Lydia Bodin served as a deputy district attorney on the prosecution team, appearing alongside Christopher Darden during pre-trial motions in January 1995. Her work centered on clearing evidentiary hurdles around Nicole Brown Simpson's history — she argued to compel the Sojourn domestic violence shelter to turn over its records, contending that because the victim was deceased and no privilege holder existed, the shelter could not claim confidentiality. Bodin also handled motions on the admissibility of prior spousal abuse evidence and victim statements, laying groundwork for the prosecution's effort to establish a pattern of domestic violence as context for the murders.
