Now you know that is not true. you must be kidding.
There is absolutely no way that Rubin knew what size those gloves were before the murders.
There is no way to know if all of the size xlarge gloves were the exact same size in inches. lenght is not the only measurement to be considered when determining what size hand will fit a particular glove. imo
martin ii
martin II, I see no reason why the judge would not have allowed Simpson to put the gloves on after Rubin finished refurbishing them, since all he did was warm and stretch them back out to close to their original size, That is what anyone would do if they were their gloves and they wanted them to fit properly. But I guess we'll never know since it never came up. Once Baker saw what Rubin did he wouldn't let Simpson go near the gloves.
Rubin knew the standard size that those extra large gloves were manufactured to. When he measured the gloves in the condition they were found they were about 10% to 11% smaller than the standard.
I believe what Rubin testified to when he answered questions from both sides about these gloves. Rubin's opinions were were reasonable and credible. I'm sorry but I don't believe that you have any knowledge about these particular gloves except what you imagine. Your opinions about them have no credibility.

You are repeating yourself.
the gloves did not get wet
the gloves did not shrink from age
the gloves did not fit.
Rubin was a hired gun that had a interest in trying to find a way to support the prosecutions theory. Since there was no provable way, he tried to play games with his measuring tape and his massage exhibition in front of the jury.
i don't think i have ever heard of a case where a judge allowed the prosecution or defense to manipulate the evidence to prove their point. If this civil judge had allowed this, then the world would have known for sure that the judge had a agenda to get oj convicted.imo
PS
What procedural court rules do you know under ca law that would have allowed the judge to do this?

How do you know that the gloves did not shrink over time?
How do you know that the gloves did not fit? You put great value in the jury being able to see and judge witnesses for telling the truth by their appearance and/or demeanor and they even said the gloves fit.

My quesiton was to bob since he said the judge would allow the demonstration in the civil trial.
i personally have never known a judge to allow any party to conduct a demonstraiton using evidence that has been manipulated by either side. do you know of one/case?
one cannot say the gloves got wet without proof and expect anyone to belive it.
RUBIN said 3 cc of liquid would not cause the gloves to shrink.i agree with him on that point.

Martin,
The judge in the money trial would NOT allow O.J. to try on the gloves in closing arguements.As Petroselli objected.I posted all the details as reported by Dan Abrams on CTV from my videotape,on another thread months ago.Yet one continues to insist otherwise despite the facts.

Mr. August,
Those telephone records, or any other piece of evidence does have "dignity" rules. This is a record that can either confirm what is believed or contradict what has been called a fact.
I have always, always defended the Browns' on what they sold during the trial. However, I believe it is a fair question to ask where was this dignity when these items were being sold?
Also, you continue focus only the Browns' telephone record. Was their more then one? And what about the other phone records?
If I remember correctly, you like other G's have posted that you didn't want to believe he did it. In fact, someone of you didn't believe it until the criminal trial. And when you came to your conclusion that OJ Simpson was guilty, it wasn't easy for you. I don't believe any G was hoping OJ did it, I don't think any G was happy that he did it--yet, how can you maintain this, when there are records that could make or break the case for either side?
Another point regarding the Browns' dignity, should their dignity take first place over the truth? Should their dignity be allowed to over shadow Sydney and Justin's future?
There is no doubt the Simpsons' came to love OJ Simpson as a son. Wouldn't you think they would do anything they could to at least have some relief that this man they loved did not kill their daughter? That while they were always be angry at OJ for his behavior but at least they could have a little bit of comfort, at least for the sake of their grandchildren. IMO.

GG,
That is the million dollar question(s) on these phone calls. We know what time Simpson called Nicole to speak with Sydney. I do know that Faye gave a wrong time and then covered herself.
We know about what time the little girl was picked up and it is obvious that Nicole did not display any type of distressed. Faye says that she knew Ron was coming over, but if that is the truth then she had to talk to Nicole after her phone calls regarding the glasses.
What I find interesting is that many people have assumed, regardless if it was Simpson or whoever, that Sydney could have only been talking about one phone call---but maybe she wasn't. Maybe she fighting during one phone call was crying during the next.

limakey, of course we're focusing only on the Brown's telephone records because those are the telephone records that Big Ben has made his false claim about.
You ask how can I maintain this when there are records that could make or break this case for either side? It's easy for me because there is no and never has been an 11:00 PM telephone call from Juditha Brown to Nicole on the Brown's telephone bill. Both Ron and Nicole were dead well before 11:00 PM that night.
What you should be asking yourself is why didn't even one of Simpson's criminal trial attorneys ever support this request or make any comment about it. They saw the Brown's actual telephone records. They examined them and checked them out. They stipulated to them as being accurate. If there was any doubt in their mind that this claim had any inkling of credibility don't you think they would have jumped all over it?
And what about Simpson's civil trial attorneys? Wouldn't you think that they would jump all over this if it had even a minute chance of being real? Not one of Simpson's civil trial attorneys ever supported or made any comment about this. Do you really think every one of Simpson's attorneys are participating in a giant conspiracy to hide this?
The 11:00 PM telephone call is pure bull crap. There is no reason that the Brown's should respond to it.

how about the possibility that nicole could have talked to Fye and the conversation had something to do with fays drug debt. and or
maby the call could have been from one of fays friends, strangers, that nicole talked about in that 'LETTER'
Faye living at nicoles house, strangers come into nicoles house to see faye that nicole does not like.
Faye is freebasing (she says twice a day. i think it was like she smoked as long as she had product in front of her) at nicoles house so i assume that the strangers were delivering Faye drugs.
Faye not working, Nicole decides that she has had enopugh and organizes a intervention for faye.
Faye runs from nicoles to the rahab leaving her drug debt unpaid.
Nicole is killed.

Big Ben, you imagine conspiracies everywhere. Cochran and Clark conspiring. Judge Ito conspiring.
Well Bob, they do happen. The U.S. government certainly believes in them. You can get more time for promulgating a conspiracy to commit murder, than the individual appointed to do the murder.
I don't know what you find to be so pristine about Cochran and Clark that they wouldn't participate in such a conspiratorial escapade. I previously cited how English lawyers were creating a new method of determining the cause of death via stipulation in order to get at set aside funds of the big whaling fleets. The preeminent legal author Wigamore on Evidence, talks about it in his treatisease on the subject matter regarding the legitimate use of stipulations.
You didn't know Johnnie Cochran before the Simpson trial, and neither did I, but he created the largest law practise using his name exclusively in the U.S. after the Simpson trial. For one to become the biggest whatever is usually an adequate incentive, I'd think.
Marcia Clark, was a struggling, Deputy District Attorney, amongst the approx. 2,000+or-, in L.A. County. How many of them do you know that become overnight multimillionaires. So I would again contend that this trial, like politics, was set to produce a great deal of "PORK" if it were to go forth.
Oftentimes, certain individuals believe that the potential penalties are far outweighed by the potential rewards.
So do I see potential conspiracies? After doing my home work, Bob, I guess that I do.
Finally I never put the words in quotation marks that you attribute me alleging Cochran said. However, I do believe that my paraphrasing of what Cochran said is extremely accurate.
The conclusion of he, (Cochran), reminding the judge that they were withholding the phone records from the jury, in light of the actual hidden records, is certainly most appropriate. We will never know until we see the actual records from the unbiased third party vendor, GTE/Verizon Telephone Company.
Quit telling limakey that the actual records were presented to the jury, they were not. Until said records are examined for their authenticity by the jury you have no way of proving or concluding that they are not fraudulent. Given what has arisen regarding the Brown's improbable journey time between Brentwood and Dana Point, the phone records are probably erroneous documents.

Triumph of Justice; Petrocelli; p419: This is from the videotaped deposition of Brenda Vemich: "Vemich authenticated a sales receipt showing that Nicole purchased two pairs of Airs Leather Light gloves, extra large, at the New York store on December 18, 1990. Based on her examination of the murder gloves as well as photographs, she testified that they were, in fact, Airs Leather Light gloves, extra large, the type sold at Bloomingdale's in December 1990. We showed her varius photographs taken of Simpson wearing gloves at football games, and she said those gloves appeared to be Airs Leather Lights."
Same page; narrative: "We then introduced testimony from the photographers who took the photos of Simpson wearing the Leather Light gloves while broadcasting football games. The photos showed Simpson wearing both brown and black gloves in rainy weather, which could be used to help explain the gloves shrinking."
"Richard Rubin was the former general manager and vice president of Airis and an expert on the gloves. Rubin was prepared to say positively that the gloves found at the murder scene and at Rockingham were the same glove type as those Simpson wore in the photos. . . .Rubin explained to us that those gloves had been sitting in evidence for a year and a half, they hadn't been stretched, they hadn't been warmed or worn."

Petrocelli goes on to talk about Rubin's testimony and his manipulating the gloves to make them more pliable and finally slipping one on his hand. After that, Baker wasn't about to let orenthal try the gloves on. He could have -- his attorney did not have him do it.

Anyway, oj had already tried on the gloves in front of the world in the criminal trial and the world saw that they did not fit.
why would he try the gloves on again after Rubin sat on the stand trying his best to OVERSTREATCH the gloves.

