- On June 15, 1995, in maybe the most memorable moment of the O.J. Simpson murder trial, prosecutors asked Simpson to try on a glove found at the scene of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman's deaths, with Simpson telling the jury it didn't fit. That led to Simpson's attorney, Johnnie Cochran, proclaiming in his closing argument, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." On October 3, 1995, jurors found Simpson not guilty. He was later found liable for their deaths by a jury in a civil trial.

You are not doing time

Lmfao
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“If it don’t fit you MUST acquit!” This has to be the quote of the century.
That’s what she said…
They fit fine. Watch the video
If you missed the first half, yea
Nope “winning” - Charlie Sheen is.
@@Shadowx011 😂😂😂😂
This is the best acting OJ ever did.
Nah, Naked Gun Trilogy was better
The glove is actually on looking back now
I forgot he was in the Naked Gun movies. Nordberg , the cop that was always getting beat up.
An Oscar for it!!
Tbf, they’re not a great fit
Right now OJ is in the biggest trial of his life. No jury, no lawyers just one God.
That's your opinion and not fact...no science has proven that exists.
@@scottsears5545 I've seen things science can't explain... The supernatural world does exist
OJ Simpson is resting peacefully in his grave, while his name rages deep within your soul.
@@alanmorris7669 only god knows if his resting truly peacefully...his eyes is closed yes...but there is more to death...trust me I know
@@alanmorris7669 yes OJ is resting peacefully now that the killer of his wife has finally been brought to justice, cancer got him in the end.
I wonder how the jurors lived with themselves after this.
just fine i bet, they knew exactly what they were doing.
Same way, the LAPD cops slept after beating Rodney King.
@@dleyba3199 probably same as the Emmet Till, Medgar Evers lawyers etc
They were fine. They wanted payback for Rodney King
Many of them have since admitted that the verdict was payback against the system for racial abuse, most notably the Rodney King incident.
bro is so guilty in every non verbal way possible too
This was a colossal lawyering blunder that second-year law students learn not to make. You never ask a question that you don’t already know the answer to. Whoever dreamed up the idea to do this was either desperate or clueless
It was Darden
This was a classic case which doesn’t happen often where a defendant, in this case OJ, had enough resources to go up against the state, and the state lost. Darden was terrible. The glove demonstration was a disaster, but the defense whether you like it or not was a ‘ dream team’. I think the judge was a disaster in letting some evidence in, but that is another story. We all know OJ was guilty, but prosecution did a poor job.
@@missourimanful Concur. I remember listening to the opening statements on the radio. Darden was awful. He stumbled, stuttered and rambled. Then I listen to Johnnie Cochran, who could have been reading the phone book, sounding like Shakespeare, and thought OMG, he's going to walk
@@missourimanful Some purport that they knew despite not having a clue nor being privy or there when the incident occurred but that's not the way the legal system was set up now was it? Nowadays, different story. You have a mass number on social media crying out a verdict of guilty or "we all know" and I really think cases or should I say juries are persuaded upon this nonsense. Heck they don't care how circumstantial the case is, they'll render guilty just because they fear a mouthing mob online. Back then circumstantial obviously didn't rule courtrooms and verdicts rightfully so as it does today, it was about beyond a reasonable doubt and facts, proof. OH you were in the area so you must have done it is the standard now and it's a very slippery slope we have come to.
Semper Fidelis
Was much more than Darden being inexperienced. Combination of good defense attorneys and terrible prosecution and "luck." And I am a Licensed Private Investigator Investigator. I've testified on a multitude of different types of Complex case. Hbentexecutiveinvestigations
Wow.. I finally now fully get that Seinfeld episode.
"You can't try on a bra over a shirt. It's got to fit skin to skin... Like a glove!!"
Not the same thing!
Jackie Chiles nailed Johnny Cochran perfectly
@@parrotmom56 "That’s totally inappropriate. It’s lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous."
😂😂😂😂 i wore latex in gloves before...it don't make a bit of difference latex are so thin and easy to rip. Get over it yall act like yall some eye witness to what happen. You watch it on t.v. like everybody esle. Yall dont personally know any of these people. Yall couch experts lol😂😂😂😂
Thank you for the commenters who just appreciated the Seinfeld reference. Lol
Who else is here after his demise?
umm… everyone? this video was made cause OJ just died..
