Roderic Hodge was a defense witness called by Johnnie Cochran and subpoenaed from Illinois; he testified that he lived in Dalton, eight miles south of Chicago. On September 6, 1995, Hodge testified that Detective Mark Fuhrman used a racial slur during a 1987 arrest. Christopher Darden cross-examined Hodge and challenged him with an Internal Affairs complaint that did not mention the epithet, after which Cochran conducted redirect examination.