Big Ben, it's not that I find anything pristine about Cochran and Clark, the fact is if there was some kind of conspiracy to hide an 11:00 PM telephone call than that conspiracy would involve a lot more people than just Cochran and Clark. A huge amount of people. From GTE to every attorney in this case. To all the witnesses who testified to events that happened.
A giant unrealistic conspiracy for what reason? To get Simpson by ignoring documented proof of his innocence? Nothing you have said makes any sense. The only thing that is clear about your fantasy beliefs is that you evidently understand that based on all of the known evidence Simpson was proved to be the killer. So you promote this fantasy 11:00 PM telephone call and blame Simpson's attorneys for somehow selling him out. Funny.
The fact is it was Vannatter who called Clark involving her in this case, asking her about the search warrant he was writing. David Conn, Clarks boss, later offered her the case.
The fact is no telephone records were hidden. Your distorted interpretation of what Cochran actually said is based only on your deceiving tactic of taking Cochran words out of context. It's you who is conspiring. Conspiring to play dumb and make ridiculous claims.
I told limakey the truth that the jury was shown the prosecution exhibit.
Did the jury see Kato Kaelin's telephone records?
Did the jury see the limousine telephone records?
Did the jury see Simpson's telephone records?
As far as I know the ONLY telephone records that were shown to the criminal trial jury was the enlarged copy of the Brown's telephone records.
The Brown's driving time between Brentwood and Dana Point was not improbable. You created a fantasy based on incorrect estimated times of when they started that drive and then claim that their is something wrong with telephone records that document and support what the witnesses from the Mezzaluna and Juditha Brown testified to about the telephone calls from Juditha and Nicole.
Everything you claim is based on some kind of reverse logic where fantasy is real and reality is fake.

Believe it or not several of the prosecution's witnesses have some of the most assinine contradictions in their testimony that, for all intent an purposes, would have either exonerated Simpson at the very beginning or created serious reasonable doubt, starting with that of Steven Schwab, and his inital 11:15 PM akita sighting.
California is noted for their massive conspiracies, remember Coentelpro?
The problem with you is that you want me to sit back and time after time allow you to provide plausible excuses for individuals who recant their initial testimony, whereby the net effect is to ultimately destroy the reputation of this man Simpson. I could go along with one, maybe two, but you wind up having to develop pitiful excuses for everyone, Bob.
A giant unrealistic conspiracy for what reason? To get Simpson?....
Maybe to get you, Bob. The net effect of the psychic impact upon the nation that the Simpson case has had on America has been astounding to say the least.
The Simpson trial appears to be an experimental exercise to explore the volatility of the American mind and how to control it.
This matter may ultimately have been related to post 9/11 events.

Big Ben, all witness may make mistakes when trying to recall details about something that wasn't important to them at the time it happened. That's not signs of a conspiracy, that's reality. There were no contradictions in what Schwab testified to.
The police woke Schwab up pounding on his door a about 5:00 AM. When they told him that the dog he found was somehow connected to a homicide Schwab explained how he was nervous and scared. When he was asked approximately what time he found the dog he said he was confused and at that point rattled off a couple of different times. He was not clear as to what time the events had taken place. He said he wasn't even clear what day it was at that point.
Schwab explained the first time he mentioned was 11:30 and then he said no, it must have been around 11:00. He said he was trying to get a fix on it vaguely but every one who was there were all cross talking. After the brief interview he went back to bed and when he later woke up he remembered more clearly what the sequence of events was. Schwab said he then called the police and told them he gave an inaccurate statement and wanted to correct it.
When the Akita was following Schwab and his dog waked home he said he saw a police car drive by and he flagged it down. He told the patrol officer about the Akita because he was concerned about the lost dog. The officer told him he should continue home and not to worry, he would take car of it.
That police officer later came forward when he heard about Schwab's testimony and realize it was him. The report that he made at the time of the encounter with Schwab supported what Schwab testified to and was given to the defense to review. Clark would have called the officer to testify if the defense had any questions about it. They didn't and he was never called.
The reality is that there was no grand conspiracy involving the attorneys, the police, and the witnesses in this case. The problem here is you and your inability to comprehend reality, trying to blame everyone else but the actual killer in this case, Orenthal James Simpson.
Your comments how the Simpson trial appears to you to be "an experimental exercise to explore the volatility of the American mind and how to control it." and that your fantasy conspiracy "may ultimately have been related to post 9/11 events" is so off the wall that I'm not sure I even want to ask you to explain what you mean.
You are so lost in la la land, that I'm actually embarrassed for you.

anyone that watched the trial live on tv was in a better position to judge the demeanor and attitude of the witnesses as opposed to someone that read the transcripts.
The jury was there every day and observed every witness so this puts them in a better position than you who did not watch the trial live on tv. imo

On what day did Judge Fujisaki not allow Simpson to try on the gloves and when do you think Petrocelli objected to it?
Lets hear some specifics please, A clarification and a date would help to support what you're trying to say.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't fit. It means it can fit differently. And, would you agree that if someone were to buy a pair for someone without having the person there to try them on they would get the same size as all the other gloves the person has?

tazzy hi
yes
If i were to buy some gloves for my daughter i would ask her what size she wears and she would proberbly say size small in most gloves.
Depending on the manufacture and the specs. they used in making the gloves the gloves may or may not fit.
Gloves are one of the most retured items to stores after christmans and the reason is mostly fit problems imo

tazzy ii
nope. it means that gloves made by company A exlarge may not fit because the specs are smaller. There are three measurement used in making gloves. Length from top to tip of fingers--height of
each glove finger and width of glove fingers.(and the position of the thunb cup)
This measurement varies from one manufacturer to another. so all gloves marked ex large do not fit all ex large hands. Therefore the requirement in many instances that the gloves be tried on. imo

Big Ben, all witness may make mistakes when trying to recall details about something that wasn't important to them at the time it happened. That's not signs of a conspiracy, that's reality. There were no contradictions in what Schwab testified to.
Your comments how the Simpson trial appears to you to be "an experimental exercise to explore the volatility of the American mind and how to control it." and that your fantasy conspiracy "may ultimately have been related to post 9/11 events" is so off the wall that I'm not sure I even want to ask you to explain what you mean.
You are so lost in la la land, that I'm actually embarrassed for you.
Bob, I was merely trying to respond to your limited presumptive question: "A giant unrealistic conspiracy for what reason? To get to Simpson?"
I know, better than you, that presenting broader subjective theories, that might be algorithmically connected by objectivity, may simply be to formidable for those who are plagued with severe miopic disorders. I thought that your lead-in gave me an opportunity to try though, no matter how unproductive.
Never-the-less, we did not include in the documentary video segments immediately post 9/11, of Jay Leno jokingly comparing islamic costumed images of the alleged murderer, O.J. Simpson to Osama Bin Laden to his millions of viewers.
Nor did we include an extended discussion of Fox News' Judge Napolitano comparing a hypothetical trial of Osama Bin Laden to that of O.J. Simpson if held in the U.S. The results of the Simpson aftermath in the media and that of 9/11 unquestionably has poisoned the minds of millions of Americans. The toxin has sink deeply into the psyche of our deepest taboo, that which concerns our stereotypes regarding race and skin color.
Historically this has been the easiest way in America to lead a group of people in a normally resistant direction, simply by throwing a rock at the crowd and pointing in the direction of someone who doesn't look like them, and shouting emphatically, 'He did it!'
I doubt that under normal circumstances the U.S. citizenry would vote to give up all of their Federally protected guarantees via "The Patriots Act" other than by a form of unbeknownst contrived emotional manipulation.
You have a very steely, hard core determination, concealed in the feeble mind of a cyclops. Undoubtedly, it appears to serve you well in the simple day-to-day environment that you find yourself. However, I'm afraid that despite your protests of incredibility, the mountain of contradictions and conflicts will continue to challenge your neatly packaged elementary conclusions regarding the Simpson case.

court tv
Richard Rubin, a former executive of Aris Isotoner, identified the gloves worn by Simpson during his broadcasting days as extra-large Aris Lights, a model featuring a lighter weight leather and special stitching.
Rubin, testifying for a fourth time in the trial, said that only 300 pairs of the gloves were manufactured, and that between 200 and 240 were sold, in 1990, all of those at Bloomingdale's.
The state contends that Nicole Brown Simpson bought her husband two pairs of Aris gloves -- color and size unspecified by the sales slip -- in December 1990.
But on cross-examination, Rubin conceded that he could not say the gloves from the videotapes were the same as those retrieved from South Bundy Drive and North Rockingham Avenue. Defense attorney Robert Blasier also suggested that Rubin was prejudiced against Simpson. He produced a letter from the witness to prosecutors saying, "Maybe I can make it to the victory party."
Blasier also suggested that Rubin did not try to determine whether similar gloves could have been made elsewhere, such as in Europe.

Big Ben, you sure have one heck of an imagination. You have taken one mistaken time estimate as to when a telephone call was made given by grieving parents after learning about the brutal murder of their daughter and blown it up to some giant conspiracy by the media and the government of our country to deceive the American public. Wow.
A time estimate that these parents later realized was wrong and changed. A time estimate proved to be wrong by telephone records, and by the facts relating to that telephone call that every witness in this case testified to including the victims mother.
But it seems you don't let small things like the truth get in the way of your fantasies. You just continue to deny the reality of the simple facts in this case by offering delusional conspiracies blaming everyone in the world for these murders except for the one person who actually committed them, Orenthal James Simpson.
Nice job.

