O.J. Simpson’s ill-fitting gloves proved to be crucial to his defense team arguing his innocence to the jurors, who ultimately delivered a not-guilty verdict in the controversial trial. But for those who still question the outcome of the trial, even in the wake of Simpson’s death at the age of 76, the gloves were more proof that he actually carried out the murders. For starters, Simpson’s DNA was purportedly found in the gloves. While one glove was found near Ron Goldman’s lifeless body, the other was found inside Simpson’s home. Ultimately, Simpson’s legal teams accused the Los Angeles police of attempting to frame Simpson for the murders because of racially motivated interests.
However, that wasn’t the only DNA evidence present at the crime scene. Simpson’s DNA profile was found on Ron Goldman’s body, while fibers like those from Goldman’s shirt were found on the bloody gloves. The California Department of Justice DNA laboratory concluded that Simpson’s, Goldman’s, and Nicole Brown’s blood DNA were consistent with those found inside Simpson’s Ford Bronco, which they believed to have been his getaway car. The trio’s blood was also found throughout the crime scene near Simpson’s home. Not even Simpson’s former attorney and friend, Robert Kardashian Sr, was unswayed by the evidence, which he later revealed to Barbara Walters, caused him to question whether or not Simpson was actually the murderer.
