Judge Lance Ito dismissed attempts by O.J. Simpson attorneys to suppress evidence and testimony in the Simpson case, another setback in a line of setbacks for the defense team. Defense attorney Gerald Uelmen said DNA tests done on blood found on O.J.'s driveway invaded his client's privacy.

The L.A.P.D., which earlier in the day had looked like Keystone Kops, accepted laurels for patience and restraint. It had been a day full of incipient violence, but as more than one commentator was heard to say at the end of it all, "at least no one was hurt...
