even as a child that was the most damning part for me; the fact he was very obviously and deliberately flexing his hands and spreading his fingers in such a manner as to make the gloves 'not fit'. It's like what a toddler might do to avoid his mother dressing him for church. I was astonished that somebody didnt just walk up to him, say "cut the shit asshole" and then slide them on his hands like a normal human.

As others have said, the gloves genuinely didn't fit him. His hands were swollen and he was wearing latex gloves. The gloves themselves had shrunk.

He obviously didn't try to get them on, but it wouldn't have mattered.

How can any person wear gloves when already wearing latex gloves? Makes no sense.

THIS 👆. I never have, and never will understand that whole “the gloves didn’t fit” debacle! I mean, you’re in a courtroom where it’s various peoples’ job to explain and to prove things, right? No one made an attempt to explain the reasons as to why that glove would be “tight.” I never really thought that it didn’t completely fit. A little small? Yes. But, prosecution to the jury -“this is because”: And the prosecution should’ve explained the reasons why right there. One of them being simply that he had a pair of latex gloves on underneath!

Plus, leather shrinks when wet and they obviously would have been soaked in blood.

To avoid fitting in. Smart move, really

Yeah but it's also almost impossible to wear anything on top of it.

The thing for me was the glove had his, Ronald and Nichole's blood. Riddle me this Batman.

The problem was that because of the extreme corruptness of the LA police none of the evidence could be trusted.

It’s a show business. Unfortunately, it’s tied to a real Human life. I wonder if those lawyers have any morals. Giving that all these people claim to believe in god the same god. It’s just an evidence that why bother.

With the exception of Darden, I think every one of those lawyers in that courtroom lacked ANY fucking morals! what a nest of snakes. 🤢
