Larry Ragle testified as a defense expert in crime scene processing techniques, bringing credentials that included a criminalistics degree from UC Berkeley and nearly three decades with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, where he rose to direct the crime lab. Called by defense attorney Robert Blasier, Ragle spent most of his day on the stand arguing that the LAPD's handling of both the Bundy and Rockingham crime scenes fell below minimum professional standards. Prosecutor Hank Goldberg pushed back aggressively on cross-examination, working to undermine Ragle's credibility by establishing that he had not personally worked a crime scene in nineteen years.