I have taken a mariad of irregular coincidences in the Simpson case that, taken as a whole, create a probability number well beyond that of the billion-to-one statistics for OJ's alleged DNA.
There was no need for these continuous revisions of time testimony, along with the resistance subsequently by the Browns, encouraged by others, to prevent an unbiased investigative examination of the particular time discrepancy associated with this matter.
The OMIG investigators had no axe to grind, however, the sound of the nay sayers and public lynchmen was resounding as a result of an innocent inquiry. The outcry has simply exaccerbated what was heretofore a miniscule point of review. Now we must see, along with the millions who feel the same outrage.
As I said to you before, do not allow your cyclopic eye to narrow your perspective. You look very foolish sticking your finger in the dike as the wall you so valiantly attempt to protect is on the verge of crumbling, the seige of the driven forces, threaten to sweep you away.

Even the jurors weren't fooled by Simpson :rolleyes:
The book plays down the importance of the now-infamous glove demonstration, however, in which prosecutor Christopher Darden had Simpson try on the evidence gloves found at his estate and at the crime scene. The gloves appeared not to fit, but the jurors said they weren't convinced.
"Those gloves fit," Bess wrote. "He wasn't putting them on right."
"Sure," added Rubin-Jackson, "you know, they fit. ... I must have had an expression on my face because as he stood there, it was like he was talking to me, and he went, 'They don't fit.' They would have fit anybody."

Mr. August,
How did the police know the dog Swab found was somehow connected the murders?
And you are wrong about the cops that he flagged down, at least according to Marcia Clark. She said the cop went on vacation or something like that and never knew it was an issue until much later. I believe her question to him, was something like, "what was he watching, the weather channel".
Now, the couple who found the dog may have told the police who Scwab was and where he lived, however, they were pounding on his door before the cops went to Rockingham?
And as far as I know, no one from the animal shelter nor the police officers testified about night.
Another point, didn't the lady across the street call the cops about the dog? So another fair question is why were the police in that area, at that time? Was it their normal patrol route? Did they respond to a telephone about bodies on the west side? Were they responding to the old lady's call about barking dog?
Which was it?
limakey
11-14-2006, 10:01 PM
Mr. August,
Simpson's defense team may have or may not have known about these telephone records. However, they still had to follow their client's wishes. Mr. Simpson would not budge from this, he refused to let Sydney take the stand.
At that time of the prelim hearing, maybe those were the only phone calls available at the time. However, what do Nicole's records say? They could have shown the Browns' phone records every single day, however, it doesn't mean that no one made a call to or from Nicole's home after you say she was dead.
Very simple logic, a phone call from Nicole to her mother would not show up on her Parent's telephone bill.

limakey, the patrol officers suspected the dog was connected to the murders when they saw blood on the dog and Boztep told them the dog led him and his wife to Nicole's house.
Schwab didn't flag down cops. He flagged down one officer. That officer made a report at the time but never associated the incident with the Simpson case until he heard about Schwab's testimony in the criminal trial. He then came forward.
Ron Phillips sent Brad Roberts to interview Boztep and his wife while the West LA detectives were waiting for the Robbery Homicide detectives to arrive at Bundy.
Well you got one partially right, no one from the animal shelter testified about the Akita but Officer Riske did.
Yes the lady across the street did call the police about the Akita that was barking and running back and forth across the street.. Elsie Tistaert testified that the police told her to call Animal Shelter but the line was busy and she never got through to them. So she .just tried ignoring the noise. She went to bed but after midnight someone was ringing her door bell and that scared her so she called 911. After reporting it she stayed on the line with 911 waiting for someone to arrive when they eventually told her that there was something big going on across the street and they would send one of the officers over to her house. She didn't know that it was Boztep who had been ringing her door bell after he discovered the bodies.
Riske and Terrazas were responding to the 911 call when they were flagged down by Boztep.

limakey, do you have any idea what Big Ben is claiming?
;
It sure sounds like you don't by your comments.
The prosecution obtained the Brown's telephone records during the preliminary hearing and presented them in open court. They turned them over to Simpson's attorneys to examine and check out. In the preliminary hearing and then in the criminal trial Simpson's attorneys made and accepted several stipulations regarding these telephone records. They knew what calls were on them and what time those calls were made that's why they agreed to those stipulations.
After learning of his daughter's death Lou Brown was interviewed by the coroner investigator Claudine Ratcliffe. Lou Brown told Ratcliffe that his wife last talked to Nicole about 11:00 PM when she called Nicole telling her about her eyeglasses that were found at the restaurant. Lou Brown was mistaken about the 11:00 time.
Karen Crawford testified in the grand jury that Juditha Brown called her about the missing eyeglasses between 9:30 and 9:45 PM. She testified she found the eyeglasses in the street in front of the restaurant. She said Juditha Brown told her that Nicole would pick them up. Crawford testified that about five minutes after that telephone call Nicole called about the eyeglasses and asked to speak to Ron Goldman. Before Ron left work about ten minutes to 10: 00 PM he asked Crawford for the eyeglasses telling her he was going to drop them off at Nicole's.
When the prosecutors obtained the Brown's telephone records from GTE they showed she had called the Mezzaluna Restaurant at 9:37 PM and then called Nicole at 9:40 PM. That was the last time she ever spoke with Nicole. Juditha Brown testified to those facts as well as starting their drive back home at 8:30 PM. Both Shapiro and Cochran stipulated that those times were accurate. Judge Ito told the jury that when the attorneys agree to to a certain fact they are to accept that as evidence in this case.
Big Ben believes that the time of 11:00 PM was the real time that Juditha Brown called and spoke with Nicole and the Juditha and every other witness who testified about this all lied. He claims it was all a conspiracy by the prosecutors, Simpson attorneys, the judge, GTE, and all of the witnesses and it proves Simpson innocent because he was, as Big Ben claims, in the limousine going to the airport at 11:00 PM.
Got it?

The book plays down the importance of the now-infamous glove demonstration, however, in which prosecutor Christopher Darden had Simpson try on the evidence gloves found at his estate and at the crime scene. The gloves appeared not to fit, but the jurors said they weren't convinced.
"Those gloves fit," Bess wrote. "He wasn't putting them on right."
"Sure," added Rubin-Jackson, "you know, they fit. ... I must have had an expression on my face because as he stood there, it was like he was talking to me, and he went, 'They don't fit.' They would have fit anybody."

Anyone, make your case about placing OJ in them at the murder site...........

Kate,
I think there is a huge misconception regarding the police's conduct during the Simpson case. First and foremost, no one has a problem with OJ Simpson being the prime suspect in this case. Those officers had every reason to believe that he was somehow involved in this and from what, IMO, they knew early on, OJ's departure to Chicago was just a tad too pat for them.
There is not a shred of doubt in my mind that those officers as well as the four lead detectives believed that OJ Simpson was the killer. They had too much on their side not to have this feeling.
However, you have to remember that the LAPD and the DA's laid all their cards on the media's table before the prelim hearing was even started. How can the DA of LA make a second round of television interviews explaining all of his misinformation? How do you go back and say, "well, it has come to our attention that evidence was missed at the crime scenes and it appears that Mr. Simpson may have had an accomplice?"
Were they out to get OJ Simpson, IMO, no, I think they were out to get the person who they believed murdered Ron and Nicole and when key evidence was a total no show, when the glove detective had more baggage then the LA airport, they knew they were in trouble.
I don't believe Vanatter, Philips and Lange had any other motive then getting the guy they believed did it. I'm sure that if you sat down with any experienced, hardened detective they will all tell the same story, that rage, murder, greed, hate, lust is pretty much equal across the board. A cop from a huge city like LA and NYC will also tell you that a person's fame and wealth doesn't make them more then a human being, above committing any crime. Which is why I find the excuse given to police that they were "star struck" is very, very lame. Sure, no one wants to believe a famous person could almost cut off the head of their ex, but do we really want to believe that even a poor person could do the same? Aren't you just as sickened by child abuse in rich families as you are in poor families? Different weapons maybe used, the results are always the same. IMO.

I'm using your words, filled with your own exuberance. He "ran", that's what you said.
When I saw him he must have been headed for the border of Canada, doing 40 MPH with 9 or 10 police cars doing 35 MPH behind him, because he was going north on the I-405.
Just try to make your point, without the hyperbole. You're not talking to a society that didn't have access to a visual media, we all saw the Bronco "chase" or whatever you want to call it.
O.J. in my opinion was simply another Hollywood celebrity like most of the others that have been used to special treatment in regard to turning themselves in to the Law. This isn't the first time, California laws were made to protect the investment of movie producers and their star/celebrities .
That is why GTE (California) could use an obscure California law that GTE (Texas) was unaware of to protect the Brown's phone records from being subpoenaed from the San Angelo, TX archive dept. of GTE, Inc. A law virtually unheard of in any other state in the U.S. So Simpson wasn't getting anything different than many other
celebrities who have gotten into trouble in Southern California, especially.

That would indicate that the prosecution was not sure of their own results or that they suspected that Simpson may have contacted a disease, which they had not tested for, from the gloves. Either way it suggests a weakeness in their case, imho.

