From the archives: O.J. Simpson tries on glove during 1995 murder trial and more

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 was later found liable for their deaths by a jury in a civil trial.

[@missourimanful]

This was a classic case which doesn’t happen often where a defendant, in this case OJ, had enough resources to go up against the state, and the state lost. Darden was terrible. The glove demonstration was a disaster, but the defense whether you like it or not was a ‘ dream team’. I think the judge was a disaster in letting some evidence in, but that is another story. We all know OJ was guilty, but prosecution did a poor job.

[@devilsadvocacy]

Nowadays, different story. You have a mass number on social media crying out a verdict of guilty or "we all know" and I really think cases or should I say juries are persuaded upon this nonsense. Heck they don't care how circumstantial the case is, they'll render guilty just because they fear a mouthing mob online. Back then circumstantial obviously didn't rule courtrooms and verdicts rightfully so as it does today, it was about beyond a reasonable doubt and facts, proof.

The prosecutors seemed to throw everything against the wall and wanted to see what would stick and instead they showed the jury a muddied story that made him out to justifiably to be a terrible person, but they failed to absolutely pin him to the crime. Did he have motive and opportunity? Sure, but reasonable doubt wasnt removed and the defense reminded everyone of that constantly. End of the day he was awful to her. He probably murdered her or had her murdered, but the legal standard of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt wasnt met. One thing that should have been taken away from this case was that cops who perjure themselves or show serious racist leanings have got to go. They are a walking talking liability for solid cases.

The more I've looked @ it, the more I belove someone else was involved and OJ came to see that it was done. Most people don't know how much blood flows out of the body. TV isn't a good example. Both Nichole and Ron were almost decapitated. That's a huge amount of blood from 2 people. It just never made sense how little blood was in his SUV. And the prosecution gave the case away on silver platter by calling Mark Furman. They rushed this case and it backfired on them.

[@lynnl5878]

Nope he didn’t do it. Back then I thought he had done it, especially with the media coverage. I have recently watched the entire trial and that was a professional job. No way he did it. There was not enough time for him to do that and clean up. The blood evidence was minimal. Spots here and there. Murders that brutal with that many stab wounds and that much blood, to find that little blood they supposedly found at his home and in his Bronco is ridiculous. There would have been blood everywhere if he did it and went home to prepare to go to the airport. Like I said, not enough time to do it. I’m sorry for what happened to Nicole and Ron but they should be trying to find the real killers

[@jennifermartins2189]

The glove actually fits as he didn’t wear latex gloves under them originally when he killed them. Try putting 2 pairs of gloves on and see if the pair on top fits as well as the pair on the bottom.

[@AliMohamed-tr1ii]

It actually fits easier though. I just tried it

[@lindalw1163]

They fitted well enough. May not have looked fashionable but they fitted enough.

[@jaylouis8227]

I'm not a lawyer, but I never understood this. Why would you have him try on the gloves if you weren't certain they were his? First of all, the gloves probably shrunk. Also, he would be trying them on with latex gloves. Even if the glove did fit, it still would've been circumstantial. I don't know that it would've proven the prosecution's case.

[@satinblackcat]

The jurors were idiots

[@treatb09]

1:57 the glove does in fact fit. The knuckles match up with the ends of the fingers and his fingers fit perfectly into the fingers of the glove. But you can watch in slow motion. The elastic glove is stretching and pushing the leather glove off.

[@jillybean9563]

This is all anyone focuses on. Nobody talks about how he tried on a brand new pair of XL gloves similar make/model and they fit perfectly when prosecution was doing damage control. Not only were the Bundy/Rockingham gloves soaked with blood at one point, but they were also wet with chemicals for testing at another point and caused shrinking. Anyone who wears gloves knows they shrink when wet, and OJ stopped taking his arthritis meds. The gloves fit is what I'm saying, so I will never understand why this was made into such a huge deal during the trial. I agree Darden made a terrible decision having him try on the gloves without knowing the results, but I think OJ's bad acting speaks volumes in itself. All these years later and I'm still baffled at that Not Guilty verdict. OJ will face his consequences and pay his price now, in the afterlife. RIP Ron and Nicole ❤
