49. I can still picture that glove....

in my mind. You could tell it had been soaked in blood. It was all stiff and sort of crumpled up. Leather gloves will do that if you just get them wet with water.

The prosecution didn't make any effort to straighten the glove out or make it supple again. They wanted the "shock value" of the jury seeing the dried blood all over it, I guess.

The LAPD and District Attorney really blew the entire case. Then there was Mark Furman. He was another straw that broke the camel's back. Any one of those things alone probably would have been enough to get the jury to
acquit. Put them all together......no chance at all of a guilty verdict.