If memory serves me correctly i think the prosecution did not want to chance that the gloves would be contaminated during the demo. imo
However with those xx large MITS on the end of ojs wrist, those gloves would not have fit even if Darden had greased ojs hands first.

Wrong. The reason that Simpson wore latex gloves was that Cochran demanded it as part of his agreement to let Simpson put the murder gloves on.
June 15, 1995
MR. COCHRAN: Well, the only problem is that I wouldn't want--he would have to have gloves on underneath--I mean try the gloves on without the rubber gloves, that he use the latex gloves we used. And I'd like to approach--we'd like to approach. We have one other item I would like to put on the record.
THE COURT: Sure. Don't go away, Mr. Rubin.
(The following proceedings were held at the bench:)
THE COURT: We're over at the sidebar.
MR. COCHRAN: With regard to this, I think that this is an inappropriate time for it. I think it's inappropriate at this point. My client has no objection basically, but the problem is, he doesn't want to do it with the TV cameras trained on him, all that sort of thing. I think that--I'm not sure how I want to phrase this objection. First of all, I don't want him to have to do it without having latex gloves on, and I think the evidence is such that I would like to ask more questions of this witness. This witness says he thinks anything from a medium to extra large is going to fit him. That will be helpful to us.

Big Ben/Bob,
I have been travelling the past few weeks and have not had time to post. I had read the discussion between you concerning the size of the BM footprints at Bundy. If I recall, Ben had taken the position that the shoes were not size 12 because the whole footprint left on the walk was smaller. Ben apparantly did not understand that the shoe size was not ultimately determined by the total length of the shoe print in blood left behind by the person donning the shoes.
The size was determined by measuring the pattern on the bottom of the shoe. All sizes of the Silga sole had the same exact pattern. The only difference was the aspect ratio of the pattern, or the distance between the parallel lines in the pattern. The measurement between the lines of the pattern are different for each size and the pattern of the bloody footprint matched the Silga sole in size 12 (43 if you prefer). The overall length of the bloody footprint had nothing to do with determining the exact shoe size in the end.
The bloody footprints at Bundy were left by a Bruno Magli, American size 12, of which the percentages tell us were statistically in favor of being worn by OJ Simpson.

Wukong, thanks, I also posted Bodziak's testimony where he explained how he determined the size of the shoes using patterns over the impressions. Bodziak also explained how the heels are distinctly different and no other heel in the other sizes could have made that impression.
The only other poster I ever heard make that same argument of measuring a partial imprint by comparing it to the size of the tiles the impression was photographed on was our old buddy Prien. Prien also argued the fictitious 11:00 PM telephone call. I don't believe that Big Ben is Prien since Big Ben is far more articulate than Prien, but I wonder which one of these geniuses was the originator of the partial shoe print theory that they both think proves Simpson couldn't have left them. My money is on Prien.

Yeah, sure. If that's the case, then why...
"In the Ford Bronco, detectives had found a travel bag containing among other things, Simpson's passport, a disguise kit consisting of a fake moustache and beard and a .357 magnum revolver. Cowling was also found to be carrying $8,000 in cash, which had been given to him by Simpson..."

What was the name of the criminologist who originally measured those gloves right after the murder? I have the transcripts somewhere on my computer but it would take my too long to find that part of the transcript. She testified as to the measurements of the gloves and amazingly they were actually measured smaller than they were on the day of the demonstration in court.
So I gather they didn't shrink but actually got bigger.

The prosecution was able to object to the use of laytex, if they were sure that there was no communicable disease in the blood or that the glove definitively belonged to Simpson. The fact that they did not object suggests that they were on a fishing expedition, which, in the view of the majority of reasonable thinking people I have spoken with, backfired.

Obviously this is not a very common shoe. But it seems OJ owned a pair, go figure. There was a photograph of him wearing them in a Bills publication 6 months before the murders.
But as you so succinctly pointed out, I can not put OJ in those shoes with 100% certainty. But then again, you can't put anyone else in them either. What I can't figure out is how these rare shoes just happened to be owned by both OJ and the "Killer". What are the odds?
It was proven that Nicole often gave OJ's clothing and shoes to Charity, Wukong. It was very interesting that one of those receipients was a guy named Mark Furhman (No relation to THE Mark Furhman). Hollywood is a small world, eh? Who knows where clothing of the stars and celebrities go. They certainly don't hang onto them until thread bare. In fact after looking at the shoe prints it appears to me that someone with a very large foot tried to wear those shoes that were running over. "Foot too fat for shoe." or...shoe was broken down and running over. JMO
but I don't think the shoes prove anything. OJ most likely was not in them.

I've seen Simpson's appendages and I can assure you his foot even without the aid of a tennis shoe will not fit inside those tiles. I think that it is highly disengenuous of you to attempt to downplay the evidence that the FBI agent himself states in his book. If he had honestly presented that info at trial about 19 different U2887 possibilities, it would have plundered the prosecution's case. Even the L.A. Times treated the assertion of the discovered 19 shoe brands more seriously than you are, so stop your subjective rambling about something some of these charlatans have said under oath.

I don't know Mario from Adam, but this important information seems like a bombshell to me and I am pretty skeptical that something wasn't done about it. :shrug:
Also, if AC's girlfriend told her that "evidence was sitting at the bottom of a lake," why wasn't he interrogated by the LAPD? And why was he allowed to go on his merry way without so much as being charged as an "accessory to murder, double-murder?" :shrug:

What would be difficult in researching that? Since AC's girlfriend was busted in Dunsmuir, it seems feasible the bag would have been thrown into Shasta Lake in Northern California. Wow.

Zold1, it wasn't Nicole who gave Simpson's clothing away, it was Simpson. The Fuhrman he was talking about was a door man at his New York apartment.

The fact is that Bruno Magli Lorenzo shoes are consistent with making those bloody shoe prints. We know that Simpson wore those exact size and make shoes. The fact that Simpson lied under oath about wearing Bruno Magli Lorenzo shoes he was shown wearing in a photograph and was then impeached by thirty additional authenticated photographs confirms his guilt.

martin II, the prosecutors office had nothing to do with it.
Clark wrote about this in her book. She knew that the defense would probably ask for Simpson to wear a pair of latex gloves underneath. Since the AIDS crisis, anything bloodstained required protection. She believed latex would screw the fit up so they had asked Aris to send them duplicates of their Airs Leather Lights, extra large, just like the ones found at the crime scene to try on Simpson when the time was right.
Rubin was Darden's witness and Clark didn't know until that morning that Rubin was going to testify. She asked Darden where the duplicate gloves were, but he didn't know. So she started asking others and was told they were on the way to the court. The box arrived and Darden told the court he wanted to question Rubin first to establish that the new gloves were the exact same size, make, and model as the killer's gloves.
When Darden took the gloves out of the box and showed them to Rubin, Rubin said they were Aris gloves but not Aris Light gloves. Darden had never checked them out ahead of time but he still wanted to go ahead and let Simpson try on the actual murder gloves. Clark argued with him saying that the Latex would will screw the fit up and they can't do this. She told him lets wait and do it when they get the right gloves. Darden insisted they go ahead..
Clark kept arguing, "Don't do it. This is a trap!" Darden wouldn't listen saying, "This is my witness, and I say we have to put them on him now before they do."
Cochran of course had no objection but laid down his terms that Simpson wear latex gloves.

One of those photographs was published in a monthly publication seven months before the murders.

I wasn't aware they had investigated anyone else, Bob. Heading for Rockingham and climbing the fence led me to believe they already had it figured out by the time they got there. I surely wish that bloody fingerprint on the back gate had not been supressed, don't you?

Irregardless I think too much time was spent talking about shoes and boy scout knives. They are irrelevant unless you can put the man at the scene of the crime with a boy scout knife in his hand. They couldn't do that and they couldn't prove OJ did anything to anyone. Nicole had way too much baggage and lived a dangerous life which included a new boyfriend that even Faye Resnick could not name. The threats Nicole received and the secrecy of the stalker that Mark Furhman and Vanatter investigated prior to the homicides were such a secret that to this day no one knows who the stalker was.
There was more left UNSAID about this case than the foolish crap presented by Clark and Darden. Ichabod.

Were they the only Bruno Maglis ever purchased in that size? And where was it established that the shoes were purchased by OJ?
And how does one decide the size of shoes from a picture?:confused:
And why didn't the prosecution use those photos in the criminal trial since they obviously were aware of their existence?

StarShine, the prosecution was not aware of those photographs in the criminal trial.
Triumph of Justice,
"Scull had taken a marvelous picture of Simpson. In a phenomenal stroke of good luck for us and rotten luck for Simpson the print in the end zone reflected up from the ground and revealed the pattern on the sole of the right shoe. After receiving permission from the FBI we gave the print to Bill Bodziak. Using high resolution photography
techniques Bodziak was able to blow up the photo and actually see the Silga sole treads, the same pattern as the bloody shoeprints leading down the footpath away from Nicole's and Ron's bodies.
Bodziak explained how he used eighteen points of comparison between the shoe in that photograph and a Bruno Magli exemplar and found them to be exactly the same."
Bodziak didn't determine the size of the shoes from the photograph. It was determined Simpson wore size 12 shoes by Simpson's other shoes. as well as the shoe salesman who sold Simpson shoes.

