 Next Ito allowed John Gerdes to testify about contamination in prior LAPD cases.His testifying about prior mistakes is prejudicial to the prosecution and misleading to the jury because it allowed Gerdes to conflate evidence of contamination in previous cases with the Simpson case.In the subsequent civil trial, all of decisions were reversed by Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki, who banned all allegations of police conspiracy and only allowed Dr. Gerdes to testify to confirmed cases of contamination, in this case only.
