8 Days of O.J. - "IF IT DOESN'T FIT: The Most Catastrophic Prosecutorial Decision in Legal History" - Day 6
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
Reid Carter examines June 1995 - the month Chris Darden made the decision that guaranteed O.J. Simpson's freedom. June 15th becomes the day that changed everything when Darden asks O.J. to try on the bloody gloves in front of the jury. The setup was perfect for disaster - latex gloves underneath, arthritis medication stopped, leather shrunk from blood. O.J.'s Academy Award performance struggling with gloves becomes Johnnie Cochran's poetic masterpiece: "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." The prosecution's panicked attempts to explain shrinkage and the too-late new glove demonstration. Thirty days watching the prosecution snatch defeat from victory's jaws with the dumbest prosecutorial move in American justice.