Well, Bob, OJ Simpson asked the Courts to order the telephone company to produce the records. We had him ask the U.S. Dist. Court in San Angelo, TX where the California GTE hard drive had been spirited off to in the wake of the criminal trial. Answer: No.
We asked the U.S. Dist. Court in Los Angeles, they said maybe, but first go back to the California trial court.
The California judge said no.
The Brown famiily initially said yes to the offer, then after 4 days to decide they said no.
You have nothing that has not already been vigorously contradicted. To think that you would condone the behavior of these law enforcement officials to remove these records from his criminal file without ever giving him an audience or considerable courtesy that they were being removed. [/B]
OMG, this just :flamemad: me off. I screamed for years about the way Rampart conducted themselves. We've discussed it for years and when the Feds finally called a Ricco I was relieved. Mark Furhman knows more than he has opened up to state and Vanatter and Phillips have some "splaining" to do. They are busy putting Furhman down as a "greenhorn." Wet behind the ears, snot nosed know nothing. They will rue the day they didn't let him in. His partner Brad Roberts is really yet to be heard from. He's allegedly the one who "found" all of the evidence Phillips and Vanatter say they found, cutting out the peons. After all they were big dick(s). Even in retirement Chief Gates held some clout over the "good ole boys" and MF toed the line, backing down on his heated rhetoric on CNN.
Most Interesting.
I believe the statements of Rampart being there means they hung out at OJ's residence from time to time, and one of them took home a blonde to the suana or swimming pool. He was the alcoholic friend who now works real estate and prior to either was a guard for Rockingham and Bundy? and still had his buddies at the Security Service place he had worked, and whom responded with a key to OJS gate at Rockingham. Not that gates stop Rampart. Over the fence and through the estate to find the turkey there (Mr. Kato Kailen). Sharp eyes and keen investigative skills (LOL) located a teeny spot of blood on the inside of the Bronco and a "glove" behind Kato's hacienda. Thus the famous

If the shoe salesman sold Simpson shoes, how come he didn't testify to selling him those "ugly *****ed shoes"? Or did he testify in the Civil trial?
As far as the prosecution not knowing about those pictures, I don't believe it. The NE was approached during the "criminal trial" with those pictures and refused to buy them.

Yes, and Nicole had been invited to get out of the house and stay with another "friend" to which she declined. There was something coming down and the "friend" was aware of it. I'm trying to remember if that was Cora or Kardashien's ex-wife. There was brief testimony on that in deposition I believe by Cora. Cora is the one who impressed on my mind what a dangerous life Nicole was living with Fay while they were trolling the neighborhood issuing Hollywood Hello's. There was also the prior boyfriend from Mezzaluna whom OJ caught through the open window of Nic's residence and again in the swimming pool cabana, while the kids were swimming without adult supervision. I'm positive I would have been a worse reactive, particularly since he had already lost a child to drowning. I'm not sure how OJS got to be the dirty bad guy while all these people planning and scamming and picking his pockets, hung out like flies, including Heidie Fleiss, later to hiss like snakes losing their worm holes.
Mother in law and Father in law hanging on with hands outstretched and taking taking taking, to turn against him when the chips were down. Who didn't discriminate when it cost $10,000 a month to care for the children while he was incarcerated though. Fighting tooth and toe nail to maintain the custody, never a bad word from OJ about his experience in plucking his children from their clutches. No bad word while the Judge deemed the children not to be around Denise Brown and very questionable regarding Lou Brown's dealings. Lotza unanswered questions that will always remain so until the "children" start demanding answers.
Ignored is the limo that pulled up and had Nicole hanging on some unidentified individual, with her in a white bathrobe according to witnesses- while body guards stood around. (Marcus Allen leaving town?) Ignored are the skate boarders who stated there were people peering into Nicoles residence through the fence.
I hate it that I'm starting to remember all the salacious details I had forgotten. All while I am to understand Rampart officers are running brothels downtown. Give me a break. I will be surprised if GollyWood Town and surrounding area doesn't break off and fall into the ocean from the evil hoards of filthy lucre that drives the cogs and turns the wheels who run the town.

It's up to the Brown's and I understand why they don't wish to dignify this ridiculous false claim by releasing their telephone records to anyone. If you wish to see them, all you have to do is look at the prosecution's exhibit of an enlarged photocopy of the Brown's telephone bill showing all of the times and phone numbers for the long distance calls made on June 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th.
If you've never seen it I will be more than happy to put the copy I have of it on my web site for you to download. But since you evidently have the criminal trial taped you should be able to see it yourself.
Isn't it amazing that not one of Simpson's attorneys for either trial has ever gotten involved in this request or even supported it. That alone should tell you what a sham this is.
You say I have nothing that hasn't already been contradicted. You haven't contradicted any of the evidence I presented with anything except your opinions.
bobaugust.
Thank you. And where might I find the telephone records from OJS home; Nicole Brown Simpson's home; and the calls made from the rehab center by Faye Resnick... which would have permanently established the time for Nicole Brown Simpson. I'm sure since Ron Goldman was meeting friends out of town that evening he would have went home from Mezzaluna and took a shower, changed his clothing and that would have taken some time. He borrows a girl friends car and drives it to Nicoles, planning to get with his friends later. Poor Ron Goldman was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have no doubt he was a nice guy doing chores for a celebrity's wife with stars in his eyes. He did not plan to be a waiter forever, only until he was discovered. :cool:

I can hardly wait to discover the true killer or killers and in no way do I believe it was OJ Simpson. He's now offered himself up to be another ball to kick and I hope they kick up some dirt while they are falling over the goal posts.

It doesn't matter what the exhibit manifest says. The prosecution exhibit that was entered into evidence in the criminal trial during Karen Crawford's testimony is an enlarged copy of the Brown's actual telephone bill. It shows the long distance calls by time and telephone numbers made on the night of the murders.
Karen Crawford originally estimated the time that Juditha and Nicole called the restaurant when she testified in the grand jury and the preliminary hearing. The Brown's telephone records confirm and document her estimated times. In the criminal trial during her testimony Shapiro offered a stipulation that the records shown on the prosecution exhibit were accurate and depict the time the call came into the restaurant. From that point on Juditha's call to the Mezzaluna restaurant that she made from her house as soon as she arrived home from the restaurant was always referred to by it's documented time, 9:37 PM.
That's reality. Your claims are pure fantasy.
If there was any question as to the authenticity of the records Simpson's defense would have raised them. Cochran and company were not as stupid as you seem to think they were and neither were Baker and company. The jury didn't have to be given the telephone records. They were instructed by the court and rightly so that in a situation where the attorneys stipulate and agree to a certain fact, they were to accept that as evidence in the case.
By the way the link you posted doesn't work.

The prosecutors didn't know about the any of these photographs at the time of the criminal trial. The Scull photograph became known when it was published in the National Enquirer after the criminal trial was over. An expert from the FBI, Gerald examined the negatives and the photographs and found no evidence of fraud. he determined that the photograph was genuine and authentic.
In the civil trial Simpson and his attorneys called it a fake using a not so every expert. Robert Groden, who testified what methods he used and how he concluded the photograph was altered. Gerald Richards used state of the art instruments and measuring equipment to produce precise measurements proving the reliability of the negative explaining that copy machine enlargements such as the one Groden had made at Kinko's create distortions that render useless all measurements taken from them. Richards gave simple, obvious explanations to all the other fictional abnormalities listed by Groden. The Scull photographs and negatives are authentic.
Later in the civil trial the over thirty Flammer photographs became known. Over thirty photographs taken as the same football game that Scull had taken his photographs. The Flammer photographs and negatives were authenticated and given to Simpson's defense attorneys. Every photograph showed Simpson wearing the exact same clothing and the exact same Bruno Magli shoes that the Scull photographs showed. One of Flammer's photographs was published seven months before the murders. A copy of that publication was entered into evidence.
The Flammer photographs confirmed that the Scull photographs were authentic. The published photographed proved that they were authentic.

THE COURT: Sure. Don't go away, Mr. Rubin.

THE COURT: We're over at the sidebar.
MR. COCHRAN: With regard to this, I think that this is an inappropriate time for it. I think it's inappropriate at this point. My client has no objection basically, but the problem is, he doesn't want to do it with the TV cameras trained on him, all that sort of thing. I think that--I'm not sure how I want to phrase this objection. First of all, I don't want him to have to do it without having latex gloves on, and I think the evidence is such that I would like to ask more questions of this witness. This witness says he thinks anything from a medium to extra large is going to fit him. That will be helpful to us.

Hi, I am a newbie to this board (I am usually found over at the JB boards)....anyway, thanks for posting this. I had forgotten about OJ wearing the latex gloves while trying on the leather gloves during the trial, until I saw a clip on the news last night. It is my opinion that the latex gloves, most definately, would have made putting those leather gloves on...no matter how thin the latex gloves was, it was still an extra layer...that would have made putting the leather gloves on alot harder. I think that Johnny Cochran knew this, too! IMO

I believe the prosecution knew about these photos because I believe it was in one of the books written by someone on the prosecution side.

