On June 15, 1995, inside the Los Angeles Superior Court, prosecutor Christopher Darden made a decision that would reshape the trajectory of the most watched murder trial in American history. He asked O.J. Simpson to stand before the jury and try on a pair of bloody leather gloves — the same gloves prosecutors argued had been worn by a killer on the night Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were stabbed to death outside Nicole's Brentwood home.
The gloves had been found the morning after the June 12, 1994 murders. One was recovered at Nicole Brown Simpson's residence at 875 South Bundy Drive in Brentwood; its match turned up at Simpson's Rockingham estate just miles away. Both were identified as Aris extra-fine leather gloves, saturated with blood that DNA analysis tied to both victims. The inside of the gloves, prosecutors maintained, also bore traces matching Simpson himself — placing his hands, they argued, inside the evidence.
For months, the prosecution had built its case around the gloves as the connective thread between crime scene and defendant. Since the night of the murders, however, the gloves had sat in storage — kept in paper bags rather than sealed containers. By the time of the demonstration fourteen months later, the defense would argue that this oversight mattered enormously.
