O.J. Simpson Infamously Trying On Gloves At Trial

Darden thought he was taking Johnnie down with this maneuver. Epic fail.

Didn't they have him come try on a brand new on soiled pair at one point to prove that it would fit? The damage had already been done but also OJ was never going to prison

If you stiff flex your hand hard enough no glove in the world is fitting.. but if you relax your hand enough any adult male size glove can fit.. unless your Andre the giant

Couldn't... Couldn't they have turned the glove inside out and checked for finger prints?

He should have been a wrestler with those selling skills.

The gloves bloody well do fit.

there are 25 thousand comments!!! LOL!

To all the nay sayers yes leather does shrink but not that much. If gloves really shrank 15% just from getting wet nobody would buy them.

Take them f**** late text gloves off and they will fit.

this was by far the dumbest thing to happen in a trial, EVER. everyone in that room knew he did it 💀

The prosecutor allowed this to happen and can be blamed for allowing a murderer to go free. OJ is clearly acting when trying on the gloves. All the prosecutor had to do was have someone with similar sized hands put the gloves on. The detectives also state that the prosecutor was working against them and wanted OJ to win - you'd have to have lived through all this to understand. The RK riots were two years prior. Also, people were very tired at this point as the trial was dragging on for eleven months. In 1994 everyone was watching it because tv was all we had at the time. Everyone wanted some sort of resolve. The defense attorneys most likely told OJ to act like the gloves were too small, which is why he is laughing like a little kid - he's acting. OJ was considered a pure role model figure (a sociopath underneath) and many, including the jury, could not deal with the reality that he was a cold hearted killer. So a delusional jury and a prosecutor siding with the defense is what happened. A clear case of our legal system not working as intended.

1:35 Maybe umm...take off the other glove? Before trying on another?

Worst job by any lawyers ever. They didn’t even need him to try them on. Receipt was proof they were purchased by Nicole. Darden and Clark blew this case right at this point. Furmann sealed the deal

If DNA was not brand new at this time OJ would have been gone. The expert on witness lost the jury because it was so dry and scientific. If he just would have said the odds of it not being Mr Simpson’s DNA is on in 10 billion….done.

Murderer

Oh my lord he is wearing rubber gloves underneath, was the jury mentally challanged

Imagine if it fit perfectly lmao

What a mistake!
