WEB Simpson: The Glove Incident and Beyond
The Infamous Glove Incident
During the OJ Simpson murder trial in 1995, the "glove incident" became a pivotal moment. After trying on a pair of latex gloves found at the crime scene, Simpson famously uttered the words, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." However, the gloves did not fit him snugly, raising questions about his involvement.
A History of Missteps
The glove incident was not the first time Simpson's defense made a misstep. Throughout the trial, there were numerous errors and inconsistencies in their presentation.
The Double Murder and Trial
In 1994, Simpson was accused of murdering his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. The case captivated the nation and became a media sensation.
Acquittal and Civil Trial
Despite overwhelming evidence against him, Simpson was acquitted by a jury in 1995. However, in a subsequent civil trial in 1997, he was found liable for their deaths and ordered to pay a substantial sum in damages.
Preservation of Evidence
The bloody glove from the murder trial has been preserved as evidence. It serves as a haunting reminder of the infamous case that gripped the United States for over a decade.
