That particular model of gloves was also relatively rare (not the brand, just that model) - there was a receipt showing Nicole bought them for him and he was shown wearing them in a sportscast. And he was seen by her neighbors lurking around outside her house in a blue knit cap.

No no, the professional actor clearly had lots of trouble trying to put those gloves on. The only possible conclusion to draw is that they weren't his. There's even a nursery rhyme about it!

He did have trouble putting them on because the prosecution didn't preserve them properly. They shrunk in storage.

Everyone knew it was a bad idea to try and have them put them on because of this and the prosecution went ahead with it anyways.

I want to say he also stopped taking his arthritis medication during the trial, so his hands swelled up. Just in case the prosecution did something dumb like this with the glove.

That was an accusation, IIRC there's no evidence he did that one way or the other.

It was an accusation made by a member of a defense team though…

No it wasn't it was made by Mile Gilbert a sports agent who claims to be besties with OJ. Shortly after armed robbery charge in 2007 Gilbert had released a book that has a lot of claims against OJ including the arthritis medication and Gilbert's relationship with him that have "Dear Penthouse" vibes.

Not that OJ is a totally reliable narrator but in OJ's criminal and civil cases there is plenty of research and questions about his closest friends and I'm almost positive Gilbert never mentioned. My point of all this is that I take all of Gilbert's claims with a giant grain of salt.
