Robert Shapiro was a defense attorney for O.J. Simpson and appeared in the preliminary and criminal proceedings on 108 distinct court days. His cross-examination of Detective Philip Vannatter addressed Simpson's finger injury, investigative staffing and DNA practices, blood-sample handling, documentation, the Rockingham glove, and the search-warrant affidavit. Shapiro also challenged Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran about his autopsy review, evidence-collection gaps, and time-of-death methods, and examined witnesses including Allan Park, Brian “Kato” Kaelin, Charles Cale, Denise Brown, and Carmelita Simpson-Durio. The record also places him in motions, sidebars, in-chambers discussions, scheduling, discovery, and other administrative proceedings.
