O.J. SIMPSON . . . BLOODY TRAIL GROWS

O.J. Simpson's blood was found on an alley gate near the scene of the murders, prosecutors alleged today in a hearing conducted outside the presence of the jury. They explained that this evidence emerged only recently as lab tests on blood samples from the scene were completed. This piece of the puzzle builds on other blood samples, collected from the ground near the bodies, that prosecutors say was Simpson's. The samples from the gate will now be turned over to the defense for independent testing.
