enlargements introduced as People's 364-II and 364-HH respectively.
Sealed hair kit envelopes for Nicole Brown Simpson (Item 83, Coroner case 94-05136) and Ronald Goldman (Item 73, with additional hairs as Item 74) received from the Coroner's office by Denise Lewis, stipulated never opened, and documented in photographs People's 412 and People's 414. The kits were subsequently transported to the FBI laboratory in a sealed manila envelope.
Reference blood samples from Nicole Brown Simpson and OJ Simpson designated K67 and K68, used as EDTA-positive controls during FBI forensic chemist testimony; demonstrated a strong EDTA signal and discussed in connection with whether Fredric Rieders independently tested Nicole's blood evidence.
Whole blood reference vials from Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman drawn at autopsy by Dr. Golden on June 14, 1994, comprising Item 59 (7.2 ml, Nicole) and Item 60 (5.5 ml, Goldman). Hand-carried by Detective Vannatter to LAPD serology on June 15; subject to EDTA-content scrutiny in chain-of-custody challenges, and approximately 1 ml each was released to defense expert Ragle.
Coroner's office blood reference swatches for Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman (Items 72 and 82), prepared as cloth stains from autopsy material and confirmed to contain ample material for defense splits. A coroner-prepared cloth stain preparation of Nicole Brown's reference blood was also sent by LAPD to the DOJ laboratory as a separate format from the primary vial.
Reference blood sample from Nicole Brown Simpson. Coroner case no. 94-05136, drawn at autopsy by Dr. Golden on June 14, 1994; hand-delivered to LAPD serology by Detective Vannatter on June 15 and subsequently used for conventional serological typing (EAP BA, PGM 1+) and PCR extraction.
Reference blood sample from Ron Goldman. Drawn at autopsy by Dr. Golden on June 14, 1994; hand-delivered to LAPD serology by Detective Vannatter on June 15 and subsequently used for conventional serological typing (EAP A, PGM 2+1+) and PCR extraction.
Potential reference blood sample from Ron Goldman. LAPD tested but no results obtained. Collected from a stump in the fenced-off area north of the Bundy walkway; initially documented as blood stain photograph ID 106, subsequently assigned Item 41, and used at LAPD SID as a surrogate male victim exemplar pending receipt of actual autopsy reference samples.
Blood collected from concrete near the base of the first step at the Bundy crime scene, initially documented as blood stain photograph ID 107 and assigned Item 42; used as a surrogate female victim exemplar. Tested by Matheson and returned inconclusive ('B question mark / no activity') due to degradation.
Chart entitled 'Testing Results NBS and RG Reference Samples,' introduced in the civil trial during Dr. Robin Cotton's testimony to highlight a faint B allele observed in Nicole Brown Simpson's reference sample.
Photograph of the sealed white frozen storage envelope used to book and preserve Goldman's and Brown's biological evidence items received from the Coroner's office.
Known (reference) blood sample introduced at the preliminary hearing and identified by witness Kestler as a reference blood sample rather than a crime scene item.
Crime scene blood samples from the Bundy walkway area (Items 41 and 42) used as surrogate reference exemplars for Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson respectively, cut between 11:00 and 11:20 a.m. and designated 'not true exemplars' by Yamauchi.
Fitzco paper reference sample cards for Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman prepared from the primary autopsy reference vials and sent by LAPD to Gary Sims at the DOJ laboratory for PCR-based DNA typing. Goldman's card was typed as DQ-alpha alleles 1.3 and 4 with a very faint 1.1 allele.
Nicole Brown Simpson's fingernail scraping and clipping kit (Item 84) received in a Coroner's office envelope, along with associated blood scraping envelopes; received sealed by Denise Lewis and never unsealed by her.