That is the million dollar question(s) on these phone calls. We know what time Simpson called Nicole to speak with Sydney. I do know that Faye gave a wrong time and then covered herself.
We know about what time the little girl was picked up and it is obvious that Nicole did not display any type of distressed. Faye says that she knew Ron was coming over, but if that is the truth then she had to talk to Nicole after her phone calls regarding the glasses.
What I find interesting is that many people have assumed, regardless if it was Simpson or whoever, that Sydney could have only been talking about one phone call---but maybe she wasn't. Maybe she fighting during one phone call was crying during the next.
I think everyone is discounting the dog walker Heidstra. I agree that it was briefly BEFORE ELEVEN that Nicole was murdered and Heistra heard the loud noises and slaming of the gate while he was standing in the alleyway. He went on home and observed cars not car fleeing the area with people going different ways. There was a jacket hanging on the kitchen chair, not Nicole's and sheer speculation of who that belonged to, that possibly someone else was there hiding in the closet. That is only an unsubstantiated tidbit of mysterious flavor to an ugly murder. It is obvious whomever killed Nicole and Ron never entered the home since there was no blood on the carpets. The door was left open for Nicole to run out to let Ron in the gate and is how the non vicious Akita got out in the violent activity that occurred.
Heistra returned home in time for the news at 11:00 p.m. Nicole was alive up to and possibly past 10:45=10:50. Then it got quiet with a lot of smoke and mirror testimony to follow. This is when OJS was in the shower and packing his bags for his trip, packing his bags outside to the driveway and the only nervous person in the bunch was one Kato Kaelin. I wonder why he was so spooked. I guess because he found himself home alone?

So I gather that they didn't shrink.
StarShine, when Clark questioned Brockbank on redirect she showed her a photograph of when she measured the gloves on June 21 pointing out the hem of the glove. Brockbank explained that the actual hem was loose and the actual edge of the leather was now at the rim of that opening rather than the fold that would be there if the hem was in place.
Regardless, the measurements Brockbank made of the gloves does not tell us how much smaller the gloves were from their original size only the difference in size between when she first measured them and then and then after Simpson put them on his hands on June 15, . Rubin told us that amount when he measured them before Simpson put them on in the criminal trial on June 15, 1995.
November 6, 1996
Q. (BY MR. KELLY) Have you seen those gloves prior to today, Mr. Rubin?
A. Yes, I have.
Q. And you saw them over a year ago, actually, in Mr. Simpson's criminal trial; is that correct?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Did you have an opportunity at that time to measure the length of those gloves?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. You measured those gloves at this time. What was the length of the gloves when you measured them, if you recall?
A. Nine and three-eighths inches long.
Q. Approximately an inch less than the standard length?
A. Approximately.
Q. What percent is smaller than the standard extra large would that have made them at this time?
A. Between 10 and 11 percent.
Q. And what would you attribute, or could you attribute that differential of the 10 or 11
percent to anything?
THE WITNESS: Combination of normal wear and tear, time, and shrinkage.

StarShine, I've read over 25 books about the Simpson case and I've don't recall reading where the prosecutors knew about the Scull photograph, although I only skimmed Darden's book.
But the fact is that it was in the civil trial that Simpson lied about wearing those shoes. The over thirty Flammer photographs show Simpson posing with many members of the Buffalo Bills Monday Morning Quarterback Club who hired Flammer to take those photographs that day. Some of the photographs show Simpson posting with dignitaries from the Buffalo Bills who then bought those photos a short time after that game.
That September 1993 Buffalo Bills football game was honoring Simpson on the anniversary of his running record. A TV news sideline video taken at that time was also shown in court, again showing Simpson wearing the exact clothes the Scull and Flammer photos show him wearing.
Simpson was impeached by all of those authenticated photographs.

I'm sure since Ron Goldman was meeting friends out of town that evening he would have went home from Mezzaluna and took a shower, changed his clothing and that would have taken some time. He borrows a girl friends car and drives it to Nicoles, planning to get with his friends later. Poor Ron Goldman was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have no doubt he was a nice guy doing chores for a celebrity's wife with stars in his eyes. He did not plan to be a waiter forever, only until he was discovered. :cool:
Zold1, you can read about them in the transcripts but other than that I don't know that you can obtain any of those telephone records or see them.

martin II, I believe Rubin knew how to measure the gloves and measured them correctly.
November 6, 1996 Richard Rubin
Q .(BY MR. KELLY) Is there -- with the extra large Aris gloves, is there a standard length of that glove for the extra large?
A. In the manufacturing process, there is a pattern; and if it came out perfectly, it would be around ten and three-eighths inches long.
Q. Is there usually some variation on that length?
A. Every piece of leather will have a little bit different flexibility and elasticity to it, so there can be a variance. But the standard would be ten and three-eighths in a finished product.
*
Q. Did you have an opportunity at that time to measure the length of those gloves?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. You measured those gloves at this time. What was the length of the gloves when you measured them, if you recall?
A. Nine and three-eighths inches long.
Q. Approximately an inch less than the standard length?
A. Approximately.
Q. What percent is smaller than the standard extra large would that have made them at this time?
A. Between 10 and 11 percent.

But the fact is that it was in the civil trial that Simpson lied about wearing those shoes. The over thirty Flammer photographs show Simpson posing with many members of the Buffalo Bills Monday Morning Quarterback Club who hired Flammer to take those photographs that day. Some of the photographs show Simpson posting with dignitaries from the Buffalo Bills who then bought those photos a short time after that game.
That September 1993 Buffalo Bills football game was honoring Simpson on the anniversary of his running record. A TV news sideline video taken at that time was also shown in court, again showing Simpson wearing the exact clothes the Scull and Flammer photos show him wearing.
Simpson was impeached by all of those authenticated photographs.

Starshine, that's exactly what Simpson. Do you actually think he was trying to dress to look good to commit murder?
The fact is that Simpson chose all dark colored clothing for concealment in the dark. Clothing that he could dispose of. He wore an old dark colored knit hat, old dark colored gloves, a black cotton sweatsuit that was bought for him for the exercise video he made two weeks before the murders, dark colored socks and old dark colored shoes.
The fact that the shoes may be expensive to you does not mean they were expensive to Simpson. These Bruno Magli Lorenzo shoes were basically glorified hush puppies. Simpson had probably last worn then when he attended a football game some 9 months before the murders. Simpson's closet was filled with shoes, it was no big deal for him to dispose of these.

martin II, Bodziak looked at more than the tip of the shoe sole. Besides the fact is that in Bodziak's investigation into what kind of shoes left those prints he found that all Bruno Magli Lorenzo style shoes were manufactured using the exact kind of Silga sole that was consistent with making the bloody shoe prints.
Triumph of Justice,
"After receiving permission from the FBI we gave the (Scull) print to Bill Bodziak. Using high resolution photography techniques Bodziak was able to blow up the photo and actually see the Silga sole treads, the same pattern as the bloody shoeprints leading down the footpath away from Nicole's and Ron's bodies.
Bodziak explained how he used eighteen points of comparison between the shoe in that photograph and a Bruno Magli exemplar and found them to be exactly the same."

Zold1, actually all of the blood found at Bundy, in Simpson's Bronco, and on the killer's right hand glove came from only three people, the two victims and Simpson. Nicole's blood was found on Simpson's socks.
Simpson's hair was found on Ron's shirt. The same blue black cotton fibers that were found on Goldman's shirt and on the killers right hand glove were also found on Simpson's socks.
Photographs show Simpson wearing the exact kind of gloves the killer wore, and the exact kind of shoes the killer wore.

Zold1, no I don't think this was a lopsided investigation.
Evidence Dismissed,
"Lange and Vannatter were deluged by telephone calls, ranging from the LAPD high command and reporters to potential sources who want to offer information. These tips, usually provided anonymously, cause the LAPD to open a "clue book" for what would become 518 clues, 50 of which pointed to a variety of motives and suspects having nothing to do with Simpson. ALL fifty of these tips were investigated.
As to the telephone records, they were entered into evidence, and the relevant times were stipulated to in the criminal trial. Is I said I have no idea how or who can obtain this evidence. Just because it's not available to the public does not mean it's not available.

jotun, the fact is that the times shown on the Brown's telephone records were stipulated to are the evidence in this case.
There was no 11:00 PM telephone call, only a mistaken time estimate when Lou Brown told Ratcliffe about the telephone call his wife made to Nicole the last time she ever spoke with her. Lou Brown told Ratcliffe that was when Juditha Brown told Nicole about her eyeglasses that were found at the restaurant.
After speaking with her mother Nicole immediately called the restaurant and spoke with Ron Goldman who said he would drop her mother's eyeglasses off on his way to meet his friends that night.
We know the times of those calls from Karen Crawford who first spoke to Juditha Brown and then to Nicole about five minutes later. The Brown's telephone records support Karen Crawford's and Juditha Brown's testimony documenting the actual time the calls were made.
Johnnie Cochran didn't make any mistake. Simpson's defense was given those telephone records to examine and check out. Both Cochran and Shapiro agreed to those times in different stipulations. That's reality.
The fact is that both Ron and Nicole were dead before 11:00 PM. That's reality.

