Prosecution launches glove photo blitz as rebuttal case begins

The prosecution launched its rebuttal case despite the defense's refusal to formally rest, focusing almost entirely on glove evidence. Six witnesses—primarily photographers—testified about pictures of O.J. Simpson wearing various gloves at NFL events spanning from December 1990 to January 1994. The defense countered by attacking the significance of the photos, arguing that gloves were routine in cold weather and that apparent fit issues could be explained by heat packs. Underlying procedural tensions erupted throughout the day regarding discovery disputes, witness credibility challenges, and unresolved motions about evidence admissibility and police personnel records.
