...Simpson murder trial turned briefly, but memorably, into a Cinderella-like spectacle as prosecutors sought a fit for the case's famous bloodied gloves. "They're too small," said Simpson as he struggled, at prosecutor Christopher Darden's behest, to pull the allegedly incriminating gloves over his hands-a turn of events that was widely perceived as a blunder for the prosecution. Darden quickly suggested Simpson was faking his difficulty, then solicited expert testimony that the blood-soaked leather gloves had shrunk...
...Simpsonput on a new pair of the same brand of gloves as the bloody ones found at the crime scene, and this time they fit.

The British may not be coming...
...design of the shoe, which was never found, was so unusual that it couldn't be located in the databases of the FBI or seven international law enforcement agencies. After sending out over 80 letters to shoe companies and visiting an Italian manufacturer, the feds found their perfect fit -- a size 12 Bruno Magli with a waffle sole that sells for $160 a pair. Simpson himself wears a 12, a size, according to Bodziak, that is worn by only 9 percent of the people...
