June 30, 1995|By Robin Clark, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
LOS ANGELES Prosecutors hoping to end their case with a bang were reduced to a whimper yesterday when Judge Lance Ito reluctantly threw out what he called "very compelling circumstantial evidence" linking O.J. Simpson to his ex-wife's murder.
Ito said prosecutors had failed to disclose to defense lawyers, as required by law, the findings of an FBI analyst who compared carpet fibers from Simpson's Ford Bronco with fibers found on the case's bloody gloves and on a
knit cap recovered at the murder scene.
Ito said FBI agent Douglas Deedrick would be allowed to tell jurors that the fibers could have come from the same source. But he barred the agent from presenting detailed evidence on the rareness of the tan carpet, which his report said was installed only in Ford Broncos manufactured in late 1993 and early 1994.
