If I Did It

Ex-Prosecutor: O.J.’s Glove ‘Manipulated’

Accuses Johnnie Cochran of tampering with it.

Does this mean “if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit” is inaccurate? Former Los Angeles deputy district attorney Christopher Darden said at a panel on Thursday that he believes O.J. Simpson's lawyer, the late Johnnie Cochran, tampered with a crucial piece of evidence at Simpson's murder trial: the infamous glove. "I think Johnnie tore the lining" so the glove wouldn't fit over Simpson's fingers, Darden said at the "Trials and Errors" panel co-sponsored by Pace Law School and the Forum on Law, Culture & Society at Fordham Law School. Simpson is currently serving up to 33 years in prison for a 2007 armed robbery. Asked why he didn't report the suspected tampering, Darden claimed he didn't want to take a "whiny-little-snitch approach to life."
