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

Plaintiffs presented a comprehensive glove evidence case, calling photographers who documented Simpson wearing gloves at football events from 1990 to 1994, and introducing expert testimony that the crime scene gloves matched the Aris style Rubin identified in photographs. 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 that Baker used to portray Rubin as a prosecution partisan rather than a neutral expert. The day concluded with videotaped deposition testimony about the Bruno Magli shoe photograph.

  • Photographer testimony and exhibits showed Simpson wearing gloves at football events in 1990, 1991, 1993, and 1994.
  • Glove expert Richard Rubin testified that the crime scene gloves were a matched pair and identified the same Aris style in photographs of Simpson, while explaining shrinkage as normal wear.
  • Defense attacked Rubin's credibility, citing a letter expressing hope to attend 'the victory party' to portray him as a prosecution partisan.
  • 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.
