Simpson Tries on Murder Gloves as Defense Scores Critical Points
Judge Lance A. Ito • Criminal Trial • 27 proceedings • 1907 utterances
tense

Day 100 centered on the prosecution's glove demonstration, with OJ Simpson attempting to try on the evidence gloves (Aris Leather Light XL) in front of the jury in what became one of the trial's most iconic moments. Glove expert Richard Rubin testified the gloves fit 'quite well,' but defense attorney Johnnie Cochran effectively undermined the evidence through cross-examination, establishing that 99.5% of American males could fit XL gloves and exposing Rubin's extensive prosecution preparation bias. The prosecution concluded by introducing cellular phone records and Las Vegas hotel records to establish Simpson's activities and contacts on the day of the murders.

  • 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 revealed Rubin prepped for 3.5 hours with the prosecution but only 15 minutes with the defense, raising significant credibility concerns.
  • Cochran measured the Bundy left glove and established it measured 5/8 inch shorter than the reference exemplar gloves.
  • Darden and Cochran were each fined $250 by Judge Ito for baiting one another during heated courtroom exchanges.
  • Cell phone records showed Simpson called Nicole Brown at 2:18 PM and made four unsuccessful attempts to reach Paula Barbieri on June 12th.
