Excellent article. Prosecutor Chris Darden decided to make OJ try the gloves on for size, even though others warned him about letting OJ get in front of the jury and “testify” in a manner that could not be cross examined. It also violated the famous lawyer’s advice phrase, “Don’t ask a question you don’t know the answer to.” Darden didn’t know whether the gloves actually would fit OJ. That was really the end of the case, as Simpson put on quite the act, spreading his fingers and seemingly struggling trying to get the shrunken gloves over his big hands and fully outstretched fingers. It was a Darden Disaster, and one of the most famous moments in any American trial.
Man, you let it rip there. I don’t disagree at all.
I just sat here and told my wife how annoying it was to know who Kato and Ito were for two years. Famous for being famous, by hook or by crook. The precursor to Kardashian madness, Reality TV, and where we are today. Devoid of morality.
So well done, Mark. We watched the chase at Szechuan Palace on Bristol while a cook demonstrated the art of noodle making. My favorite line: “The sordid part of Tyson’s past will be pushed down through the paragraphs of his obituary.”

It can’t be said better than this.

Awesome work, Mark!
Beautifully done, Mark. Thanks.
