Mark Fuhrman was the racist cop. The dramatic stuff in the series actually happened. It's underplayed, if anything. Cochran's closing speech is far more powerful than the series suggests by reducing it to the "if the gloves don't fit, you must acquit" soundbite.

My Q-Face posted:This was a rumor reported in 1994. Which is probably why it was in the movie. Whether it actually happened or not, only OJ and his lawyers know. A DA shouldn't get his facts from TV Drama movies. The glove wouldn't have fitted anyway. The defence attorneys who tried it on had smaller hands than OJ and it didn't fit them. It might have been a relevant issue if the prosecution had been able to obtain a new pair of the same gloves in the same size, but the ones they obtained were a smaller size than OJ's - which left only the gloves which had been soaked in blood and were no longer in anything approaching the same condition they would have been when the killer put them on the night of the murders. It was a terrible, terrible error on the part of the prosecution. Them not even knowing OJ was taking anti-inflammatories at the time of the murders but not the time of the trial is just another illustration of their cockiness because even if all those other mis-steps hadn't happened, they needed to have an explanation for the gloves not fitting ready in case the defence got OJ to try on the gloves. Once the defence realised that the gloves wouldn't fit, they would almost certainly done that had the prosecution not beaten them to it.
