Judge Lance A. Ito • Criminal Trial • 27 proceedings • 1907 lines
tense

Day 100 centered on the prosecution's glove demonstration, with OJ Simpson trying on the pristine exemplar Aris Leather Light XL gloves marked People's 401 in front of the jury. Glove expert Richard Rubin testified that the gloves fit 'quite well' and were 'snug and tight,' while Johnnie Cochran challenged the weight of the demonstration by eliciting that 99.5% of American males could fit XL gloves and contrasting Rubin's preparation time with the prosecution and defense. The day also included the prosecution's introduction of cellular phone records and Las Vegas hotel records concerning Simpson's calls and Paula Barbieri's location on June 12.

  • OJ Simpson tried on the pristine exemplar Aris Leather Light XL gloves marked People's 401 before the jury.
  • Glove expert Richard Rubin testified the gloves fit 'quite well' but acknowledged they were 'snug and tight' on Simpson's hands.
  • Johnnie Cochran established through cross-examination that 99.5% of American males could fit XL gloves, undercutting the prosecution's exclusivity argument.
  • Cochran contrasted Rubin's 3.5 hours of preparation with the prosecution against only 15 minutes with the defense, using the disparity to challenge Rubin's credibility.
