Glove Evidence Takes Center Stage; Expert Faces Credibility Attack
Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki • Civil Trial • 31 proceedings • 1699 utterances
tense

Plaintiffs presented a comprehensive glove evidence case, calling photographers who documented Simpson wearing Aris Isotoner brown leather gloves in 1990-1993, and introducing expert testimony that the crime scene gloves matched this known style. Glove expert Richard Rubin detailed the gloves' manufacturing characteristics and normal shrinkage, explaining Simpson's apparent struggle with them during the criminal trial as due to latex liners underneath. The defense aggressively challenged Rubin's credibility and the uniqueness of the glove style, pointing to a letter showing his bias toward the plaintiff. The day concluded with videotaped deposition testimony about the Bruno Magli shoe photograph.

  • Four photographers testified via prior testimony and exhibits that Simpson wore Aris Isotoner brown leather gloves on multiple occasions in 1990-1993.
  • Glove expert Richard Rubin testified that the crime scene gloves matched Simpson's known style and explained shrinkage as normal wear.
  • Defense attacked Rubin's credibility, citing a letter expressing hope to attend 'the victory party' and challenging his claim of neutrality.
  • Rubin conceded the gloves appeared to fit Simpson during the criminal trial, attributing poor fit to latex gloves worn underneath.
  • Photographer Harry Scull's videotaped deposition regarding the September 1993 Bruno Magli shoe photograph was played for the jury.
