In reply to the discussion: O J Simpson dead at 76: [View all]mnmoderatedem
(3,910 posts)38. They did try to do damage control after the glove demonstration
They had a representative of the glove manufacturer testify that the glove had indeed shrunk, and they had OJ try on a regular pair of the same type gloves to demonstrate that they did in fact fit. Did not seem to have much affect on the jury though. Major mistake to have OJ try on the glove in the first place.
But I have a feeling he may have been acquitted anyway. Just my gut feeling regarding celebrity in the US.
