I needed to ask the witness whether the latex would alter the fit of the glove; but also, I want him to come back over and show his hands again to the jury.
We object, your Honor. Counsel--first of all, we agreed to do that without counsel making those statements over there. That's why I stayed `way back. We tried to object to that. So we've done what they've asked. We would object to anything else at this point. We never talked about anything else. I didn't want to object in front of the jury, but we've done everything you asked him to do. I would object to him doing anything else, your Honor.
So he can tell us whether he expects that Mr. Simpson can place his hands into those gloves.
The best evidence is what happened. This witness had an opportunity to observe what he did in front of the jurors, and the Court indicated that he had to do what he did. He did it and I had no objection to that. That's totally improper, to have him showing his hands. The jurors are the ones who have to determine whether his hands go in there or not.
The jury saw what happened. They'll make the judgment. You can ask the witness about what impact latex gloves might have and you can ask him to step over to where Mr. Simpson is to look at his hands. You can ask him to do that.
Judge, may I just ask for what purpose they want a follow-up question to ask him to look at his hands? I mean what's that--I mean, I don't understand that.
He is an expert witness in gloves. He can tell us what size hands those are. Could be extra, extra large. Who knows?

But he's been a businessman now for like 10 years.
I have to break at a quarter to, and it's raining.
