Defense Challenges Witness as Discovery Issues Emerge
Judge Kathleen Kennedy-Powell • Preliminary Trial • 2 proceedings • 51 utterances
tense

The preliminary hearing resumed with routine administrative opening before shifting to a contentious motion hearing. The defense attempted to strike knife-shop worker Camacho's testimony, arguing that a Los Angeles Times article contradicted prosecutor Marcia Clark's claim that a DA secretary had authorized the witness to speak to press. The judge denied the motion after chambers discussion, ruling credibility determinations remain solely within her purview. A discovery issue also surfaced when the defense disclosed they were still transcribing interviews of Kaelin and limousine driver Allen, with delivery promised by noon.