Zold1, most reasonable thinking people who are familiar with thin leather skin tight gloves understand that the gloves did fit Simpson. Not a good fit since he made sure not to stretch them to fit because he didn't want them to look like they fit him.
If Simpson's life had depended on those gloves fitting him, they would have. He would have pulled them on his hands stretching them to fit. That's what always has to be done for skin tight gloves to fit properly.
In the civil trial when Rubin testified he was given permission to put his hands in the gloves. They had been sitting in evidence for a year and a half, they hadn't been stretched, they hadn't been warmed or worn. As Rubin testified he refurbished the gloves by putting the lining back in the fingers and then by pulling the gloves on his hands stretching them back to close to their original size. Rubin continued to work these dried up bloody gloves right there on the witness stand. This went on for a while, and he had a pair of nicely warmed and pliable gloves in hand before Baker
made him take them off.
Simpson wouldn't go near them. The defense decided to play the tape of the glove demonstration in the criminal trial.

StarShine, Simpson's white Bronco was not unusual in Brentwood. Based on the choice of cars he had to drive it was the least noticeable choice then his black Bentley or red Ferrari.
When Simpson was driving the Bronco he wasn't concerned about being seen. His clothing didn't make any difference. Simpson dressed for concealment in the dark after he got out of his car and made his way down the dark walkway to the front of Nicole's condo.

by some neighbor, or someone that may have been visiting nicole,(Like the Dr that picked up his child) or one of the many people passing by nicoles condo. especially since he knew he would only have about 10 minutes to do everything required and be home at 10:25 for the limo.

martin II, the prosecutors office had nothing to do with it.
Clark wrote about this in her book. She knew that the defense would probably ask for Simpson to wear a pair of latex gloves underneath. Since the AIDS crisis, anything bloodstained required protection. She believed latex would screw the fit up so they had asked Aris to send them duplicates of their Airs Leather Lights, extra large, just like the ones found at the crime scene to try on Simpson when the time was right.
Rubin was Darden's witness and Clark didn't know until that morning that Rubin was going to testify. She asked Darden where the duplicate gloves were, but he didn't know. So she started asking others and was told they were on the way to the court. The box arrived and Darden told the court he wanted to question Rubin first to establish that the new gloves were the exact same size, make, and model as the killer's gloves.
When Darden took the gloves out of the box and showed them to Rubin, Rubin said they were Aris gloves but not Aris Light gloves. Darden had never checked them out ahead of time but he still wanted to go ahead and let Simpson try on the actual murder gloves. Clark argued with him saying that the Latex would will screw the fit up and they can't do this. She told him lets wait and do it when they get the right gloves. Darden insisted they go ahead..
Clark kept arguing, "Don't do it. This is a trap!" Darden wouldn't listen saying, "This is my witness, and I say we have to put them on him now before they do."
Cochran of course had no objection but laid down his terms that Simpson wear latex gloves.

martin II oh martin -- you are so very transparent. You've been on this board for years belittling LE and specifically calling Vannatter and Lange liars, blah, blah, blah. Now, because they are arguing with Fuhrman, you're quoting them for the truth. Does this mean that all of the other stuff they testified to is now truth? The fact of the matter is, there is a police photo of a swiss army knife box sitting on orenthal's bathtub.
How about you look it up and let us know if the box was entered into evidence in the criminal trial as the box that the killers knife was packaged in?

The fact that they did not object suggests that they were on a fishing expedition, which, in the view of the majority of reasonable thinking people I have spoken with, backfired."
"That would indicate that the prosecution was not sure of their own results or that they suspected that Simpson may have contacted a disease, which they had not tested for, from the gloves. Either way it suggests a weakeness in their case, imho."
Your explanation that because the prosecutors did not object suggests that they were on a fishing expedition is wrong. Your opinion that because the prosecution allowed Simpson to wear latex gloves it showed a weakness in the prosecution case is wrong.
Clark wrote that she believed "the court would never let anyone try on the bloody gloves without wearing latex gloves beneath them. Since the AIDS crisis, anything bloodstained required protection."
Clark also wrote that she knew that latex gloves would affect the fit of the gloves and that Simpson could make the fit appear too tight. That's why she wanted Simpson to only try on the duplicate gloves.

She was able to argue that the glove had been tested for aids and no virus was detected or she could have objected to the experiment in total due to the use of laytex-they were pulling clothes off a clothing rack, which ultimately did not fit. How can you argue that the glove fit and then claim, as did the prosecution, that they would have fit if not for the laytex? Another example of your circular arguments, imho.

I respect the way you express your thoughts as your opinions. I do not know how many posters think that Simpson is innoncent and I personally believe he was not guilty as charged.

LOL..yes he did. How about when he was asked to stand up (when one of the witnesses said that they saw someone that night near the scene that looked to be about OJ's size). I watched it again on the news the other night...he had this stupid smirk on his face when he stood. (Not exactly the look of a man grieving the loss of the mother of his children). He looked smug, almost as if to say..."Hey people, look at me...I am OJ Simpson, the famous football player". When he sat down, he was laughing. (Reminded me of Scott Peterson at his trial). I can think of only ONE reason that OJ was found innocent...and if I write it, I will be banned....or bashed for being "prejudiced". So, I will just keep it to myself, and let the other posters figure it out for themselves. (IMO)

why is it that i have to tell you the same thing 2-3 times before you get it.
Vanatter and Lang had it out with the split tounge talking out of
the side of his neck M Furhman on the Geraldo show i think it was saturday or sunday. If you did not see it, then maby you should request the transcript of the show since you seem to be interested and continue to mistake my post on the issue.
I never said anything about believing Vanhatter, lang or furhman.
Since bob has on many ocassions used that swiss army knife box as PROOF that the 4" knife, (that some think was used in the murders) was origionally packaged in that box. I was wondering
if that box was ever entered into evidence in the case. bob has informed me that it was not used in the case. so now i know his theory about the box was just an idea he had and not proof of anything. imo
Ps Vanhatter and Lang ripped Furhman apart on many issues during this show and you should have seen the LOOK on Furhmans face as they contradicted almost all of his claims.

You got a point there. But do these people REALLY think that he is innocent, or that he is innocent because he is some sort of "superhero" in some people's eyes? In other words...deep down they know he is guilty, but think that he shouldn't be held accountable for whatever reason. Its just hard for ME to imagine anyone thinking that OJ is REALLY innocent, no matter what the poll says.

Clark didn't make any arguments about this to the court, Rubin wasn't her witness. Darden was the attorney who was questioning Rubin. The prosecutors had decided before not to let Simpson try on the bloody gloves because they knew that he would have to wear latex gloves underneath them. They also knew that because these gloves fit skin tight that Simpson could easily make it look like they didn't fit.
Their strategy was to have a duplicate pair of the exact same kind and size gloves that Simpson could try on. If the time was right that was what they would ask Simpson to try on. Darden was to question Rubin to establish the make and size of the bloody gloves before Simpson was to put on the duplicates. But it didn't happened that way. Darden didn't have the duplicates when he started questioning and when he got them to show Darden the manufacturer had sent the wrong pair.
The only circles are in your head. Clark never said the gloves wouldn't fit Simpson, only that the latex gloves would make the fit of the skin tight gloves more difficult to put on. "Simpson had splayed his hands like a two year old to keep the gloves from being pulled down over his fingers. No one had come up with a way to keep Simpson from pulling those shenanigans."

As you can read O.J. didn't waive his right to the phone records despite the stipulation.
jotun
jotun, I am not in a position to speculate on what Johnnie C. might have been thinking. The OMIG investigators were trying to get through all of the red tape to speak to Johnnie about this before the 13th Pan Afican Film Festival screened "Serpents Rising" in L.A. in Feb. 2005.
We couldn't make the connection. It was a "have your agent speak to my agent type of thing". The viewers became mad when the film got to the part with Johnnie saying 'we're not going to show the jury the phone records'. A few important people who were there knew Cochran and vowed to confront him about the phone records remark, however, a short while after it was announced that he had brain cancer, further removing him, and finally he was dead.
If one were to substitute the words phone records for bloody photos in Johnnie C. prejudicial-versus-probative sec. 352 argument to Judge Ito, one could understand the prejudicial nature of showing unconnected bloody photos to the jury, however, we still can gather only one meaning of prejudicing the jury had they been provided an opportunity to examine the actual telephone records.
If the records indicated an 11:00 PM phone call was occurring between Nicole and her mother Juditha then OJ was in the back seat of a Limo being chaufeurred to LAX international airport. This would have been highly prejudicial and criminally indicting, and that's what I believe that Johnnie C. was trying to tell the court conspirators. In essence, he appeared to be saying: (paraphrasing) 'come on people, remember our unholy alliance, we agreed that we would have honor amongst thieves, and now the prosecution is betraying that committment'.
I'd encourage you to analyze the Serpents Rising clip on YouTube that shows Johnnie C. slipping up in making this remark in July/1995 for some reason it has become the hottest of the four clips that we posted.

Thats the only reasons that I can figure, why there are people out there that actually think that OJ is "innocent". No other possibilities even make sense. IMO

There are many people that have different opinions of the case other than what you have stated as your position.
The most qualified people to determine if oj was guilty or not guilty was the 12 people on the jury.
Actually i know many whites that belive oj was not guilty.

martin II, actually the most qualified people to determine if Simpson was the killer were the civil trial jurors. Not only did they have all the evidence that the criminal trial jurors had but they had additional evidence and the advantage of seeing and hearing Simpson testify.

Vannatter was the first to see the blood drops on Simpson's driveway. That's what he testified to.

This was a disaster waiting to happen and the prosecution team should have known it. Duplicate gloves might have been a good idea in theory, but I doubt Judge Ito would have allowed it. In fact, I thought he had ruled on this and his ruling was not favorable to the pros. IMO, this could have been a big issue on appeal had he been convicted.