I'll be here after yours also 😂😂😂😂
Lawd me.. I'm one em. 🤦🏿♂️
i am 😂😊
@kingelie2137 you to young to know anything about oj
He was told days before not to take his arthritis medication. So his hands purposely swelled up. Sickening
That makes no sense 😂
Or simply innocent,they had the wrong person.Rons' time card showed he punched out at 10.30.Ron went home showered,and changed.
The bodie's were found past midnight,Nicole was alive.Go watch Bettina Rasmussen testimony from the Pre Lim hearing.
Looks like the gloves fit quite well
They, well, fit like a glove.
He’s like “damnit I gotta squeeze these on again !!”
Probably the dumbest move by any prosecutor ever. Did they think he was going to slip it on and say 'ya fits perfectly'??
He was set up to allow OJ try the gloves. Cochran was happy very much !
If Darden hadn't asked him to try them on Cochrane would have suggested it so I'd say it wasn't so much the prosecution were silly rather that OJ was canny
I'd honestly like to know, while on his deathbed, if he was asked if he would like to make a confession
Hopefully a sacramental confession cause at that point, that’s all that matters for a dying person. God knows the answer and OJ will stand trial again…only there will be no lies.
It's between him and God
@mram03 yes you are correct and that goes for a lot of people's grand fathers and grand mothers. RIP OJ 🙏 rest in power OJ
I'm sure everyone around his deathbed already knew whether he did it or not.
He made his kids sign a non-disclosure agreement while on his deathbed.
That should tell you everything you need to know.
One thing I remember about that trial is that the bronco chase was hardly even mentioned. That really surprised me.
Wouldn’t it be smart if the killer purposely left too small of gloves at the scene ?
He forced those fuckers pon, they don't make XL football 0layerb gloves. I'm sure they do but he probably had huge hands
it would be smarter if the killer left no gloves at the scene
Oj wasn't That smart 😅
Of course he didn't but gloves exposed to moisture and the elements are going to shrivel.
There were no finger prints in the gloves? The story don’t add up. It don’t fit smh
People saying Karma for him dying now but Technically he lived a Full Life at 76 years old(CDC Average Life Expectancy is 76-77). Karma would be him getting Cancer right after he was Acquitted in '95 not 29 years later as a old man 🤦♂️🤣
4real yo 🤦♂️
Mighty Wite of them wanna be Lawyers finger pointed OJ
People are dense bro, they wanna believe that his death was some punishment when really he was just old and like every old person…they die.
@astros69 💯 Exactly, the Closest he came to getting Karma is the Jail time he got 15 years ago for the Robbery but other than that He lived a Full Life.
@astros69 it's too early to say every old person dies but it sure seems to be trending that way
What if they did DNA testing on those gloves today? I wish they would.
They didn’t find OJ DNA anywhere on those gloves during the Trail. It’s on youtube go watch
You are so Right !!!!! There would have been DNA inside the gloves. OJ did have a cut on his hand !!!!!!!!! Also skin and hair would be inside those gloves !!!!
Yes, you hear all about those wrongly convicted now that the dna tests are better. Can they work that the other way? Can we go back to get people declared innocent and with the new technology help find them guilty?
@@robertburch3813double jeopardy?
@@robertburch3813 You can't charge after acquittal. It's scary how many people were on death row were found innocent with DNA. OJ had the best lawyers. A normal person gets an overworked, disinterested public defender. Let's be honest, jury thinks you're guilty unless proven innocent in a trial.
So it takes him 2 minutes to pry the latex glove on and it takes him 2 seconds to try to fit the leather glove? Great effort there OJ.
Yeeeeaaahh 🤔. Latex gloves can be quite difficult to put on.
