...most part, the prosecutors handled these witnesses like the hot potatoes they were, cross-examining them only briefly. But with McKinny, prosecutor Christopher Darden set himself up for what defense attorney Johnnie Cochran later termed "another glove day"--a reference to the prosecution's disastrous move to have Simpson try on the leather glove found at the crime scene. "When Mark Fuhrman used those words in your presence," Darden asked, "why didn't you tell him to stop?"

...that a member of the prosecution team lied to the judge in chambers about what Mark Fuhrman said during a prosecution rehearsal of his testimony." If the witness were to testify that a prosecutor had lied to the judge, the impact on the Simpson case could be critical. Today, glove expert Richard Rubin testified that the gloves worn by O.J.

But Ito barred the defense from using any of Fuhrman's 18 statements about police misconduct and attacked the defense theory that Fuhrman had moved a glove from the murder scene to Simpson's house to engineer a frame-up. "This assertion is not supported by the record," Ito said. "The underlying assumption requires a leap in both law and logic that is too broad to be made based upon the evidence before the jury...