I know what you mean about not wanting to argue, but some are very protective of the idea of Simpson being innocent. imo. I'm sorry to hear about your cousin.

deputydi, I don't recall Ito making that kind of ruling but Clark wrote that after she told Darden that the duplicates were on the way Darden asked to approach the bench. Darden told the judge he would like to lay the foundation that the duplicate are the exact same size, similar make and model so that perhaps they can have Simpson try them on at some point.
Cochran objected saying ,"If Mr. Simpson testifies and we want to have him try the gloves on in evidence, that's one thing... Are you going to allow them to have the defendant try duplicates on?"
"I think it would be more appropriate for him to try the other gloves on," Ito put in. He meant, of course, the bloody gloves.
Clark wrote, "I did not like the way this was going. We had to steer the discussion back to the duplicates. When Rubin took the stand, Ito allowed Chris to question him outside the presence or the jury, about the duplicate gloves he'd brought." But when Darden got the duplicates out of the box and Rubin looked at them he said, "They're Aris gloves, but these are not Aris Light gloves that were like the ones we're talking about.
Clark told Darden to forget this whole thing, but Darden insisted that they go ahead and let Simpson try on the bloody gloves. Clark could do nothing but sit back and watch.

Maybe someone has mentioned this already. Honestly, I read only about two pages of posts here, but I do have a few questions. Forgive my ignorance and memory of the trial, here as well. I am no leather expert, but I have lived in Southern California and unless one is an avid skiier, the opportunities to wear gloves are few and far between. So, unless OJ was somewhere cold with those gloves not too long before the murders and wore them in enough, they wouldn't have had a chance to mold and fit his hands, would they?
Another question, the glove may not have fit, but if they were relatively new, and possibly a gift, would they have to? If you are going to wear gloves to commit a crime, the tighter the better so long as circulation isn't interrupted just for the sake of agility. And why not wear those gloves that are ill fitting and tight for a bloody crime when they are going to be discarded?
I have a pair of nice leather gloves that I wear during the winter and I know that it takes a while to get them on the first few times I put them on each year.
I don't believe for a minute that OJ is innocent, but those are the glove questions that have nagged at me for some time. I hate that this case was so focused on a glove. Too many factors involved here IMO.

My post about the gloves molding to fit ones hands was in response to a poster saying that the gloves got WET while oj was wearing them.
If oj had on these gloves when they got wet they would initially streatch from the moisture and would mold to the shape of his hands as they were drying from the water that day.

that is what vanhatter said during the Geraldo show. That he saw them as the daylight was breaking. To my surprise Furhman
then claimed that Brad had been the one that found them.
In case you did not see the show;
Geraldo had furhman on for a few minutes allowing him to attack oj for the interview/book and talk about his part in the crime scene and rockingham etc etc
After he had made certain comments, Geraldo then switched to Vanhatter and Lang by remote camera to get their responses.
I am not sure Furhman knew that Vanhatter/Lang were waiting
by remote.
So Geraldo switched back and forth between Furhman and Vanhatter/lang and it was obvious to me that there was bad blood between furhman and these two. imo

I had actually heard an african american say on tv, that even IF OJ was guilty, that he shouldn't go to jail....for reparation for the slave days. HUH? (IMO)
You will find many outrageous remarks made by many outrageous people. There are the remarks made by the comedian who played Kramer as an example. There are many who killed slaves and Black Americans who have escaped justice. I do not see the outrage on this board over those verdicts or lack thereof.

"That would indicate that the prosecution was not sure of their own results or that they suspected that Simpson may have contacted a disease, which they had not tested for, from the gloves. Either way it suggests a weakeness in their case, imho."
Your explanation that because the prosecutors did not object suggests that they were on a fishing expedition is wrong. Your opinion that because the prosecution allowed Simpson to wear latex gloves it showed a weakness in the prosecution case is wrong.
Clark wrote that she believed "the court would never let anyone try on the bloody gloves without wearing latex gloves beneath them. Since the AIDS crisis, anything bloodstained required protection."
Clark also wrote that she knew that latex gloves would affect the fit of the gloves and that Simpson could make the fit appear too tight. That's why she wanted Simpson to only try on the duplicate gloves.

Bobbie, you are wrong again. I stated that the prosecutions failure to object "suggests" they were on a fishing expedition. It obviously showed a weakeness in their case when they allowed him to try on the gloves without knowing whether they would fit or not. Clark, I am sure has herad of the "best evidence rule" and knew that no court/judge would allow the prosecution to have him try on another/duplicate pair of gloves, since the question was whether or not those specific gloves fit, not alleged duplicate gloves. You may accept what she writes as the gospel, but I am certain that people, who know of legal concepts, realize that she just made an excuse for the prosecution's stupendous blunder.

Clark didn't make any arguments about this to the court, Rubin wasn't her witness. Darden was the attorney who was questioning Rubin. The prosecutors had decided before not to let Simpson try on the bloody gloves because they knew that he would have to wear latex gloves underneath them. They also knew that because these gloves fit skin tight that Simpson could easily make it look like they didn't fit.
Their strategy was to have a duplicate pair of the exact same kind and size gloves that Simpson could try on. If the time was right that was what they would ask Simpson to try on. Darden was to question Rubin to establish the make and size of the bloody gloves before Simpson was to put on the duplicates. But it didn't happened that way. Darden didn't have the duplicates when he started questioning and when he got them to show Darden the manufacturer had sent the wrong pair.
The only circles are in your head. Clark never said the gloves wouldn't fit Simpson, only that the latex gloves would make the fit of the skin tight gloves more difficult to put on. "Simpson had splayed his hands like a two year old to keep the gloves from being pulled down over his fingers. No one had come up with a way to keep Simpson from pulling those shenanigans."

I don't believe you see the outrage on this forum simply because it is a forum regarding OJ Simpson.
I am personally outraged anytime I feel that justice has not been served, regardless of the color of an individual's skin. There was a trial in North Carolina some years ago in which a man raped and beat his estranged wife while he videotaped the crime. Both the victim and defendant were white.
The jury saw the videotape at trial and yet handed out an aquittal. I was, and remain, outraged.

Hi Ames and welcome to the forum!
On this forum you will find many varying opinions. I was on the fence for a long period time and had no issues with the criminal trial verdict. In following the civil trial, and inundating my mind with research, I formed a very firm opinion in his guilt which I hold to this day.
Arguing on the forum is okay, as long as it remains civil. Several people push the envelope at times, but it's par for the course in such a heated topic.
The "glove demonstration"... I do not think they fit, and that actually clinched it for me that they were indeed his gloves based on the fact that when he used to do football commentary he would wear the same type of gloves and they didn't fit him then either.

As I suspected from the time we began posting, you are not like some of the posters on this board. I understand that this is the Simpson forum and perhaps my post would have been better posted on the thread of the role of race in the CJS, but I was responding to the comment attributed to Blacks and the fact that whoever this person is he does not speak for all Blacks and some of us still seek equality without divisiveness.

martin II
martin II, I didn't see that entire show only a portion when Fuhrman was on.
Fuhrman wrote in his book that after he returned to Rockingham after going back to Bundy to check the match of the gloves, his partner Brad Roberts had arrived. He wrote that he showed Roberts the Bronco. It was Brad Roberts who then saw the bloodstains inside the Bronco. They called Vannatter over and showed him. Vannatter returned to the Ashford gate and Fuhrman and Roberts watched Rokahr photograph the blood spot on the door.
Fuhrman wrote that Roberts made another observation, he saw the drops of blood on the street on the driver's side of the Bronco leading toward the Rockingham gate. He wrote the gate was unlocked. They walked through the gate observing more drops of blood on the driveway, He wrote, "To my knowledge, this was the first time anyone had gone through the gate from the street that morning."
Fuhrman was wrong about that being the first time anyone had gone through that gate that morning.
When he and Phillips were at Bundy checking the match of the glove, Vannatter wrote that he walked across Simpson's driveway expecting the criminalist and the photographer to arrive. He said dawn was breaking and it was getting light outside. As the shadows continue to abate, Vannatter looked down on the pavement near the Bentley and the Saab and saw a red spot.
He put his glasses on and bent down to examine it. It appeared to be a drop of blood. Looking ahead towards the gate he saw another, and then several others. He followed the trail of blood into the street to the rear of the Bronco. With more light around now Vannatter peered inside the locked Bronco from the passenger side window and saw blood smears on the passenger side of the console and on the driver's side door. Retracing the blood spots he saw blood drops leading right to Simpson's front door.
That's when Vannatter said Simpson became a strong suspect.

martin II, I haven't read anywhere that Darden had to get permission from Clark as to how he handle his witnesses.
The prosecution believed that that if they established the fact that the duplicate gloves were the same exact size and model as the murder gloves, only new not old, then Simpson would have no problem putting them on his bare hands. It would be up to the judge to decide to let Simpson try on any glove.
The problem came when it was found that the gloves sent by Aris were not the same gloves. At that point Clark told Darden not to continue but to wait, but Darden decided to go ahead and ask Simpson to try on the bloody gloves disregarding Clark's objections. Rubin was his witness and he believed he could do what ever he wanted to do.
Does that answer your question about getting approval?