You try to put latex gloves on with sweaty hands it’s not easy
It's even harder with a Latex Glove underneath 😅
No it isn't @stiffpeter1771
@@Kingof69ner Bro name one person who wears Latex Gloves under a pair of Winter Gloves. Just One ? I garuntee you OJ did not have on four pairs of gloves when he m******d Nicole and Ron Goldman. Expensive Gloves like those don't shrink unless you cook them or bake them in a oven. It doesn't matter now, whether he did it or not, Only God can Judge him now. If Johnny Cochran was a Prosecutor Lawyer on that case. OJ Simpson would have been serving Life in Prison with no Parole. He would have di*d in prison.
Kardashians face when they read the verdict says it all. He knew
Yeah, Robert helped set OJ up and was shocked it didn’t work out. They stopped being close after that. But no one wants to talk about that though.
Kardashian was annoyed that Johnny Cochran yelled "YES!". He's supposed to be a professional and the victims of both families were there
He is seen wearing those exact gloves while doing a broadcast for the NFL..
7:50 Kardashians face says it all right there..Even he knew it.
He looks more shocked than anything . I think he can’t believe he actually can’t away with it
And now we're stuck with his daughters thanks to OJ.
Look how we use to look back in the day😂😂😂 them glasses crazy. That lady killing em in that red dress
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
His greatest performance
Everyone knows leather shrinks when wet, and those gloves had been soaked in blood, dried, and shrank
Plus He’s wearing latex gloves underneath of the shrunken leather gloves smh
Which made the decision to have him try them on all the more inexplicable. Other than sheer desperation, what on earth made the prosecutors think that was a good idea?
@@devilsadvocacy power & control did. An evil, narcissistic, rich boss who sits at the very top.
Exactly
every body knows Mark Fuhrman planted those gloves then plead the fifth on the stand when asked about it
3:40 look how fast he got that glove off, your telling me it took him like 2 minutes to out it on but comes off like that. How did no one notice this?
Easy to take off when it doesn’t fit 🤷🏾♂️
Imagine living your life with people saying you killed someone and you a
are innocent nobody knows what really happened but just a horrible way to live life
Yes!! Have you people never put on gloves?🤷🏽♂️Gloves are easier to remove than to put on, especially latex gloves. They always difficult to put on a make fit properly
exactly
He looked like "a smart man", maybe he had gloves which didnt' fit. Nothing strange with this man. Now he is on a trial which he, they can not play a game with.
This is one of my earliest memories watching this trial as a kid. This was my 5th birthday and it was playing on the tv loud.
Struggling to get them on and shows how tight they are yet they slip off in a tenth of a second lol.
That's why the glove didn't fit cuz he had another glove on 😂
And it shrank from being soaked in blood
no! i actually tried that with my gloves and they still fit.
The gloves didn't fit because the gloves were too small.
@@davidaltman8831 I thought it would have a difference I never thought of trying it myself
Incorrect, dry blood didn't shrink the glove
Ladies and gentlemen, this... is Chewbacca
Ahh the Chewbacca defence
I wonder what those people in that courthouse celebrating thought years later about OJ.
His poor victims family’s cries broke my heart. Such an injustice.
How is this "injustice"? The glove brought doubt, and you can ONLY find someone guilty of a crime BEYOND a reasonable doubt!
@@RickyDominguezThis! The prosecution did a poor job trying to find an innocent man guilty.
@@RickyDominguez It doesn't though, that's the point. It was a stupid idea by the prosecution
They had to wait 30 years for some kind of justice. 😢
@@brettjohnson536the lady didn't want to go through with it but that black lawyer did. She even warned him that it wasn't going to fit but he still wanted to go through with it anyways
Judge Ito had the most profound statement of the day. Expect the worst from the media.
They look like they fit to me. Leather shrinks a bit when it gets wet, which accounts for the difficulty he had putting them on. OMG he wore latex goves under them. There's no way he could put them on with latex underneath.
💯
One of the greatest injustices of our time. We all know it
I love the look on Marcia Clarks face !!!!! Priceless !
"If it doesnt fit, you must acquit"
Johnnie Cochran
they didn't fit because they shrank from the massive blood soaking and drying from oj brutally slashing the victims.
It's not up to you to judge@@jimmylieb5225
That’s what she said…
"I am shocked and chagrined! Mortified, stupefied!"
