  • On June 15, 1995, in maybe the most memorable moment of the O.J. Simpson murder trial, prosecutors asked Simpson to try on a glove found at the scene of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman's deaths, with Simpson telling the jury it didn't fit. That led to Simpson's attorney, Johnnie Cochran, proclaiming in his closing argument, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." On October 3, 1995, jurors found Simpson not guilty. He would later be ordered to pay millions in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Goldman's family.

    It was such a stupid thing to get him to Try on the damn gloves

      No it wasn't really. Who had expected the Jury being that dumb.

      ​@@philipppaasch8929It was incredibly stupid. They weren't going to fit because they had shrunk. That's why the defense didn't even object to him trying them on. So what was the point in the state having him try on the gloves? They should have known they had shrunk. They weren't going to fit. It was bad optics. There was zero reason to ask him to try them on. It wouldn't have proven anything. Again, I ask you, please tell me the point in having him try on the damn gloves?

      @NPC-et9ik - And you never took gloves that you did own and soaked them in blood, letting them dry thoroughly, then try to put them over surgical gloves now did you? Leather shrinks and becomes brittle when soaked in liquid - especially blood, when it dries. Look at the very smug look on that murderer's face @ 0.33! That part of the trial was a complete sham and everyone knew it!

    That was a horrible mistake on the prosecution to make OJ try on the gloves because he has medical gloves on under neath…of course they were not going to fit😂🤦🏾‍♂

      @@Loulovesspeed OJ has a 5th amendment right to not be compelled to try on the gloves. How this was done was something that all parties agreed on beforehand. The state really wanted to get him to wear the gloves. To do so, they had to acquiesce to defense demands. That was a big mistake on their part.

    To this day, I'll never understand why OJ couldn't take the witness stand, in his own defense, but the prosecutors called him to try on the gloves and made OJ Simpson a witness without ever speaking. Action speaks louder then words and now the prosecutors are in big regret. Darden is making every attempt in front of a jury who now sees the gloves dosen't fit.

    It was not about whether he was guilty or not, it was about the colour of the skin of the people he was accused of killing. No wonder fuhrman pleaded the fifth to planting evidence.

    His body language as he does this long and drawn out act of putting a pair of plastic gloves on only shows his arrogance.. that glove fit him, it went on his hands. How this got him off is an utter joke and disrespectful to women DV. The law is created to protect MAN.

The Police responded to calls from Nicole 8 times after he beat her repeatedly. They did nothing as he was a famous athlete! She is on record having told the Police each time they did nothing about it that "He is going to kill me and will get away with it." Well, he is now facing the ultimate judge and will not be able to deceive him.
