💬 From the record:
Cheri Lewis served as a deputy district attorney on the prosecution team, handling a range of critical pretrial and mid-trial battles. She was deeply involved in the fight over Detective Mark Fuhrman's credibility — arguing multiple motions on his impeachment, racial bias evidence, and the admissibility of his prior conduct — an issue that would become one of the trial's most consequential flashpoints. Lewis also played a key role in the prosecution's handling of defense witness Rosa Lopez, conducting cross-examination and pressing sanctions motions over discovery disputes surrounding Lopez's testimony. Beyond those marquee clashes, she examined Detectives Bert Luper and James Harper and appeared across dozens of proceedings spanning sidebars, jury instructions, and evidentiary motions throughout early 1995.