Jackie Chiles
@@jimmylieb5225 wrong again
The fear in his eyes
Also OJ acting like a complete idiot when trying on those gloves, no one acts that way when trying on gloves.
Everyone talks about the glove moment. This was all theatrics though. The trial ended when mark furhman pleaded the 5th when he was asked if he planted or manufactured any evidence in the case.
Take a second to imagine the pain that the Goldmans and Browns must have felt in during that verdict… gut-wrenching.
The actor they got to play Ron Goldman dad looks exactly like him.
Johnny Cochran cracking jokes- If you look at OJ Simpson over there..and he has a rather large head😂”
Spitting 🔥
The tension must have been so high in this room. I feel like Johnny and FLee where worrying if this would work out.
There was no way the gloves would fit the same with latex gloves.
i’m not saying he’s innocent at all. but the latex gloves wouldn’t have that much of an effect. he was definitely acting like it was a struggle and spreading his hand out making it seem like they didn’t fit. but the latex gloves didn’t factor
All I can see is him trying to spread his thumb so far out so that the glove won’t fit 🤣
7:50 Kardashian has the “I’m going to hell” look on his face
No, he's just in shock.
OJ had a cut on his finger. Why wasn’t there a cut on the gloves? 🤔
It wouldn't surprise me if he had killed them without gloves (it's not like he had planned on handling anything at the scene other than the knife he would be taking away with him, so he shouldn't have been concerned about fingerprints). But once he realized he'd be leaving blood all over his steering wheel driving back home and dripping blood out of his cut finger leaving a trail, he could have grabbed gloves he'd had in the car and put them on before leaving. Someone should have checked whether there was more blood inside the gloves or outside.
Best trial ever....amazing
Reliving the moment after his death, and it's still shocking but knowing he's finally facing the consequences for what he did is the only difference
He didn't do anything to face consequences for.
It was NOT the DREAM TEAM that got him off, it was the the Incompetent prosecutor
Yep that’s what my law teacher said
The prosecution was strong. In fact that was the first case that she lost
@@CraftyCosmopolitanuh...mark furhman?
@@CraftyCosmopolitan That's no achievement. They go against overworked public defenders. Also, in a normal trial, jury always thinks the person is guilty until proven innocent.
No this was lost went the trial went from Brentwood to LA County
"I told her, "The glove don't fit," I'm feelin' like O.J." 😤😤😤
Why didn’t they just buy a new pair of the exact same gloves to try on in that very size?
they did, and those new gloves fit! 😲
They did they even put blood on new gloves to see if they would strink
He murdered those two poor individuals. I believed it then and I believe that now.
So what?
Who cares what you believe. Our court and our jurors and our justice system believed he was innocent and they ruled as such
You’re absolutely right he’s innocent, innocent as P diddy.
There's actually very good evidence it was OJ's son who did it and OJ just covered for him after finding out.
AT0. ok. if it makes you feel ok.
They fitted well enough. May not have looked fashionable but they fitted enough.
The fact that the gloves look tight is a red herring - tight gloves can still be used, in fact it's better because it allows more dexterity than a loose glove.
It's not widely known, but the prosecution actually did a *second* glove demonstration later in the trial. This time with a new pair of the same gloves, and no latex gloves underneath. They fit.
Maybe yes, maybe no. But the pair found didn't fit, so what purpose would they have to do another testing with a different set that hasn't even been worn or weathered or shruk do to washing it or something.
but those weren't the gloves used for the crimes were they? so what's the point....he was asked to try on the gloves used for the crime not just any random glove
The gloves will not slide over latex gloves. They would have easily fit him without the latex gloves.
The worst thing the prosecution didn't do is argue that.
@@Bkaas Your absolutely right!
Yep absolutely right. I work in cold conditions. I put on nitrile gloves on first for extra insulation then my work gloves over them and at times it's really hard to get them on over nitrile or latex. Plus that stinky leather glove obviously shrunk. The court was a puppet court for OJ to win. He spent some serious behind the scenes hush hush money to get off. Our courts and legal people are just as crooked as the people they are locking up.
