procedural

Testimony reconstructed the final hours before the bodies were discovered, from Ron Goldman's departure from Mezzaluna with Nicole Brown's glasses to neighbors hearing a distressed dog near Bundy. Witnesses then traced a blood-marked Akita from its encounter with Steven Schwab to its leading Sukru Boztepe and Bettina Rasmussen to Nicole's body around midnight. Procedural disputes repeatedly interrupted the evidence, including the failed motion to strike Camacho's testimony, disagreement over a sealed defense envelope, and reciprocal discovery deliveries. The hearing adjourned until July 5 so prosecutors could review newly supplied defense recordings, with Simpson's speedy-hearing rights expressly preserved.

Mezzaluna witnesses traced Ron Goldman's final movements, including his departure around 9:50 p.m. carrying Nicole Brown's prescription glasses.
Neighbors described persistent barking and a blood-marked Akita that ultimately led Sukru Boztepe and Bettina Rasmussen to Nicole Brown's body.
The judge denied the defense motion to strike knife-salesman Jose Camacho's testimony, leaving his credibility for the court to assess.
A defense evidence envelope remained sealed pending briefing over disclosure obligations and how the material was obtained.
Late-produced witness interview recordings forced an adjournment until July 5 while the prosecution reviewed them and prepared further witnesses.
