    In retrospect, Ito was just a terrible judge. He started letting way too many things in and once he started doing that, he couldn’t stop. Add that to the fact that the defense counsel was so much better than the prosecution and it wasn’t a fair fight.

    Another OJ legacy: Inspiring the legendary three-episode Law & Order run where a famed Hollywood director kills his ex-wife and the trial turns into a circus on both coasts. Of course Jack McCoy got his man.

    Curious who the ESPN OJpoligist was. Hated Bonds, loved OJ?

    What was the actual explanation of the gloves not fitting? OJ wearing rubber gloves underneath? His defense team having him soak his hands in some creation to help them swell up? The gloves shrinking due to the DNA testing?

    Dan Abrams mentioned he owes his career to OJ, also figure various other blonde women lawyers who suddenly popped up, and more than a few black commentators as well.

    I thought (maybe from the documentary) that it was a combination of the rubber gloves underneath, plus his lawyers had him stop taking his arthritis medicine, which made his hands and fingers swell up.

    Curious who the ESPN OJpoligist was. Hated Bonds, loved OJ? Ralph died before Reilly joined ESPN.

    If I don't want a glove to fit my hand, that glove is not going to fit my hand. That part is easy. Shift your thumb slightly and you can't put a catcher's mitt on your hand.