Wrong
@@Bkaas if the glove don't fit you must acquit 😂
Johnnie Cochran had that look in the background like he was defending his own son. Walked over like a coach when OJ tried the gloves on. Now, that's legal representation right there. R.i.p Johnnie Cochran
Were these the gloves Mark Furhman planted at the scene?
This didn't prove anything either way. He did it and everybody knows it.
Any idiot knows that leather shrinks when it gets wet.of course the dam glove didnt fit.
gloves shirink. why would they test shrunken gloves? on top of the latex gloves. the prosecution BLEW IT.
The gloves FIT. Any reasonable person can SEE the gloves fit. No reasonable person could acquit.
The trial was held in Los Angeles, 1995.🤷
When putting on gloves you fold your hand by bringing your thumb towards your pinky not keeping your hands wide open.
“your honor these gloves don’t fit” *holds up hands fully in the gloves*
"Get rid of the latex glove and I bet it's a perfect fit"
Istg social media in 1995 woulda been crazy
those morons were already losing the trial.. trying that glove just sealed the fate of the prosecution😅😅😅😅😅
Only God knows if he is guilty or not. It’s impossible for anyone here to know for sure one way or the other.
He means the imaginary one that can see everything all at once. Also one that can read minds too. One that can destroy evil but chose to let it be. One that could have created heaven from the start and put us all there . But no he wants to test us. Entertainment
We all know he did it.

@@my.0224 OJ WAS GUILTY ASF
1:57 the glove does in fact fit. The knuckles match up with the ends of the fingers and his fingers fit perfectly into the fingers of the glove. But you can watch in slow motion. The elastic glove is stretching and pushing the leather glove off.
OJ’s acting skills took over. Oh Latex gloves. Even a kid trying them one wouldn’t fit.
Why would the prosecution give OJ the control here?
The glove actually fits as he didn’t wear latex gloves under them originally when he killed them. Try putting 2 pairs of gloves on and see if the pair on top fits as well as the pair on the bottom.
It actually fits easier though. I just tried it
There are different types of gloves ...first one is used is latex ,second one nitrile all manufactureres have different sizes and specs
If he didnt have the rubber gloves on, both would have fit
no
I watched this in class in the 4th grade. I remember EVERYONE talking about it the day after it happened. What's interesting is we are all here talking about it because he's dead, but nothing was ever done during his life. His money let him move free. Good luck everyone!
Lol. He took the glove off so quick. 3:40
Johnnie gets me fired up!
You never let the defendant handle the evidince thought we spoke about that in criminal justice community college !!
Cochran was a great lawyer. He was originally going to be Michael Jackson’s lawyer in 1993. Imagine how much Johnny would have shut the accusers up back then
The World is unfair
He did a good job putting it on as well. His lawyer probably had him put on gloves a hundred times so they can show him how to struggle more.
If I wore a tight glove, it would definitely not fit if I wore another glove underneath ... like what happened here?
I was asking that question when we watched this in middle school.
Tainted jury pool.
Notice how nobody tells him to take the latex off-of course trying to put a glove over a glove isn’t gonna fit, he knew that, and he ran with it! 😆🤷🏼♂️
…did they not realize that putting on the first gloves made the gloves even tighter to get his hands in them?
The jurors were idiots
Those gloves fit on his hands...
OJ looks like a nervous kids showing parents "I dindo notin"
marsha's face is priceless here.
Wearing a glove over another glove gonna make it snug....plus the fake look like he is struggling...
Memories.... 😪😪😪
Of course they wouldn't fit over the latex! It's hard for me to get my ski gloves back on after I take them off and my hands are damp. They're pretty loose on me and if I had latex gloves on underneath there's no way they'd go on AT ALL. How is that not obvious?
People saying he's innocent is pretty sad
OJ Simpson is innocent.
It is your the court and it is your justice system and they acquitted him so stop whining
@@AT0525 The justice system letting a dangerous criminal out on the streets, is a legitimate concern. You’re the one whining.
There's actually very good evidence that OJ's son is who actually did it and OJ covered for him.
He was found innocent and acquitted. What is your alibi ?
Its gonna be a tight fit, he is wearing it over latex gloves.
