New Details About Glove In O.J. Simpson Surface
- 8 years ago
Los Angeles’ former district attorney has said during a Thursday interview with Good Morning America that his team was “never supposed to ask O.J. to try on the glove.”
New insights about O.J. Simpson’s murder trial continue to be revealed more than 20 years after the event.
ABC News is reporting that Gil Garcetti, who was the district attorney of Los Angeles at the time, stated on Thursday’s "Good Morning America" that the glove test “was never supposed to happen.”
He says about the main prosecutors on the case, “Chris Darden and Marcia Clarke were never supposed to ask O.J. to try on the glove.”
Garcetti goes on to explain, “[O.J.] had probably been working out his hand, developing muscle in his hand and we knew that the glove would shrink. It’d been in the elements. It’s leather.”
But Garcetti also notes that he learned something new while watching the forthcoming “O.J.: Made In America” documentary by ESPN.
He says, “What we didn’t know until I saw it on this film was that O.J. Simpson was taking arthritic medication for his hands and he was told if you stop taking this arthritic medication, your hands will swell. Your joints will stiffen. My God.”
Garcetti had also revealed in an interview with the New York Post two months ago that he had not intended to give Marcia Clarke the case but she wanted to do it, and the man he was considering was having health problems.
