And why would I want them?
Damn Darden...
Feel terrible for the guy. I think he's made accusations against Cochran that he had tampered with the gloves, but I'm not sure how that would even be possible.
Another fantastic episode

Cochran didn't have to tamper with the gloves. After leather gloves get wet and then dry, they shrink and get stiff. I've seen it with my own golf gloves. When they're new, they slip right on with ease. After you sweat in them for 4-5 hours, put them away, try them on a week or two later, they're tight as fuck. They do loosen back up after about 20-30 min though.

Also, he's wearing a glove while trying to put on another glove, and maybe I'm mistaken, but wasn't there some conjecture that OJ stopped taking some arthritic medicine which caused his hands to swell slightly?

Just got caught up on the last episode. I was old enough to remember some of this trial but God damn they snatched Dardin's soul
Those are the major sticking points. But as Marcia Clark says in the show, you never give him the chance to put it on himself, it's begging for a disaster. I mean the man is in jail now anyway but had they been allowed to put the glove on him, the new identical pair without the latex underneath, he'd probably have been brought to justice.
Yep. Cochran too
Was him saying hello to the bailiff supposed to imply that he was doing it on the sly? Because it looked like the room was still pretty full when he did it.

I didn't take it that way at all. He was trying to be friendly to a law enforcement official he knew to try and stay on good terms, hence him wearing the pin, and he also had nothing better to do since he is outide of Cochran's inner circle, so he went to look at the glove and put it on and a lightbulb went off over his head.

Saw an interview with Cochran this morning where he says both he and Shapiro both tried on the gloves during a break, so I guess there was no issue..

Am I the only one who thought that if Marcia heard what Bailey said to Chris and what happened in the sidebar, she would have been able to stop Chris from playing himself?
In real life, Marcia and Chris were in agreement on having OJ try on the gloves. It was Ito who decided that OJ would try on the real, blood-soaked gloves as opposed to a fresh pair.

I don't think so. The jury did not believe in the blood evidence.

It's not that they didn't understand it; it's that they couldn't trust how it got there. That was the whole issue.
Caught up on the show with Xfinity. Damn, it's really fantastic. Episode 5 and 6 are the best so far, and I'm convinced they both clench Emmys for both Vance and Paulson. Not that that matters because they're both doing some of the best acting work I've seen on TV period. It's just crazy enjoyable, especially not knowing anything about the show.
The sequence where Marcia changes her hair in episode 6 is just perfect and heartbreaking in every way.

I'm happy they went with Vance after they were rumored to go with Samuel L for Cochran.
Hmm, notice how she never actually denies that they hooked up? It definitely happened

It really is. You have some great stuff ahead of you.

New episode tonight:
Hah, it really is like Travolta was re-assembled before each of his scenes.
Also really pissed about some of the story choices. The romantic angle is unneccessary. Some of the court room scenes are impossible to confirm. Like the lead up to the glove defense. So many red flags.
I dont know why they cant just tell the story as it was. It would be really cool if they spliced in and out with real courtroom footage.

As soon as the trial starts it really takes off. I wasn't into the first couple episodes tbh

This Seinfeld-Martin thing is pretty funny.
Specifically OJ talking about Kramer, lmao.

I think it said
You are Lisa Simpson.
But I haven't seen the episode yet so I could be mistaken!

God that's amazing.
Really liked this episode. It was a nice change of pace to focus on the jury, and the show didn't even need it to stay interesting.

It said something like Recorded Fuhrman talking about framing niggers. I believe that was the nazi collector detective.
God, I can't believe this craziness. Like I said upthread, there were so many bizarre details I've forgotten about.
The jury shows up wearing all black?
And like I said upthread, if this weren't a true story I would accuse the writers of being hacks. Truth is stranger than fiction indeed.
And I looked it up, this is true, when the jury walked in wearing all black, "Fight the Power" was blaring full blast in the courtroom.

That's actually because Radio Raheem just got his new batteries and he accidentally wandered into the courtroom that day.

They actually used the original Dancing Itos footage... LOL!
^ Shudder. It was only a matter of time before the Dancing Itos popped up.
Whoa, Barry Scheck, the attorney seen destroying Fung's DNA testimony in this trial, along with another member of the defense (not represented on the show) were the founders of the Innocence Project a couple years prior to this.

That 'Another One Bites the Dust' sequence was fantastic! Loved all the sniping between Cochran and Clarke.

I feel like they are taking it easy on Judge Ito. It's, like, they aren't putting into direct, or at least explicit, context for his constant postponements and punting that made the trial slog on into months and months and months. I mean, it's there, but considering how obvious a lot of other things in the show, this seems tame and subdued.

Marcia really should've mentioned that OJ loved watching Seinfeld to the jury

Subete no aware
I have no idea what Ross is.
Also the jury meltdowns... I guess that will happen if you're stuck there for almost a year.

They sell stuff that the other clothing stores have unloaded, for whatever reason. So maybe there's an imperfection or they just ordered too much so they sell their stock to Ross.
