I tend to agree with Dershowitz that Cochran would not have had unsupervised access to the glove.
I don’t think the prosecution allowing OJ to try the evidence gloves on while wearing Latex gloves helped. Stupid.
Idiots.
LEATHER gloves shrink when they get wet, and OJ’s were covered with blood.
And, any smart attorney knows to never ask a question if you don’t know the answer. They hadn’t tried the gloves on OJ, so they didn’t know the answer.
1) I think OJ was guilty
2) I think the prosecution was embarrassingly incompetent
Oh that’s rich...
The Prosecution’s case was that the same Detective found one glove at the crime scene, then the same detective lept the wall to the Simpson house and immediately found the other glove in the backyard, before anybody else could come in the front gate... At night... In the dark...
And they accuse the defense of tampering with this glove...
,,, let’s first remember what the crime scene collector ( Mr. Fung ) said . Items that were collected which were blood soaked or contained moist blood were first put in a convection dryer to dry and stabilize the sample collected .
What happens to wet or moist leather when put in a convection dryer ??? It shrinks ,,,,,, I REST MY CASE .
Chris Dardin was an idiot to ask 0J to preform this test because one could visibily see the gloves were too small to fit 0J Simpleton’s hand especially when combined with the rubber glove 0J Simpleton put on first .
Take heart! Johnnie Cochran is rotting in hell. Guaranteed.
Pouring a thin stream of glue into the seams of the glove would have caused the fingers to stick together as they clearly did when O J tried it on.
Since I had young children at the time of the trial, I couldn’t help but note that OJ was holding his hand like a 3 year old, trying to get the glove on while holding his fingers mostly apart. That’s what kids do, when they either don’t know how to get their winter things on yet, or just plain don’t want to wear them...
With that, and the natural leather shrinkage from the blood, of course he “couldn’t” get his hand in it. Cochran didn’t even need to tamper with it.
When OJ arrived in Chicago the morning after the crime, he had cuts on his hand he claimed came from a water glass. I’ll bet if they did a DNA test on the glove they would have found OJ’s DNA besides the victims.
Didn’t matter if the glove fit or not. That jury was not going to send their beloved OJ to prison.
More likely Simpson did exercises to build up his hand muscles or gorged on salt to make his fingers swell. He certainly had enough time to exercise and make them bigger.
So Darden, is busy boffin’ Marcia Clarke....loses an important case and then blames someone who is dead and can’t defend himself....classy.
now dont get me wrong....OJ is guilty and the trial was badly mishandled from day one...
but dont make up BS. a glove covered in blood shrinks and hardens making it difficult to put on...and they should never have permitted the trying on the glove in court for that reason alone....
Jackie Chiles could have done a better job with a bra, than Darden and Clarke
Well, yeah...
Otherwise he would have had to come up with a different “poem”.
How ‘bout:
“If da glove done fit
he guilty as sh*t”
bad LTOS! Bad BAD! :-)
I have tried to put a normal glove on over a rubber glove in situations where I needed both chemical protection and physical protection.
Guess what? The rubber glove makes it very difficult to put on the normal glove. Try for several minutes hard.
The real idiocy is that the prosecutor never tried this at home before suggesting the test.
Hmmm... F. Lee Bailey is still alive I think. According to the article they think he’s deceased.
Chris:
You have to be the dumbest prosecutor ever and dumber than a barely passing the bar public defender.
You allowed crap into the trial that should have never been in the trial or severley limited.
And now you have this, and I don’t “specious” claim is the right word, but you do have something that greater than that as your excuse for losing.
There are strict rules when handling evidence and no way, I say “No Effing Way” the defense handled the glove in a way that was inconsistent with handling of evidence and that it was very much observed by the chain of command to ensure there would be no tampering the evidence.
I am nearly tempted to post the “You have got to be the stoopitest person ever” post but, I reserve that for lame opus’ and irrefutable idiots who make me wonder how they got this far in life without drowning in the shower...as do you.
You are a hack bottom line and beyond incompetent.
Thankfully OJ is in a jail for his arrogance. Yeah, I get it was his stuff but whatever it took to have serve some jail time then fine.
Now, go skulk off to wherever losers try to get their lattes the right color and never let us hear from you again.
Chump.
Maybe so but she was a chump to attempt a demonstration at trial.
Even the rookie litigators know bettter than that.
